NATIONAL VETERINARY TECHNICIANS WEEK This week, we are celebrating our veterinary assistants and registered veterinary technicians for great work they do everyday! We thank them for their continued dedication, professionalism and compassion. “We have the privilege of improving the lives of animals and strengthening community involvement with our organization. We’re able to assist in ensuring animals receive vital medical care, improve their health and increase their chances for adoption. Our foster care program matches animals with temporary homes, where they can receive personalized care, reducing shelter overcrowding and allowing animals to experience love and care in a home setting; improving their socialization and well-being. We help bridge the gap between the shelter and the community, encouraging people to take an active role in animal welfare. We create strong connections between foster families and the animals, which can often lead to permanent homes, transforming the lives of both the pets and their adoptive families.” Larkin McDermott Randall Watts Stefanie Araki, RVTg, BASVT Anthony Tansimore Katie Dinneen Dayna Pesenti Sarah Zaghari Nina Y.

WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY!! On September 25th, our South Bay Intake Center admitted a post-hatchling gopher snake after it sustained head trauma at a local light rail station. At the time of intake, our wildlife staff members found the snake to be in shock with a small laceration on the left side of its face. Staff provided the snake with fluids, pain management, and wound treatment until the snake was fully recovered. After 20 days of treatment and monitoring, this gopher snake was ready to slither back to the wild! Interested in wildlife rehabilitation care?

We're raising the WOOF, as we help Randall Watts celebrate his 15th work anniversary!! Randy is our Lead Veterinary Assistant. When he started working at PHS, he was looking for a job, not a career, however over the years he's grown to love doing his work and became committed to the cause of helping animals in need. Randy enjoys coming in to work everyday, alongside very caring and compassionate people, who all share a common goal of helping animals in need that don't have anyone else to care for them. In his current role, he enjoys being able to educate the public about the many services PHS offers and being able to interact with all kinds of adorable animals. Receiving thank you cards from pet owners who he's helped during their worst and most difficult day of pet ownership is beyond rewarding for him and solidifies that he's doing right by the animals. Outside of work, Randy looks forward to snowboarding season, which he's done since 8 years old. Currently, he enjoys spending time with his son and watching him grown and learn. Interesting Fact - Shortly after Randy turned 18 years old, he went bungee jumping with his mom. The jump master told her after he jumped that Randy was the calmest person he has ever seen jump off a bridge. Thank you Randy for all that you've done for the animals over the years. We look forward to your continued dedication and calm demeanor for years to come! #PHSSPCA #Happy15Years #WorkAnniversary #LeadVetAssistant #animalwelfare #animalshelter #community #shelteranimals #nonprofit #SanMateoCounty #rewarding #impactful #purposeful #missiondriven #KUDOS #ThankYou #leadership #dedication #educatingpublic #veterinarycare #NowHiring #JoinOurPack #teamwork #VeterinaryServicesTeam
