Event Details

Interested in helping at a shelter—or already doing it and want to compare notes?

Join us for an interactive Cross Talk on Shelter Medicine designed to spotlight what shelters need, why the work is so rewarding, and practical ways veterinarians can help.

What you’ll get

  • Real-world insight: Short panel talks from veterinarians serving as shelter vets, vets of record, volunteers, per-diem clinicians, and shelter board members.
  • Actionable ideas: Concrete ways to contribute—on-site, on-call, or from your clinic.
  • Breakout conversations: Small-group discussions to swap tips, resources, and “what works.”


Who should attend

  • Any veterinarian curious about contributing to shelter work
  • Vets already involved in shelters who want to learn, share, and connect
