Some animals are at risk during the COVID-19 outbreak
As thousands are laid off during the COVID-19 outbreak and households struggle to pay for essential needs, many animals are in danger of suffering. During times of economic hardship, pet owners are often forced to surrender their beloved companions when their financial distress exceeds their ability to afford the cost of caring for them. The public health crisis taking place right now will have a ripple effect on animals in need due to increased poverty now and in the months and years ahead.
Shelters and rescue groups then struggle to absorb the influx of animals entering their facilities and overcome staffing shortages. Animal facilities need well trained veterinary assistants and veterinary technicians more than ever. If you like working with animals, choosing a career as a veterinary assistant or veterinary technician could help organizations respond and address pandemic’s impact on animals.
There are so many animals out there that need care during the COVID-19 outbreak. Animal lovers in the Milwaukee community remain committed to ensuring the animals have no gap in care. Animal care facilities need trained individuals who are able to administer life-saving antibiotics, pain relief, and other treatments. Healing an animal can be one of the best feelings in the world.
