APPRECIATION POST Ashley here prior to transitioning to fully administrative duties, I worked as a vet tech at NNN for years. Recently, I have been back in the clinic as a tech filling in and let me tell you...I had forgotten just how EXHAUSTING it is! So, I just wanted to give a huge shoutout and say THANK YOU to all of our amazing techs at NNN who work so hard, and very long hours, to provide the best patient care to all of the animals brought to our clinic. You all rock and we could not do this without you! (Ps we all like snacks )

Please join us in wishing our president, Martha, the happiest of birthdays Martha volunteers almost all of her free time to help NNN and is a constant advocate for animals. With her as our president, since 2008 we have been able to expand from our first clinic location in Allentown to a total of 4 locations throughout Pennsylvania. Thank you Martha for all that you do and HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Despite this we were able to spay/neuter a total of 12,659 animals! *2,406 pet and rescue dogs *5,199 pet and rescue cats *5,054 feral cats We would like to thank our amazing and dedicated veterinarians, technicians, and schedulers who all adapted to all of the new policies and protocols we... needed to implement during this time.
