Without access to spay and neuter surgeries required before adoption, animals often remain in shelters longer. To help address this problem, the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Medical Center has launched a new mobile veterinary surgical unit that brings care directly to animal shelters and welfare organizations across the state.

The 32-foot mobile clinic functions as a fully operational veterinary hospital on wheels, equipped with two surgical tables, advanced anesthesia monitoring equipment, climate-controlled recovery space and onboard power generation. The unit is designed to deliver high-quality surgical care to shelters while creating new opportunities for veterinary and veterinary nursing students to gain hands-on clinical experience.

Stay safe out there! 🐾❄️🥶🐾

Winter has us shivering in our boots (and booties), so how cold is too cold when walking our dogs? It can vary by size. 🐾❄

Meet Chase, a very good boy and the newest member of MSU's comfort canine team.

Working alongside MSU Police and Public Safety Detective Sydnee Zienta, Chase supports Spartans, providing comfort and compassion to those navigating challenges such as medical leaves, conduct processes or personal distress.

“A student was deciding whether to go to Counseling and Psychiatric Services,” says Zienta. “With Chase’s help, she decided to go. We walked her there, stayed as she filled out her paperwork, and she later requested to see Chase a few more times. It left a lasting impression on her — and on us.”

Maple is part of the team at MSU’s Pollinator Performance Center doing critical pollinator research and education. A retired police K-9, she uses her super sense of smell to detect bacteria in bee colonies to help prevent disease from spreading.

Currently, beekeepers must manually inspect colonies for disease, but dogs like Maple can identify disease much faster, which could make a big impact on the industry.

This project is one of many occurring at the Pollinator Performance Center. Operating since 2021, the center allows MSU to be at the forefront of honeybee and other pollinator research.
