Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Technician Program

A partnership with the College of Veterinary Medicine , started eight years ago, gives MSU Veterinary Technology students an opportunity to earn required experience toward their degrees and practical experience in animal examination, vaccination, pediatric anesthesia and spaying and neutering to address pet overpopulation, all in a clinic setting. This program eliminates the need to purchase teaching animals, helps shelter animals and gives students exposure to a wider variety of animals including different animal temperaments, ages, and health issues.

According to Jolynne Peeters, an instructor of Veterinary Technology with the College of Veterinary Medicine , "This is a wonderful opportunity for the College to continue its outreach mission in an organization that is part hospital, part boarding and part showplace to the community. Students learn about group housing concerns such as contagious diseases, proper pet care, behavior and how a shelter operates."

Eve's House/American Red Cross

At times when people face crises, such as domestic abuse or housing disasters, and are not able to care for their pets, we offer temporary housing for their animals. Through partnerships with Eve's House and the American Red Cross we are able to care for people and their pets while they get back on their feet.

Leader Dog for the Blind

Dogs that are surrendered to our organization need another chance to prove their value to the community. Many working breeds appreciate and thrive in an environment where they have a job to do. Leader Dog for the Blind visits our facility and chooses dogs for work with special needs people. We place both pure-breeds and mixed breeds with them.

Customs

U.S. Customs visits our shelter to assess and test adult dogs for work in various areas of the country. We have placed several dogs with U.S. Customs and know that the dogs are well-cared for, happy and fulfilling their lives working for our country.

Hope Network and Peckham

Currently, we are working with Hope Network and Peckham Vocational Center and their clients.
