Success Stories

In April 2008, Pet-A-Medic received a call from Stephanie from Death Row Dogs Rescue. She had received a call from a very young boy named Renee, who witnessed a dog get run over by a car. The dog had a collar and a tag with the name and phone of the vet and rabies tag ID #. The boy called the vet clinic and said they couldn't find that number in their system, meaning they had no way of finding the owner. They told him to get the dying dog to the shelter.

That's when the boy somehow got a hold of Stephanie’s number, and called her. Stephanie called the vet clinic and very politely told them that they needed to find the owner's number. Stephanie knew that time was running out. She dialed Pet-A-Medic’s number and a unit rushed to the scene immediately. Knowing that Pet-A-Medic was on the way to rescue the injured dog, Stephanie continued to call the clinic. For her part, persistence paid off. The clinic finally was able to locate the dog’s ID # and the owner’s contact information.

Within the hour the injured dog “Rascal” was rescued, placed in the hands of a veterinary doctor, and was reunited with his owners. Rascal had to be rushed into emergency surgery but is doing fine. He should make a complete recovery minus a few toes and a bad limp. The car that ran him over didn't even stop!!!

Pet-A-Medic would like to especially thank the boy Renee, who had the patience and courage to stand by Rascal. YOU ARE A HERO!!!

In the News

L.A. PETS MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED
New law requires dogs, cats to be sterilized before reaching 4 months old.

LOS ANGELES - Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Tuesday signed one of the nation’s toughest laws on pet sterilization, requiring most dogs and cats to be spayed or neutered by the time they are 4 months old. The ordinance is aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating the thousands of euthanizations conducted in Los Angeles’ animal shelters every year. “We will, sooner rather than later, become a no-kill city and this is the greatest step in that direction,” Councilman Tony Cardenas said as he held a kitten at a City Hall news conference. The ordinance does exempt some animals, including those that have competed in shows or sporting competitions, guide dogs, animals used by police agencies and those belonging to professional breeders. The average pet owner, however, must have their dog or cat spayed or neutered by the time it reaches 4 months of age (as late as 6 months with a letter from a veterinarian).
