(L-R) CVM shelter medicine specialist Dr. Stacy Cannon and 4th year veterinary students Hannah Greene and Helen Jones perform check-ups on a litter of high-energy puppies at the Athens Area Humane Society.

In 2021, the UGA vet school and the Athens Area Humane Society partnered to run a shelter medicine program to address a nationwide shelter shortage. Since then, the Humane Society has provided more than 500 surgeries per month to animals in need.
