New Baltimore Students Visit A No-Kill Shelter

Ross Medical Education Center Veterinary Assistant students washing dogs and cagesThis November, the students from Veterinary Assistant program at the New Baltimore campus received the opportunity to visit the Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan located in Madison Heights. This shelter, founded in 1982, is a “No Kill” shelter. A “No Kill” shelter is an animal shelter that does not euthanize animals who can be adopted or when the shelter is full, reserving euthanasia for animals who are terminally ill or considered dangerous.

Their mission is to find homes for as many adoptable animals as humanly possible. To educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering to help control the pet population. To put an end to the needless and senseless killing by shelters of healthy adoptable puppies, dogs, kittens and cats. This shelter adopts out healthy dogs and cats. They also offer a food pantry to pet owners who can no longer afford to feed their pets. They offer various low cost spay & neuter programs throughout the year. They even offer dog training at the facility.Ross Medical Education Center Veterinary Assistant student Alexis becoming familiar with cats

This shelter was the perfect place for the Veterinary Assistant students to get some hands-on experience. While there, they pitched in by washing pets and cleaning cages and floors. The students were also able to learn more about how a “No-Kill” shelter operates.

The students at Ross Medical Education Center in New Baltimore were very thankful to have the opportunity to work with this great organization. To learn more about the Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan visit their website or Facebook Page.
