All adoption dogs and cats are spayed or neutered before leaving for their new homes. They also receive evaluations by veterinarians, immunizations and follow-up veterinary care.

The Marin Humane Society Veterinary Clinic provides veterinary care for all animals within the shelter system. This includes a health evaluation and care for stray, impounded and surrendered animals, guidance by veterinarians for the Animal Care Department, and spaying or neutering all shelter animals prior to adoption. The clinic works extensively with the Foster Care Program to rehabilitate many animals who might otherwise not be considered for adoption, and also works closely with the Animal Services Department to evaluate and consult on cruelty and neglect cases.

The clinic provides veterinary care to Marin residents participating in the SHARE Program (Special Human-Animal Relationships). This program allows pet guardians to care for their pets after circumstances make it difficult for them to do it alone. By working with volunteers, participants can arrange for transportation and assistance to respond to their pet's veterinary needs.

The veterinarians and other clinic staff assist other animal rescue organizations and feral cat colony caretakers by providing discounted spay/neuter surgeries and health care.

As part of the K9 Care Fund, the clinic provides veterinary care and temporary housing to Marin's K9 Police – Sheriff & Fire Department public service dogs – throughout their lives.
