“At Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, we believe in giving back to the community,” said Fantasy Springs’ General Manager, Jay Chesterson. “Hosting the pet clinic is one small way we can help ensure that local families and their pets have access to essential care. Pets are part of the family, and by supporting their health and well-being, we’re investing in a stronger, more compassionate community.”

This community collaboration aims to promote responsible pet ownership, reduce pet overpopulation, and support families in caring for their beloved animals.

“Spay and neuter is a solution as we work to make Riverside County a no-kill community for our animal shelters,” said Riverside County Supervisor V. Manuel Perez.  “I especially want to recognize Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and Coachella Animal Network for their support that makes this whole event possible during the hot summer weather. Everyone working together makes a difference, with veterinary teams from Riverside County, Animal Action League and San Diego Humane Society providing their services to get 90+ pets spayed and neutered, along with many other services available that will help pets.”
