What People Are Saying "I have had an incomparable experience here. Dr. Saxton is a gifted surgeon and teacher (not to mention a whole lot of fun!). The amount of information, one-on-one training, and actual surgical experience I have already received (in just 1.5 days) has far exceeded my expectations. I am definitely going home a vastly improved surgeon with much more to offer my patients and home clinic. The enthusiasm and high energy present here for the mission of HVHQSN [High-Volume, High-Quality Spay/Neuter] is inspirational. Thank you all so much for being very welcoming, supportive and great people with whom to work. The team with which I worked were fantastic and had excellent technical skills, compassionate animal handling, and were very kind to me personally." -Mary Lummis, DVM September 2009 "I can’t thank you guys enough for giving me the chance to spend a week training with you! I came into the program a little apprehensive about what I was going to learn, but walked away with more experience and skills than I could have ever imagined! The mission you have and the way you carry it out is inspiring. I truly feel like the “quality” part of your mission is an understatement – I was amazed at the care you gave the animals and the efficiency with which you handled the caseload…And, even with as busy as you were, you were so willing to teach! Everyone at the facility made me feel welcome and were more than willing to help coach – that, too, was amazing to me! No doubt, your facility has set the gold standard for spay/neuter clinics to follow. It was perfect timing for me to visit, as I am helping start up our new shelter. I came away with so many great ideas for our new facility! Thanks, again, for allowing me the opportunity to learn from you guys! I can’t wait to see you again in November!" -Megan Seabolt, DVMSeptember 2009 "I wanted to write to say thanks again for the excellent three days I spent learning from all of you. You are a world-class organization and I am all the better for passing through your doors. I was able to put my lessons right to work when I got back! We took our shelter's mobile surgery van to Wagon Mound, NM and did nearly 100 surgeries this past weekend so I had plenty of opportunities to practice my new stuff…I hope we can get some of our other vets to go out there to spend some time with you...I'm working on that." -Tom Parker, DVMSanta Fe Animal Shelter and Humane SocietySeptember 2009 "Well, it's day three of our adventure and I must say, every evening we look like we did on Day Four of Humane Alliance Boot Camp. We're exhausted yet excited! We are working daily on finding our groove and working thru the kinks and know in time we will become a well-oiled machine! This is all thanks to you and your wonderful, outstanding and compassionate staff! Words truly cannot express the experience we had last week and I'm sure you hear it often, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! The work you guys are doing, is the kind of thing most only hear about, and mention they would have liked to be a part of. Dr. Wood, Sarah, Pam and I are lucky enough to have been, and will continue to be, a part of the mission. I hope to see more attention paid to the HA organization and the NSNRT to help ensure this mission continues far into the future. Once again, thank you to everyone at Humane Alliance! You have four devoted fans in Delaware and we hope to make you all very proud of our results! We look forward to working with you again very soon." -Lori A. Crosier, Spay/Neuter Clinic ManagerDelaware SPCASeptember 2009 "Well, we have finished our first day, and I have just gotten back from a wonderful dinner with Karla and Leenie, the staff from the Provincial SPCA office, the staff from the Newmarket clinic, and our CEO. The day was successful, thanks in large part to the experience that we had at Humane Alliance. I wanted to write to you and extend my sincere gratitude for your team's professionalism, kindness, patience, and knowledge while we were training with you, before we even met, and I'm sure in the future. I feel very privileged to have learned so much from you and your team, and feel honoured that we are part of the Humane Alliance family. Thank you again, and I am sure we will keep in touch!" -Nicole Lamont, DirectorOntario SPCA, Marion Vernon Memorial Spay/Neuter ClinicAugust 2009 “They became so effective at delivering spay/neuter services in their region that they quickly became the ‘go to’ agency for groups that wanted to replicate their success. We began funding them to support their unique mentoring program, which so far has facilitated the opening of more than 52 spay/neuter clinics in 23 states.” “Humane Alliance has made a quantum leap in companion animal sterilization that is on track to revolutionize the fight against animal over-population nationwide. They help both rural and urban groups overcome tremendous barriers and have developed protocols that guarantee both quality and productivity in every clinic.” -Peter Marsh Director of Solutions To Overpopulation of Pets (STOP) “Our first visit to Humane Alliance showed the way to ending pet overpopulation. They have been wonderful mentors and we are proud to be one of their clinics.” -Barbara Greenstein Board President and Acting ED SNAC: Spay/Neuter Alliance & Clinic Ridgeland, SC “Humane Alliance is going to change the face of animal welfare for the country. They really ‘walk the talk’ and gave us the tools we needed. We’re on our way to 12,000 surgeries a year and have already helped open a smaller clinic at a local shelter.” -Betsy Boxer Executive Director Animal Allies Spartanburg, SC “Having Humane Alliance guide us through the thousands of procedures, processes and detail was invaluable. To be able to see first-hand how it works in Asheville made it all come together for us.” -Sarah Skoglund UCAN Spay/Neuter Clinic Cincinnati, OH “We’re in a very poor area, and when we started to create our clinic, people thought we were crazy. The NSNRT’s step-by-step mentoring and blueprint made it possible. Now we’re on track to sterilize 5,000 animals in our first year.” -Linda Clemons Executive Director The Humane Society of Putnam Co. Spay/Neuter Clinic Cookeville, TN
