Kathleen,
I volunteered with SDC when they had their free clinic in Sacramento this past April. I am a trainer and want to offer free behavior services. I have to say most of the dogs are very good. The only complaints are jumping and pulling. I brought harnesses and leashes and was happy to see so many ditched the collars. I hope with the no-pull harnesses, the guardians will be able to control their dogs better. The next clinic is in July and I am definitely volunteering again.

Hi Dr. Lewis,
Street Dog Coalition is another non-profit that provides free care for pets of the unhoused. The organization is rooted in Colorado but they have free clinics all over the country or wherever they can partner with the vets. Does San Mateo County have a Street Medicine program as well? It is wonderful that programs like StreetVet, SDC, and yours exist. Thank you for supporting One Health.

Dr. Kwane Stewart will be the keynote speaker at the 2023 CVMA PacVet Conference in Long Beach. Can't wait to meet him.
I do this work for San Mateo County, I have tried to utilize the One Health concept with my work for the county Health Department and we coordinate with the Street Medicine program to provide care for the pets as well as their owners!

Updated 5/15/23 at 2:07pm - Recording is now available to watch on-demand!
We hope to see you on Monday, May 15, 2023 at 11am PT for our next Community Conversations call.
We will be joined by Dr. Kwane Stewart, Veterinarian and Co-Founder of Project Street Vet. Project Street Vet is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit public charity that provides free veterinary care, treatment, and support to the pets of individuals experiencing homelessness and/or housing vulnerability. During his presentation, Dr. Kwane Stewart will tell us about his personal journey -- "Many years ago on the verge of leaving the veterinary profession, I stumbled upon an unhoused man and his suffering dog. In a spontaneous act of kindness, I discovered why it wasn't my time to give up. It led to a 12-year, life-changing odyssey - serving the pets of the unhoused - that continues today."
Here's a teaser of some of the incredible work Dr. Kwane "The Street Vet" and his team does for the unhoused community -
