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.

🦴 Let's find Billy a family for the holidays! 🦴

NAME: Billy
AGE: 5 years old
GENDER: Male

ID #: 947839

CAMPUS: Oceanside

ADOPTION FEE: $165

Meet Billy! Billy is a gorgeous boy with movie star looks and a mellow vibe. While he may come off a bit standoffish when meeting new people, give him a little time (and maybe a treat or two), and he'll show you just how sweet and affectionate he can be. Billy is housetrained, loves receiving attention and is always up for a snack. He has a positive history with kids, but any children in the home should come in to meet him before heading home together. As for dogs, Billy prefers to be your one and only. He will thrive best in a home that doesn't have too much local dog activity and can manage his reactivity. Billy loves his walks and does tend to pull on leash — but a chest-clipping harness and some positive reinforcement training will go a long way. If you're looking for an energetic companion with a heart of gold, Billy (947839) might just be your guy! Visit San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus to meet him today.
