Students in Georgian’s Veterinary Technician program worked hard last Christmas to meet the needs of several animal shelters.

Each year, the students spend countless hours organizing bake sales and other events for animal shelters and rescue organizations that partner with the Veterinary Technician program.

Last year, the students raised more than $800 from their fundraising events.

Thanks to their hard work, and the generous support of the College community, they also collected a large assortment of cat and dog food, disinfectant supplies, Canadian Tire money, cat litter, toys, treats and more.

The money and supplies are greatly needed for local animal shelters and rescue organizations to care for the animals in their care. They rely strictly on donations from the public until the animals can be placed into permanent homes.
