The Imperial County Board of Supervisors has approved a $636,000 grant for the Humane Society of Imperial County to purchase a fully equipped mobile spay and neuter clinic. - The mobile unit will serve underserved communities including Salton City, Niland, and Winterhaven on a monthly rotation.

- The initiative targets three critical issues: severe shortage of veterinary care, growing stray populations, and overcrowded animal shelters. - The Humane Society is partnering with the Animal Action League for staff training, with the clinic expected to be operational by June 2027.

This investment aims to revolutionize local animal care and reduce the region's stray crisis.
