Wow, more feathers in more caps. Keep this up Tarpon Springs and I'll be "plucked".
On Wednesday, the Tarpon Springs High School Veterinary Academy opened their surgery suite and Veterinarian, Dr Duggers volunteered her services and neutered 2 cats and a dog. It was a great learning experience for the students. Two of the more experience students actually assisted Dr. Duggers and her Vet Tech. The three animals belonged to the Suncoast Animal League and were waiting to be placed for adoption pending their neutering. Since then, two of the three have been adopted.
This is a incredible program that teacher Deborah Edwards has poured her heart and soul in to over the years. Congratulations Ms. Edwards!
Speaking from an animals point of view, it's refreshing to know that these kids are gaining this type of knowledge and experience at this age. After all, it won't be long and they will be young adults, out on their own, making their own decisions. Decisions that will include owning a pet and then a few years after that, voting priviledges. Maybe the future for animals... has a real future.
Go Spongers!
