Clinic chief helps low-income pet owners
Washington Times, DC
[Excerpts]

His patients are D.C. residents who can't afford to take their pets, most of them dogs and cats, to other clinics. "One of the great things about our mission is we get to take care of animals for the low-income community," which generally receive little care, he said.
Dr. Weitzman also runs welfare programs out of the Washington Animal Rescue League, such as a free spay and neuter program for pets of D.C. residents. The program started in May after another free neutering program shut down.
