Appointment Form
We’re so happy you’re excited about this opportunity, we are too! Let us know
what services you’re most interested in and we’ll reach out to schedule an appointment.
MABEL, which stands for Making Animals Better and Enriching Lives, is a 28’ vehicle with housing for cats and small dogs on-unit. Because of the MABEL Clinic, we are able to travel to partner locations throughout Summit County to provide services on site. The vehicle has the capacity for intake care, surgery preparation, anesthesia, and climate control. In addition to spay/neuter surgery days, vaccination and wellness exams are offered to help maintain the health of pets.

This program would not be possible without the Cynthia Parker Matthews Family Foundation and our community of friends’ robust support of our mission to give voice to Summit County’s beloved animals and provide them the care they need and deserve!
