At HSSW, we joke that the unspoken goal of our work is to put ourselves out of business by supporting the community in ways that keep animals from ever needing to come into the shelter. Imagine if every animal in Southwest Washington got the veterinary care and behavior training it needed so it could stay with its loving family for its entire life? For too many pets, that is not the case. The Nierenberg Community Veterinary Clinic is a key example of an upstream strategy that will keep people and pets together.
