We make every attempt as a team to do our part in the community in making a difference in animals lives! Improving the lives and wellbeing of our pets starts with knowledge and we make it our goal to educate the public. Dr. Wheaton has more recently been a regular in the OC Register with his dedication to the cause assisting local rescue groups and founding his own, The Pet Rescue Center that focuses on Rescuing Pets, Creating Families & Saving Lives! In an effort to remedy the real issue of pet overpopulation he has also donated his old location to The Pet Rescue Center for their very own Low Cost Spay Neuter Program "Affordable Spay & Neuter."
