Each clinic is capable of spaying and neutering up to 28 animals per day. The staff consists of a licensed veterinarian, a licensed veterinary technician, a veterinary assistant, and an assistant who checks in each animal. The clinics operate an average of six days a week and travel from Virginia’s Eastern Shore to Gloucester and from the Border Station in Chesapeake, Virginia, to Emporia and locations in between.
