The mission of SAS is to make a positive impact on our local community and the lives of animals in need. Our primary goal is to fundraise for local animal shelters, ensuring they have the resources necessary to provide proper care and support. In addition to fundraising, we will actively encourage our members with opportunities for hands-on volunteer work at these shelters, allowing students to directly contribute to the welfare of the animals. We will also take on the essential role of advertising shelter animals looking for loving homes, spreading awareness through various platforms to increase adoption rates. We will also collaborate with the Veterinary School’s Shelter Medicine club to connect undergraduates with current vet students interested in shelter medicine. Furthermore, our club serves as a valuable hub to connect students with opportunities in the realm of animal care and shelter medicine. Through our collective efforts, we aim to be a driving force of compassion and positive change for both the students involved, the community, and the animals we support.
