Animal Shelter Education Conference

April 21, 2018

About this event

Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine is hosting its first animal shelter education conference. The two-day program at the university's Wise Center is designed to benefit everyone from local veterinarians and shelter managers to staff members and community volunteers. Online registration before the April 13 deadline may be completed at www.cvm.msstate.edu. Admission is free, thanks to a $16,050 gift from PetSmart Charities of Phoenix, Arizona. A non-profit animal welfare organization, the philanthropy was founded in 1994 by the world’s largest specialty retailer of services and solutions for pets. Among conference speakers will be Dr. Philip Bushby, an MSU professor emeritus holding the CVM’s Marcia Lane Endowed Chair of Humane Ethics and Animal Welfare. He and others in the well-known shelter medicine program will cover such topics as capacity for care, facility biosecurity and behavioral enrichment for dogs and cats.
