Pre-Vet Club Philanthropy

Our club was founded under the principles of friendship, academic enhancement, community service, and philanthropy. Every year, the Pre-Vet members work together to raise money to donate to a chosen philanthropy.

2011-2012 Philanthropy

We voted for the philanthropy that we will support financially this year. Results have been tallied and the winner is The Georgia Equine Rescue League! This is very exciting for the Pre-Vet Club because this is the first time in four years that we are supporting a large animal organization! To find out more about this organization, visit their website at www.gerlltd.org. 

2010-2011 Philanthropy

Our philanthropy this year is Helping Paws. We raised $3520!! (The most in club history)

Pawtropolis is a doggie daycare and boarding facility located in Athens, GA. It offers a Self-service Doggie Spa, Pet Boutique, Kitty City, Grooming, Obedience and more. Profits of Pawtropolis help to support Helping Paws Rescue which is a non-profit animal rescue organization created by the owner of Pawtropolis. Dogs and cats are rescued from situations where they would otherwise be put-to-sleep if they did not step in. The animals are vetted and cared for until they are able to join the customer pets in either the Doggie Daycare or Kitty City. This means that animals adopted from Helping Paws Rescue are highly social. Helping Paws Rescue is an all-breed rescue, though you will notice that they do a lot with Dalmatian and Greyhound rescue. If you are interested in either of these breeds read their descriptions and don't hesitate to contact Helping Paws even if you don't see one listed as available.

From the 2010 Pre-Vet Club President, Brittany Paschal: "I am so excited to start another successful semester for the Pre-Vet Club. We have already raised over $2,170 for our philanthropy and I am so proud of each one of you! We have NEVER raised this much in a full year of Pre-Vet history, and we did it in just four months!"
