HSVMA Presents - for HSVMA Members (membership free for DVM Students): 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.
