At the next installment of our Student Summer Lecture Series, Dr. Melissa Shapiro will present The Piglet Mindset: Inclusion and Education in Today’s Veterinary Profession on Wednesday, August 5, at 4 pm PT. (Professionals welcome, too!)

Dr. Melissa Shapiro will share her story about her dog, Piglet, who was rescued from a hoarding situation. Due to irresponsible breeding, Piglet was born blind and deaf but thrives despite his disabilities. Dr. Shapiro and Piglet educate the public about the importance of spay/neuter and encourage adoption of special needs animals. Attendees will learn about the challenges of working with profoundly disabled dogs and how to educate clients about their needs.
