STARKVILLE, Miss. -- The American Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals has awarded the Mississippi State University College
of Veterinary Medicine a grant to support the college’s Mobile
Veterinary Clinics.
The $20,000 grant will help offset some of the expenses incurred as
the Mobile Veterinary Clinics travel to 20 north Mississippi animal
shelters, where students spay and neuter homeless animals. The program
is funded solely by grants and donations.
“This is such an important program for our students and for our
community,” said Jimmy Kight, director of development at the veterinary
college. “This generous grant helps cover the many operational expenses
it takes to keep the program successful.” read more...
