California Education Through Animals Foundation (CETA) was established in 2007 as the non-profit arm of Veterinary Outreach    Based at Phoenix Ranch (est. 2004), we have developed a variety of programs to serve Yolo, Solano and Sacramento counties:

1. Teaching how to successfully incorporate animals into family life through sales and adoption of parrots, horses, laying hens and rescued pets.

2. Retraining or healing homeless animals for placement in "forever homes"

3. Teaching unique ways of interacting with animals that are rewarding, fun and empowering through ranch tours, "tag-alongs," pony rides and lessons.

4. Providing healing and therapeutics using animal interactions to promote the well-being of children and adults.

5. Working to establish a mobile low-cost spay/neuter service in the Yolo and Solano Counties to reduce the number of animals euthanized at local shelters. This service will eventually be available to pot-bellied pig owners who find it difficult to find veterinarians who treat pigs.

The various projects are in different stages of development as Dr. Chan builds a volunteer base and support from local organizations.  Donations and income from the ranch and Veterinary Outreach allow us to continue providing these services.
