Welcome
The Association of Shelter Veterinarians was originally founded as a grass roots group of several dozen shelter veterinarians looking for a means to network. We have now grown into a formal organization consisting of over 750 member veterinarians and 22 student chapters from all around the globe.

We encourage participation from full time shelter veterinarians as well as veterinarians working in the shelter environment on any level. Our goal is to advance the practice of shelter medicine and be a resource for dissemination of information and support of ongoing study of veterinary medicine in a shelter environment.

We are always interested in new members and new contributions to our effort. Thank you for your support!
