Clinic Partnerships

A groundbreaking partnership has been established between the Humane Society of Broward County and Veterinary Centers of America (VCA), a network of over 320 animal hospitals nationwide. The association kicked off in December of 2002.

The VCA hospitals in South Florida have partnered to provide assistance to the Humane Society in a number of ways. Most importantly, a new HSBC adopter will now receive a $250 credit to a local VCA hospital for the first 14 days after adoption for a post-adoption check-up. (VCA veterinarians will treat the animals for the following: colds or coughs; de-worming; common skin problems; urinary tract problems; and vomiting and diarrhea, excluding Parvo virus. Also, post-surgery suture removal is now done at VCA locations.) If for some reason the animal needs to be hospitalized at that time, it will be done at a VCA hospital.

The Humane Society looks forward to a highly beneficial, long-term relationship with VCA. This partnership will allow us to help a larger number of homeless animals while offering quality care even after adoption. We’re grateful to VCA for coming on board.
