There are some things you can only learn by standing quietly in the corner of a room.
That's how our Executive Director, Autumn Allor, opens her new editorial feature about Pets Alive — and it's a fitting way to describe what the piece is. Not a report. Not a highlight reel. Just a quiet morning spent watching the clinic at work, and the people who make it run.
You'll meet Erik, whose work is finished before the first patient ever reaches surgery. Kari, who built a feline recovery room where the lights are softer and nature sounds replace the noise of a busy clinic. Shellee, who is often the first person you meet and the last one you see. The doctors, the front desk, the rescue partners who choose hope before we ever meet an animal — and yes, the office ambassadors, who take their jobs very seriously.

If you'd rather hold it in your hands, there's a print edition (PDF) too.
And if the piece leaves you wanting to be part of it — schedule an appointment or support this work. Tomorrow morning, the phones will ring again.
