• Logan's Run Rescue (LRR) stared in 2009 when a group of friend volunteering and working at our local humane society, felt there was a better way to address the overpopulation and the suffering it causes.  They started LRR as a 501c3 charity with a mission to go after the root cause of the suffering by setting up a Low-Cost Spay/Neuter program.  There was so much demand we decided to investigate opening up a veterinary clinic that would support that demand.  We partnered with Dr. Tracy Land and opened Tri-State Spay/Neuter & Veterinary Clinic in 2015 to provide both Low-Cost Spay/Neuter services but also affordable veterinarian care for all.  We just celebrated our 10th year in business October 2025.
  • All of us are passionate about preserving the human-animal bond and increasing access to affordable veterinary care for all families by providing low cost preventative care, increasing access to spay/neuter, and public education.  
  • We are a teaching clinic.  We believe in investing in our staff and creating a productive and supportive work environment where people can learn, teach, and grow in their career.  But in order to do that, the staff has to have both the time and energy to teach and learn.  It is a fact that burnout, compassion fatigue, and even depression plague our industry.  We attack those problems head on in a very simple way so staff member get the time to learn and teach.  First we overstaff by one or two every day.  Second, we give the staff extra/enough time off so they can heal physically, mentally, and even emotionally.  That extra time away from work to spend with family and friends, we understand the tremendous value in that which we believe is represented by a simple formula:  Enough time off = Better Medicine and happier employees.  Plus being overstaffed ensures time to learn and teach.  Sure that is not maximizing profit and we are going to do it anyway.  That is why we are only open 4-days a week and never on the weekends or Mondays. 
  • We also believe in hiring for attitude and training for skill.  The right attitude by every member of the staff creates the kind of work environment that we all want to work in, one that is collaborative, supportive, and productive.      ​
