Caring for Our Los Angeles Community Through the Wildfires
January 24, 2025 · COMMUNITY
NVA General Practice teamed up with American Humane Society to support pets and pet parents impacted by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
On Saturday, January 18, five teammates from our own Overland Veterinary Clinic volunteered at American Humane Society’s pop-up wellness clinic to examine pets, distribute supplies, and administer vaccinations and medications. During the four-hour clinic, they helped over 35 animals.
“We stayed until every last pet was seen,” said Rick Guzman, Hospital Manager. "My team’s resilience shines through in moments like these. I’m so proud of them.”
As an organization, we remain committed to the LA community, which 600+ of our teammates and thousands of clients call home.
We made a significant donation to support American Humane Society’s ongoing efforts to deliver critical care and resources on the ground.
We activated our Employees Assistance Fund to support impacted teammates who’ve been displaced, lost property or incurred personal hardship.
Our Pet Resorts partners are offering free boarding for NVA employees impacted by fires.
We’re so proud of our community whose compassionate spirit shines brightest in times of need.

To further support the ongoing recovery efforts, American Humane Society has created an Emergency Relief Fund for Animals. This fund will help provide life-saving care and resources to animals in need.
