🌟 Staff Spotlight: Dr. Hagan! 🌟

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on one of our amazing relief veterinarians, Dr. Hagan! She helps out in our wellness department and is an absolute dream to work with. Our staff and clients adore her, and she fits seamlessly into our culture.

Dr. Hagan fully embraces our mission and doesn’t shy away from challenges, regularly vaccinating 100+ pets in a single day! Having her fill in also gives our other vets the chance to take much-needed time off, which is so important for our hardworking team.

Thank you, Dr. Hagan, for your time, dedication, and the exceptional care you provide to every pet you meet!

106 Pets Vaccinated Last Friday! 💉🐾

Our team vaccinated 106 pets at our First Friday vaccination event with Independence Animal Services last week! Along with vaccines, we offered microchips, heartworm tests, and flea/tick/heartworm prevention to help ensure every pet who visited left happy and healthy. We also spent time chatting with owners about the importance of spay/neuter and how our clinic can support them.

A huge thank you to all the owners who trusted us with their pets, and to our incredible staff and volunteers for making this event possible. And a special shoutout to our volunteer, Cierra, for capturing these wonderful photos! 📸PC: Snapshots by Cie

This past Saturday, we officially cut the ribbon on our brand-new, 24/7 accessible microchip scanning station!

A huge thank-you to the Neighborhoods and Housing Services Department City of Kansas City, Mo for sponsoring this project and event, helping make it easier for lost pets to get back home.

About the station:
The scanner is available anytime, day or night, located on our urgent care side at 5829 Troost Ave, KCMO (look for the mural!) and includes clear instructions, in English and Spanish, on what to do if you’ve found a lost pet. You can quickly scan the microchip and follow the steps provided.

We also hosted a free microchipping event for KCMO residents and microchipped the first 50 pets who stopped by. It was a great turnout, and we’re grateful to everyone who came out to participate.

This new station is another step toward keeping pets and people together, supporting owners, and strengthening our community.

How does PRCKC stack up? 🐾

Thanks to Cara Fiser, who collected this data as part of her MAPL Program Capstone Course at Metro State University, we compared 2024 spay and neuter numbers across cities our size — and here’s what we found:

📊 2024 Spay & Neuter Surgeries by City
- Kansas City (PRCKC ALONE): 12,959
- Oklahoma City: 16,107
- Portland: 13,339
- Salt Lake City: 13,013
- San Antonio: 13,978
- Denver: 12,546
- Cincinnati: 11,157

PRCKC is performing a large portion of spay and neuter surgeries in Kansas City, and our numbers are competitive with other similarly sized cities nationwide. It’s not just about the numbers, it’s about the lives we’re helping, the families we’re supporting, and the pets we’re keeping safe.

Together, we’re making a difference nationwide.

Feel Good Friday!

We’ve already been putting the Carhartt coats donated by Scott Poore to amazing use this week! We delivered one to Zena, her family recently had a house fire and lost everything. While they are getting back on their feet we wanted to hook her up with a new leash, collar, harness, toys, food, and her very own styling Carhartt to keep her warm and cozy!

We also replaced Simba’s old Carhartt from last year (last photo) with a brand new one! Simba spends most of his time indoors, but he’s a wild man at heart and loves his outdoor adventures! We had to make sure he stays safe and warm while he’s out exploring.

Big thanks to Scott Poore and everyone who donated a coat for helping us keep pets warm, safe, and stylish this winter! 🧡
