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.

Meet Copper!

The adorable 5 months old bundle of energy you've been waiting for! This spirited pup is ready to bring boundless joy and excitement to your home. Copper's vibrant personality shines through in everything he does, from his enthusiastic tail wags to his playful antics. Copper is the epitome of an active pup, always on the lookout for his next adventure. As he is still just a puppy, new people and places can be scary.

into an amazing companion. If you're ready bring home love, laughter and unforgettable adventures, visit San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus to make Copper (904837) part of your family!

Good things come in small packages – and Sergeant is a whopping 12 pounds of the greatest pup you’ll ever meet!

Spunky 5 Year Old Sergeant loves to play with squeaky toys and go for walks where he can sniff to his heart’s content. His zoomies are a sight to behold and he likes to finish each round of play time by getting gentle pets and belly rubs. You wouldn’t believe it looking at him now, but Sergeant was initially very shy when we came to the shelter as a stray. He has since warmed up to his caregivers, wagging his tail with delight when he sees them, and it’s been truly heartwarming to see his confidence grow!

If you can give him time to adjust to his new home and family, then you’ll find yourself with an irreplaceable, loyal and loving companion for life. Visit San Diego Humane Society’s San Diego Campus to adopt handsome Sergeant (896877) today! If you have questions about the adoption process, you can visit sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-299-7012.

Are you ready to add a little sweetness to your life?

Maize is the kitty for you! This delightful, 3 years old lady, is a feline socialite, always ready to greet you with a gentle head bump and a soft purr. Though her past is shrouded in mystery like a cat detective novel, her future is bright with promises of love,
companionship and sunny spots to nap in. She’ll enjoy curling up beside you during movie nights and provide the best kind of company with her warm presence. Maize is a kitty who knows what she likes and prefers to keep her feet firmly on the ground. She's not a fan of being scooped up and held like a furry trophy, and would prefer to be ogled and adored from a short distance.

Maize's new family should be prepared to follow-up with a veterinarian after bringing her home to keep up with some dental health needs. If you’re ready to bring the most wonderful fur-iend and companion, visit San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus to adopt Maize (901189) today!

Meet Beyonce, a lovely, sweet 8-year young girl who is looking for someone to shower her with affection! Her mellow nature is in perfect contrast to her superstar’s name.
