Soul Dog started with a mission of helping the deserving dogs and cats on Tribal Lands in the Four Corners region. It seemed that very little was being done to address the overpopulation situation and lack of resources available for pet owners. Rescue was happening on a small scale by some hearty groups who had been doing what they could, but what was really needed was a proactive approach and a means to eliminate the unwanted litters of puppies and kittens being born at staggering numbers. Animal control was kept busy with the unpleasant task of euthanizing all of the unwanted animals, and things were in a bit of a spiral. Spay/neuter is the only answer to ever getting ahead, and Soul Dog knew that help could be given in this department. Spay/neuter is not sexy, it's not well-funded and its a grind. If you stop and ease up for even a year, all of your work is undone and you are back to square one. Knowing this, we made the decision to be all-in on bringing spay/neuter to the Four Corners. Our aim is to provide between one and two clinics per month in varying locations, making it not only affordable (no animal is EVER turned away for the inability of the owner or caretaker to pay) but attainable. The key is to bring the services right into each community, taking the transportation issue out of the equation (the Navajo Reservation is extremely vast and many miles separate each town and village from the next).

Our clinics are often held in chapter houses, schools, community buildings and vacant spaces, where we set up a "Pop-up Veterinary Clinic" similar to what one would expect from any stationary clinic. We bring in state-of-the-art equipment and leave no stone unturned as we aim to bring only the "gold-star" standard to the services we provide. Our staff is comprised of veterinary professionals who are experienced in the specialty of "high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter". The care received at our pop-up clinics is paramount to what we are doing and we pride ourselves in offering the standard of care parallel or exceeding what would be received in other clinics. We often have one-on-one post-op care for each patient and animals have eye-balls on them until they are fully awake to ensure that recovery goes smooth. 

Each week we work with animal control all over the region to take their healthy, friendly animals before they are euthanized. This has been a great relationship over the years and together we have been able to save thousands. Animals in the shelters take priority as those animals will be put down if we don't take them, thus we bring a transport vehicle each week to pick up these animals in need.
