Does your shelter have protocols in place for your shelter population other than dogs and cats? These animals make up (on average) around 10% of most shelter's intakes, so having protocols and plans in place for the most common exotic animal intakes can save time, hassle, and promote welfare of these creatures.
Coming up Thursday at 12pm Pacific/ 3pm Eastern is our free webcast co-presented by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians (ASV) where veterinarians and certified veterinary practitioners can earn continuing education credit.
