Performing Animals Welfare Society (PAWS) - FULL
PAWS, located in San Andreas, California, has a total of (5) five known cases. PEIVDF has filled all rescue operation worker positions for PAWS. Thank you all for your interest and support.
For each rescue operation, PEIVDF needs to ensure we are balancing the needs of the animals with the need to educate the next generation of skilled, qualified exotic veterinary dentists. Currently, PEIVDF is working to educate the next generation of teachers, which at this stage in our development, represents candidates with significant experience and education in veterinary dentistry, who need to hone their skills working on the many exotic species we encounter in our work.
As the financial and teaching resources of the charity expand, so too will the pool of workers from which we draw for subsequent rescue operations. In the interim, you can help by donating to the charity to enable us to continue to fund more and more rescue operations to the many facilities that can benefit from our services.
To apply to attend the PAWS rescue operation, download the VDWoB Worker Questionnaire form. If you have already submitted your completed form to us, please email us at rescueops@peteremilyfoundation.org. We'll notify you if your qualifications meet the current needs of the rescue operation.
UPCOMING RESCUE OPERATIONS
