Positive in the Community: The Toby Project

PCI Animal Health highlights veterinarian community initiatives within our region.  PCI Territory Manager, Lisa Alexander, wanted to showcase The Toby Project out of New York City for our latest feature.

"I am a huge advocate for our pet community and when a PCI customer shares initiatives that impact our companion animals, it motivates me to share their accomplishments with others," said Lisa.  

Andrew Kaplan, DVM,

President of The Toby Project

Veterinarian Andrew Kaplan started The Toby Project after he adopted a wolfhound/lab mix, scheduled for euthanasia the same day as the adoption.  Dr. Kaplan decided to help end pet overpopulation by forming the non-profit, which offers free and low-cost spay/neuter services to low income pet owners.  The organization uses a mobile surgical truck and makes stops around the New York City area (Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island).

The Toby Project has spayed or neutered 10,000 animals to date preventing the births of as many as 122,880,704 offspring in five years!
