BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program works alongside shelter veterinarians, leaders, and staff to understand and uncover solutions to health, capacity, training, and access to veterinary care challenges affecting shelters and communities alike.
In October 2022, the City of Lodi Animal Services Division entered into an agreement with the UC Davis Campus School of Veterinary Medicine on behalf of its Koret Shelter Medicine Program to reimburse shelter expenses in the amount of $5,000. These funds were used by the City of Lodi Animal Services Division to secure a contract with an animal behaviorist to provide behavior evaluations and assessments on shelter dogs in addition to providing training.
The partnership proved beneficial and the University agreed to amend the agreement, extending its terms through June 6, 2025 and providing the Shelter with an additional $12,000 in funding.
