Msu-Cvm Humane Ethics & Animal Welfare The Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine has developed a program to support education in the care and treatment of animals.

Shelter Medicine Education
The Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine has an elective Shelter Medicine rotation that provides veterinary students with experience in shelter medicine, spay/neuter, and humane education. The program seeks to further educate the next generation of veterinarians to care for shelter animals and to solve the problem of overpopulation of unwanted pets. During the two week rotation, students spay and neuter shelter animals under the supervision of faculty. The surgical experience this program provides is unparalleled and instills a spirit of lifelong learning and community service. Animal Care, Animal Welfare Education
Because education is the most critical component to solving the unwanted pet overpopulation issue, the Humane Ethics and Animal Welfare Program supports initiatives for school children on proper care of pets, for the public on responsible pet ownership, and for pet owners on the health and benefits and need for spay and neuter.

MSU CVM has a nationally recognized shelter medicine program that works with more than 25 shelters in north Mississippi providing spay and neuter services and rendering advice on population medicine. This enables our students, under faculty supervision, to perform 6,000-8,000 surgeries each year, which benefits the dogs and cats making them more adoptable and provides unparalleled surgery experience for our students. The typical MSU CVM student will have spayed or neutered nearly 60 dogs and cats by the time of graduation.

Since 2007, students have spayed/neutered over 93,000 dogs and cats. Our students graduate understanding the reality of pet overpopulation and having the knowledge and skills to assist shelters and humane groups in their communities.

I just don’t get it. A friend sent me this article and it made me cry. The cost of the puppy mill dog at $4,700 could save 40 dogs in the shelter. Forty dogs for the price of one designer puppy!! Please educate yourself and understand that dogs in shelters are amazing. Not only do you get a wonderful life-long friend that needed saving, but you pay a small adoption fee. Shelter dogs come vaccinated and spayed or neutered. This article from the New York Post makes me sick as the writer never even mentions shelter dogs or rescuing as an option. It goes to show that so many people need to be educated on the pets in shelters/rescues. These people also need to understand where these high price tag dogs come from. Do your homework and look up puppy mill dogs before you pay for that designer dog in the window. Would you rather save a life or support cruelty? I thought you loved dogs?? Please SHARE. I am trying so hard to help educate but I need you to share this message and ask people to follow me. I will show them the many faces of shelter dogs. I promise not to disappoint. ❤️
