What Sets Us Apart
Shelter-First Approach
We start by listening. Our recommendations are grounded in your shelter’s unique needs, resources, and goals. Combining context-centered communication with best practices in shelter medicine to help your team succeed.
Long-Term Relationships
We’re not just here for today. We build lasting relationships with our shelter clients and support them as their needs evolve over time. Our goal is to help shelters reach the day when outside VOR support is no longer needed because every shelter has access to its own veterinarian.
Proven Process, tailored approach
We bring structure where it counts and adaptability where it matters. Our protocols are designed to be practical, efficient, and aligned with the ASV Guidelines and expert recommendations for shelter medical care.
What is a VORR
A veterinary of record relationship (VORR) can provide overall medical oversight for animals under your care or within your facility, helping increase live release rates, reduce reliance on outside veterinary referrals, and improve the overall health and wellbeing of the animals you serve.
