Tomball's Abandoned Animal Rescue opened its Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinic today with a full schedule for veterinarian Dr. Dev Rajan. The clinic is open four days a week, Tuesday through Saturday, and while appointments are recommended, it accepts walk-ins Wednesday through Friday.
After his former employer, another Houston-based spay and neuter clinic, was forced to close, Dr. Rajan found his way to AAR in Tomball through acquaintance. He has spent years working with animals who have been abused, abandoned, and mistreated by animal hoarders, he said, and wants to play a part in solving the overpopulation of dogs and cats.
"I want to do something productive to proactively prevent more healthy animals from being euthanized because there is no one to adopt them," Dr. Rajan said.
The clinic operates from the shelter's main facility at 419 E. Hufsmith Road, and offers other services, including wellness exams, minor surgeries, heart worm exams and medicines for flee protection.
