One Health Veterinary Solutions
Advancing shelter medicine by supporting people, systems, and animals—together.
Our Mission
One Health Veterinary Solutions aims to strengthen California animal shelters by enhancing medical care, workforce stability, and veterinary leadership. Our animal shelter consulting services partner with shelters to develop and implement best-practice standard operating procedures (SOPs) for animal medical care, ensuring consistency, quality, and humane outcomes. We provide targeted training for registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) and lay staff, equipping teams with the skills and confidence needed to deliver high-quality daily care.
Additionally, we assist shelters in evaluating and improving their workplace culture and operational structures, making them more attractive and sustainable environments for veterinarians. By thoughtfully matching shelters with veterinarians whose values and goals align, we support long-term success for both organizations and clinicians. Lastly, we emphasize veterinary mentorship, mentoring and training early-career and inexperienced veterinarians, helping them build the confidence, competence, and support systems necessary to thrive as full-time shelter veterinarians.
