In July, our friends at Foster Army Animal Rescue hosted a Namaste Day in Riverside, CA—an event packed with purpose, compassion, and expert care. Thanks to their dedicated team, 54 cats and dogs received free spay/neuter surgeries, rabies vaccines, pain medication, and microchips—all at no cost to their owners.

The Jason Heigl Foundation’s Namaste Initiative makes days like this possible. By funding high-volume spay/neuter clinics across the U.S., the program helps reduce unwanted litters, shelter overcrowding, and euthanasia. Over the past year alone, the Namaste Initiative has supported thousands of free surgeries nationwide, each one representing a healthier pet and a brighter future.

For the families who came to Riverside that day, it wasn’t just a clinic—it was peace of mind, and a chance to keep their beloved pets healthy and at home.
