Middleburg Humane Foundation Volunteer Opportunity
I would like to pass on information about volunteering with the Middleburg Humane Foundation to pre-veterinary students at George Mason University. We are a 501(c)3 private animal welfare facility with a full service veterinary clinic and we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help our organization carry out our mission. We have numerous potential opportunities for pre-vet students depending on their interest and availability, but what we’re specifically targeting is help in the veterinary clinic.
The clinic performs all of the spay/neuter surgery for the dogs, cats and rabbits that come through MHF, as well as assisting numerous other non-profits in our area to meet the surgical and medical needs of their animals. We also perform dentistry, soft tissue procedures and some orthopedic procedures as necessary to improve the health and wellbeing of the animals. We are looking for students to help with clinic operations, which would include assisting with patient preparation, learning basic anesthesia monitoring, aiding in recovery, proper cleaning and sterilization of surgical tools, disinfection protocols, standard vaccination protocols and other aspects of high volume veterinary care. This would be a valuable and unique experience that would help these students applying to veterinary school and it is extremely rewarding work. We aim to take more of an educational focus in our work and have hosted DVM candidates from Virginia Tech, interns from the nearby specialty hospitals, LVT students from NVCC and Penn Foster and we would love the chance to work with GMU students considering a career in this field.
If you could please pass on my contact information and direct students to the volunteer section of our website at https://www.middleburghumane.org/volunteer, I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you,
