Shelter Medicine Club
The Shelter Medicine Club is hosting a presentation by Dr. Barbara Hodges from the Humane Society Veterinary Medicine Association on Monday April 12. She will be speaking on “On the Front Line—The Veterinarian’s Role in Recognizing, Reporting and Preventing Animal Cruelty.”
The club is also beginning a “drive” for donations for needy pets in our community. During the month of April please bring unopened food items and new/gently used toys, blankets, leashes, etc., to the bin in the lobby of Magruder Hall. Their goal is to collect more than 200 lbs of pet food to be donated to local shelters and pet owners in need.
The club will also resume selling coffee and snacks in the lobby during the lunch hour on Mondays and Tuesdays. All money raised will go towards funding the second Feral Cat Coalition clinic they will put on this year.
