The Solution: Loving All Animals coordinates local AWOs to run the first-ever vaccination clinic at Duroville.
Step one was recognizing the problem...
Step Two was pulling together the myriad of organizations and people to create the solution.
Loving All Animals President Lindi Biggi and Vice President Joy Diffendal create the partnerships and formulate an action plan.
The Veterinarians 
Dr. Lillian Roberts and Dr. Rebecca Diaz
coordinate the medical aspects of the Vaccination Clinic. Both doctors have busy practices, yet donated their time and talents to serve the dogs of Duroville.
The Vet Techs
The vet techs arrived in full force. More than 15 men and women donated their day to vaccinate and care for the dogs and cats brought in by residents or wrangled from the desert.
The Administrative Team
Non-medical volunteers from Loving All Animals, Animal Samaritans and Save A Pet worked tirelessly to identify dogs, create a referencing system, and assist the medical team.
The Resident Services Team
Gaining residents’ trust was a big challenge. Volunteers set up a children’s activities table with coloring and games, and gave out candy. The kids loved it!
Residents bring their dogs for vaccination and identification
Dogs are assessed and needs are determined
Most animals arriving had never seen a vet or received medical attention. As shown in the photograph (right), many carried tics and had to have matted hair removed for better observation.
Tic collars were placed on all arriving dogs, and Rabies and Parvo vaccinations were administered.
Save A Pet takes the unwanted dogs back to their shelter
in the hopes of finding them homes.
Duroville Vaccination, spay and neuter Clinics a Huge Success!
