ARF's mobile clinic targets regions of Contra Costa County with high surrender rates and low-income residents who cannot otherwise access affordable services, and works with our partners at the Departments of Veterans Affairs to provide free wellness checks for the pets of veterans.
ARF's 33-foot, custom-built, state-of-the-art Stephen Ball Mobile Clinic is named in memory of Stephen Ball with gratitude for his legacy gift, a reflection of his love for nature and animals.
