Healing on the Move: Dr. Christina Sisk Brings Compassion to the Front Lines

from Ojai: Talk of the Town · host Bret Bradigan

In this episode of Ojai: Talk of the Town, I ride along with Dr. Christina Sisk and her dedicated vet-tech crew from the Ventura County Humane Society on their mobile spay-neuter clinic. Our destination: a homeless encampment in Oxnard, where veterinary care can mean the difference between a pet thriving or suffering.Dr. Sisk shares her journey from growing up a farm girl with a deep bond to animals, to competing as an equestrienne in college, and ultimately to leading community-focused programs that go beyond the clinic walls. We talk about the Humane Society’s innovative Pets for Life program, which connects underserved pet owners with resources, supplies, and ongoing care — meeting them where they are, both literally and figuratively.It’s a conversation about service, trust, and the quiet but transformative power of showing up for those who need it most, whether they walk on two legs or four.We did not talk about cast-iron cookery, Napoleon's 100 Days or the fascist comedy of Frank Fay. Check out the Humane Society's "clear the shelter" adoption-fee free event on August 23rd at https://www.hsvc.org/
