Tara,
I am sorry that you re experiencing this. Are there any vet schools that you may be able to reach out to for help near you? Have you posted any social media ads looking for help? Do you think that this particular vet prefers large animal or over shelter animals? Have you spoken to this vet about your concerns at all? I know that in this day and time vets are hard to find and I am sure that you do not want to upset anyone but it may be worth a conversation. Are there any GP vets that may be willing to help the cause? I truly hope that you can find a vet that can help with your shelter medicine program.

We are a rural city shelter that is struggling to get a vet to come to the shelter and/or be able to fit us in when we have an emergency case. We have a local vet that does our inspection & stuff needed for licensing but for a regular "shelter vet" we are struggling. We have large farms/ranches in the area that he helps with their livestock and honestly that seems to be his priority over shelter medicine. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas to get a vet to help in a rural area?
