Operation Kindness offers Work Paws Playdates as a fun and interactive way for corporate partners to help give their employees some relief! Welcoming Operation Kindness animals into your workplace helps your staff stay healthy and practice good habits, such as taking breaks. On a deeper level, pets help alleviate some of the stress associated with work life. They also promote team bonding, laughter, and a positive work environment. Participating employees are encouraged to take a few minutes out of their day to leave their workstations and interact with the animals. Employees can walk a dog, play fetch, pet a puppy, or cuddle a kitten. As well as helps our animals become more socialized and prepares them for their new loving homes.

We’re excited to share that we have acquired a new mobile veterinary unit that will enable our non-profit to expand existing community vaccine clinics as well as bring veterinary services to shelter partners. The mobile unit started serving the community in July. The new Operation Kindness mobile veterinary unit will provide us with an enclosed, temperature-regulated space to perform vaccinations and microchipping at clinics, which are often hosted outdoors to provide easy access for members of the community. The mobile unit will also help us with our partner shelter services, as many of its shelter partners do not have surgery suites in their buildings. Operation Kindness’ Community Initiatives team performed over 8,657 shelter and rescue spay/neuter surgeries last year. “It is always our goal to help pets in the greatest need,” said Ed Jamison, CEO of Operation Kindness. “Operation Kindness’ new mobile unit will allow us to bring lifesaving care for animals to where it is needed most in the community.” READ MORE HERE: https://lnkd.in/g26w6fZc
