As areas of the United States and other regions around the world contemplate and then begin the process of returning to a new normal, each shelter, clinic and rescue will need to decide when and if they are ready to return to providing some services that were affected by the pandemic.

We’ll each need to consider how we can continue to reduce resource use, workload, and the potential for human exposure while deciding which services we can contemplate beginning to offer again.

This will be an ongoing process, anticipated to continue for some time. As operations resume we’ll need to re-assess these areas routinely to make the best use of current available resources while emphasizing human and animal health and safety.

This course utilizes resources developed by a group of veterinarians and clinic experts to help guide the industry on spay/neuter and wellness clinics can begin to prepare for re-opening when the time is appropriate for this for each of us.
