Napa Humane has quietly become one of the most vital lifelines for animals and their people in Napa Valley. Through a mix of veterinary care, education, training, and community support, they’ve built a model that focuses not just on placing pets in homes—but keeping them there. In 2025, their high-volume spay/neuter clinic continues to perform thousands of surgeries a year, while weekly drop-in vaccine and microchip clinics ensure pets stay healthy and safe. Their preventive care clinic, available by appointment every Tuesday, helps fill the growing gap in affordable vet access.
Their humane education and behavior programs are just as active. Pet Education Manager Alyssa Vincent leads a roster of dog training options—from recall workshops and puppy playdates to leash manners clinics—designed to strengthen the bond between dogs and the people who love them. Their behavior hotline remains a quiet but powerful service, offering families tools and guidance that often prevent a trip to the shelter.
Napa Humane’s partnership with the Napa County Animal Shelter has deepened as well. Twice a month, they bring a veterinarian onsite to provide essential medical care for adoptable animals, while also delivering hundreds of procedures and wellness services through the year.
