Veterinary clinic
A private clinic for the dogs in our care.
The Harry and Jaynne Boand Veterinary Clinic in Monterey is POMDR's own clinic. It cares for the dogs in our program and for the pets of Helping Paw clients. It is not open to the public.
A clinic of our own, for every dog in our care.
The clinic opened in November 2019 and is the medical home for every dog in our care. It is where new arrivals get a clean start and where our long-term and hospice dogs are kept comfortable. The pets of Helping Paw clients are seen here too.
-
Intake and wellness exams
Every dog who comes into our rescue starts with a full health check, so we understand their needs and can match them with the right home.
-
Vaccines and preventive care
Routine vaccinations, parasite prevention, and the ongoing care that keeps our dogs healthy while they wait for adoption.
-
Diagnostics on site
Every new dog receives a full exam, senior blood panel, heartworm test, urinalysis, vaccines and a microchip. We have a full x-ray machine, a dental x-ray machine and ultrasound, so we can look closer when something needs attention.
-
Dental care, surgery and lumps
Senior dogs often arrive with neglected teeth and other conditions. Most need a dental cleaning and many need extractions. We also aspirate, biopsy or remove any lumps that need it.
-
Hospice and comfort care
For our hospice and sanctuary dogs, the clinic focuses on comfort, pain management and dignity through every stage of life.
-
Specialist referrals
When a dog needs more, we refer to veterinary specialists including ophthalmology, oncology, dermatology, dentistry and internal medicine.
Good medicine is what makes a second chance possible.
Most of the dogs who come to us are seniors, and most arrive needing dental work. A clinic of our own means every dog in our program gets a full exam, a senior blood panel, a heartworm test, urinalysis, vaccines and a microchip, and the dental cleaning and extractions so many of them need, before they go to their new home.
Founded in 2009, Peace of Mind Dog Rescue is a resource and advocate for senior dogs and senior people on California's Central Coast. The clinic is where that care happens, for the dogs we rescue and for the pets of the people Helping Paw helps.
