ANIMAL CARE CLINIC PROJECT
We have a building allocated for the animal clinic facility at the sanctuary with basic equipment and supplies but need a few items before it can be fully functional.
Opening an animal care facility requires careful planning and consideration of several key factors. We have a building allocated for the animal clinic facility at the sanctuary with basic equipment and supplies but need a few items before it can be fully functional. This is also an ongoing project and we will need help to maintain and replace products. Although we do not have a resident vet, we still need a place to do routine health checks and emergency operations. This clinic will not be used commercially and will only be used for our animals inside the sanctuary.
Project Goals:
-
Provide a suitable space for veterinarians to work on animals who need medical assistance
-
Create a work space for staff members to perform various tasks related to animal care
