This National Veterinary Technician Week, we're celebrating the incredible Associates who make our hospitals thrive — like Karen, who began as a CSR and never stopped growing and like Joanne, who sought mentorship and support to obtain her VTNE.

At VCA, we're proud to champion our veterinary technicians every step of the way — offering mentorship, encouragement, and the resources to help you reach your full potential.

To every vet tech in our VCA family: thank you. What you do matters deeply — to our teams, to our patients, and to the pet owners who trust us with their most beloved companions.

Every surgery starts long before the first incision. It starts with a veterinary technician who has spent years mastering their skills, anticipating needs, monitoring vitals, and showing up fully prepared for every patient who comes through the door.

Vet techs are the heart of every OR team, and their skill and dedication make a difference every single day. At some VCA specialty hospitals, we take surgical collaboration even further. Some of our teams include Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) — professionals who earned specialized degrees specifically to support surgeons in the OR.

The result? Less time under anesthesia. Better outcomes. And a team that truly works as one. 💙

Because every patient is somebody's pet — and they deserve nothing less than the best.

We are proud to partner with the SPCA of Texas to help newly adopted pets start off strong in their new homes. Through our Healthy Start program, each pet receives a free initial exam and personalized care, support, and guidance from our teams.

Meet this week's Monday Mutt Crush, Thor! Thor has the kind of face that makes you want to stop, kneel down beside him and whisper, “You’re safe now, buddy.” With his gorgeous, fluffy coat, warm loving smile and soulful eyes, this handsome 7-year-old German Shepherd mix has a quiet sweetness that reaches straight into your heart.

At 72 pounds, Thor is a big boy with an especially gentle spirit. He isn’t looking for a whirlwind of excitement or a house full of commotion. What Thor seems to want most is something wonderfully simple: a quiet place, a kind person and the chance to finally feel safe.

Once Thor knows he can trust you, you’ll discover what a special companion he is. A foster who spent time with him couldn’t say enough good things about this beautiful boy, describing him as fantastic, calm, sweet and obedient. Those are the kinds of words that tell you there is so much goodness tucked beneath that fluffy coat.

Thor may be 7 years old, but he has plenty of love left to give. In fact, he may be at the perfect age for someone who appreciates the beauty of a dog who has grown past the puppy crazies and is ready to simply enjoy being your loyal companion. Imagine coming home after a long day and finding Thor waiting with that wonderful smile. Imagine peaceful walks, quiet afternoons and the comforting presence of a dog who is happiest simply knowing he is with his person.

As an SPCA of Texas Senior Sweetheart—a pet age six or older—Thor’s adoption fee is FREE, which means there’s no reason to wait!

Sometimes the dogs who need us most aren’t asking for much. They’re asking for patience. They’re asking for kindness. They’re asking for someone willing to see past their uncertainty and give them the time they need to bloom.

Thor is waiting for that someone.

If your heart has room for a gentle soul who deserves to know what love and security feel like, come meet Thor. You can visit hm from Noon to 6 p.m. every day at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, Dallas, 75212). Thor has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccines.

Maybe the safe place he’s been waiting for is with you.

Meet this week's Mutt Crush Monday, Cash! Cash is an 8-year-old Hound mix with the kind of face that makes you want to stop everything, sit beside him, and say, “Well hello there, handsome!” Just look at those big floppy ears, soulful dark eyes, and sweet smile. Cash has mastered the art of looking both wise and absolutely adorable at the same time.

At 47 pounds, Cash is a wonderful companion-sized gentleman with a heart that is even bigger than his ears. He has a fun-loving spirit and an easygoing personality that makes being around him feel wonderfully uncomplicated. Cash enjoys getting out and exploring, especially when there are interesting smells waiting to be investigated. After all, he is a Hound, and the world is basically one giant mystery written in scents!

But Cash isn’t all about adventure. He’s also perfectly happy to slow things down and spend time with his favorite people. A leisurely stroll, a little sniffing, some quality companionship, and a cozy place to relax sound like a pretty fantastic day to this sweet boy.

Cash is the kind of dog who seems to understand that the best things in life are simple: being near someone you love, having a little fun, feeling safe, and knowing you belong. He’s loyal, gentle, playful, and ready to share all that love with someone special.

Cash is looking for a Foster to Adopt family while awaiting a dental procedure. Fostering with the SPCA of Texas is FREE—we provide all the food, bowls, toys, medications, medical care, etc. Cash’s foster family will simply provide love and bring him in for a few scheduled veterinary appointments before he’s ready to put his best smile forward. It’s a small step toward helping this handsome fellow feel his absolute best.

And here’s another reason to fall for Cash. Once he’s ready, as a Senior Sweetheart—a pet age 6 or older—his adoption fee will be FREE!

Could those soulful eyes be looking straight at you? Come meet Cash and see if this sweet Hound mix is the gentle, loyal companion your heart has been waiting for.

Visit him from Noon to 6 p.m. every day at the SPCA of Texas Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, Dallas, 75212). Cash has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccines.

Cash is ready to sniff out his next great adventure. We hope it leads straight to you.

Meet this week's Mutt Crush, Cake! Life is always sweeter with a little Cake—and this Cake is guaranteed to bring smiles wherever she goes! Cake is a lovable 2-year-old pup with bright eyes, a sweet smile, and a personality that's every bit as delightful as her name. Named after the adventurous and lovable character from Adventure Time, Cake is full of curiosity, fun, and enough happiness to brighten even the cloudiest day.

At 45 pounds, she's the perfect size for all kinds of adventures. Whether she's exploring a new trail, sniffing out hidden treasures in the backyard, or zooming through the grass with pure joy, Cake approaches every day with excitement and enthusiasm. To her, the world is one big playground filled with interesting things to discover.

One of the best things about Cake is her playful spirit. She loves investigating new sights and smells, learning about the world around her, and finding creative ways to entertain herself and the people she loves. Her silly antics are guaranteed to keep you laughing, and her cheerful attitude makes every moment feel a little more fun.

But Cake isn't just playful—she's also incredibly sweet. When the excitement settles down, she's happy to spend quality time with her favorite people. She's the kind of dog who wants to be part of your day, whether you're heading out on an adventure or simply relaxing at home.

Cake is also a wonderful listener. Need someone to celebrate life's victories with? She's there. Had a tough day and need a friend? She's there for that too. Her loving heart and loyal nature make her the perfect companion through all of life's ups and downs.

With her bright eyes, happy smile, and affectionate personality, Cake has all the ingredients needed to become someone's very best friend. She's looking for a family who will appreciate her playful energy, embrace her curious spirit, and give her plenty of opportunities to share her love.

Cake is an SPCA of Texas Longtime Lovable—a pet who’s been in the shelter more than 60 days—so her adoption fee is FREE!

If your life could use an extra helping of happiness, a sprinkle of laughter, and a whole lot of unconditional love, Cake is ready to deliver.

Come meet Cake today at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, 75212), which is open every day of the week from Noon to 6 p.m. Cake is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines.

Once you meet Cake you’ll discover why every home is just a little sweeter with her in it!
