✨ A Season of Progress and Paws ✨

From heartfelt campaigns to exciting milestones, EveryPet is making a difference every day—and you’re at the heart of it. ❤️

In this edition, we’re highlighting the meaningful impact Rosie’s Campaign is working toward, sharing some of our recent achievements, and giving you a sneak peek at upcoming events that bring our community together for the animals we love!

Thanks to your support, every tail wag and purr is a testament to what we can accomplish together. 🐾

Let’s dive in and see how we’re creating brighter futures for pets and the people who love them!

Rosie’s Fund Matching Campaign Is Back! 

This February, you can double your impact for community cats through Rosie’s Fund. 🐈

Rosie's Fund helps cover the cost of low-cost and no-cost spay/neuter surgeries, preventing thousands of kittens from being born into uncertainty, illness, or danger—and improving the health of entire communities.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, $20,000 has been pledged to match every donation made through February 28. 💙

That means every dollar you give goes twice as far, helping protect cats, prevent suffering, and create lasting change—one surgery at a time.

Give today and make your gift go twice as far! 🙏

🎙️ EveryPet: Live on First Coast Connect 🎙️

We’re proud to share that EveryPet was recently featured on WJCT’s First Coast Connect, spotlighting our growing impact on both pets and the future of veterinary medicine. 🩺

During the segment, CEO Jennifer Barker and Dr. Brian DiGangi, Director of Professional Development, discussed how EveryPet is expanding access to affordable, compassionate care while helping train the next generation of veterinarians right here in our community.

The conversation highlighted our Veterinary Student Training Center at the Norwood Spay/Neuter Center & Community Clinic, where veterinary students gain critical, hands-on experience in spay and neuter surgery, diagnostics, preventive care, and community-focused medicine. ✨

We’re grateful to WJCT for helping us share this important work and for elevating the conversation around sustainable solutions for pets, families, and the veterinary profession.

Operation Big Fix

EveryPet is proud to announce the successful launch of Operation Big Fix, a new initiative designed to remove financial barriers to essential veterinary care while addressing one of the root causes of pet homelessness. 🙏

Made possible through the generous support of Dogs Trust USA, this program provides free spay and neuter services for qualifying dogs in select Duval County ZIP codes at our Norwood Spay/Neuter Center & Community Clinic. 🐕

By offering surgery, pre-surgical exams, and full perioperative care at no cost to eligible pet owners, Operation Big Fix helps prevent unplanned litters before they begin—reducing shelter intake, easing strain on animal welfare systems, and improving long-term outcomes for dogs and families alike.

Programs like Operation Big Fix exist because of donors and supporters who believe in proactive, community-centered solutions. Your continued investment in EveryPet makes it possible to scale high-impact programs that save lives, strengthen neighborhoods, and create a more humane future for pets. ❤️
