Background Statement
Dr. Jeffery Young, DVM, established Planned Pethood Plus, Inc. (PPP) in 1990 as a low-cost spay/neuter clinic that has now grown to provides affordable full-service veterinary care. Planned Pethood is well known for low-cost mobile neutering clinics, Native American Reservation work and training of veterinarians from around the world in more efficient surgical techniques. Dr. Young has served on numerous Humane Society boards and has advised mobile surgical units all across America. In the year 2000, Dr. Young founded Planned Pethood International which was established to help fund spay/neuter and veterinary training. In 2023, PPI moved their headquarters to Conifer, CO and joined forces with local organization Intermountain Humane. It is a small, rural shelter, with minimal staff and many dedicated volunteers and the only animal shelter in Park County covering over 2700 square miles. In 35+ years of community service, 20,000 dogs and cats have been saved. The move of PPI's headquarters to Conifer, CO, and its partnership with Intermountain Humane in 2023 show the organization's commitment to addressing animal suffering on both local and global levels. By working together, they are making a positive impact on the lives of companion animals and contributing to animal welfare on a broader scale.
