We’re Off to Guatemala!

Author: Sara Castillo | Business Manager

On June 20, Spay Neuter Vets will be closed as several of our team members travel to Guatemala for a special mission with the People & Pets Project. We’ll reopen and resume our regular services on Monday, June 23. We want to share the story behind this closure and why it means so much to us, and to the animals and families we serve, both locally and globally.

Our Mission Trip: What We’re Doing and Why

At Spay Neuter Vets, our mission has always been rooted in compassion, service, and community impact. This June, we’re honored to partner with People & Pets Project on a One Health mission trip to a rural village in Guatemala. During our time there, our team will provide free spay and neuter surgeries to dogs and cats whose families might otherwise not have access to veterinary care. And if this wasn’t enough, because this is a One Health initiative trip, the mission will also provide medical care to the pet’s families. We are so incredibly proud to be a part of this!

The Impact: Local and Global

Our work in Guatemala is an extension of the values we live every day at home in Alpharetta. Just as we strive to make a difference for pets and families here, we’re proud to contribute our skills and compassion to communities in need abroad. This mission trip is about more than surgeries and medical care, it’s about building bridges, sharing knowledge, and making a lasting impact on animal AND human welfare.

What This Means for Our Clients

We know our closure may be an inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding as we take this opportunity to give back. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Clinic Closed: June 20

2. Reopening: Monday, June 23

3. How to Reach Us: While our physical clinic will be closed, we will still be monitoring calls, texts, and emails remotely. You can continue to book future appointments online, and we’ll be happy to assist you as best we can during this time.
