Caretakers will be able to bring enrolled pets to the UC Davis VMTH for annual examinations and vaccinations, as well as for emergency or chronic illness care. As the pets age, more frequent examinations will be provided for senior pet care. All the veterinary care provided to enrolled pets at the VMTH will be free of charge to the TLC for Pets caretaker home. For more information, please call the Development Office at 530-752-7024.

Gladys Valley Hall (formerly known as the Veterinary Medicine Instructional Facility) is one of five veterinary buildings being constructed over a five-year period. This 55,000 square foot multi-dimensional structure will be the School’s first new classroom building since Haring Hall was dedicated in 1950. When completed this spring, Valley Hall will become the instructional heart of the School of Veterinary Medicine, providing auditoriums, classrooms, dedicated meeting and seminar spaces, and designated study areas for students.

For a contribution of $1,000, you can have a nameplate permanently placed on a desk in of the VCA Hall, one of the two large auditoriums. Of the original 174 auditorium seats, only 44 remain available for naming.

This is an exceptional and unique way to:

• Honor a special someone – family member, faculty person, professional colleague
• Memorialize a beloved pet
• Gratefully acknowledge your UC Davis education
• Invest in the future of veterinary medicine
• Be an inspiration to others who will follow your lead

The Shelter Medicine Program at the Center for Companion Animal Health is the first in the world to comprehensively address shelter animal health care from a veterinary and scientific perspective.

This unique program is committed to improving shelter animal care through:

• Compassionate research
• Education of veterinarians, shelter professionals, as well as, veterinary students and residents
• On-site services to animal shelters

The program website www.sheltermedicine.com is specifically devoted to the discussion of medical and health issues in animal shelters. The widely available website has become recognized as an authoritative resource on topics in shelter medicine, including management of infectious diseases, vaccination, cleaning and much more.

The Shelter Medicine Program is funded entirely from private support. This program depends upon assistance from animal lovers to extend the level of service, education and research needed to improve the lives of homeless dogs and cats in shelters across the nation.
