Did you know that Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control is offering an exciting opportunity for our High School Kids?
We know it's short notice, but if you have a high-school aged child that is interested in becoming a veterinarian, RVT, or has interest in the animal field, check this out! 👀
Spots can fill up fast!
Do you know a high schooler who is interested in becoming a Veterinarian or Veterinary Technician? We have a wonderful opportunity for them to earn experience in an animal shelter setting. We still have open spots for Monday, January 6!
Time: Either choose session 1: 8:30 - 10:30 am OR session 2: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Where: 3020 Hillegas Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46808
Who: People in grades 9-12
What: Participants will enjoy a snack, watch a spay/neuter surgery video first before viewing a real one, participate in a question/answer session, tour our shelter and end in our triage/OR area to meet our Veterinarian and Vet Techs. Participants can opt out of viewing the surgeries but are encouraged to learn about how the animals are prepped for surgery and ask any questions they may have about schooling, experience, etc.
Price: $40 donation to our Humane Education Dept.
Disclaimer: Students will be watching real surgeries on animals. This includes seeing blood, organs, and needles/sharp tools. If you know this makes them uneasy, please reconsider registering for this session.
