Too often, tail docking, declawing, ear cropping and more go unnoticed. They are simply part of "what is". NPAWS and, hopefully, you will end that. The first phase of the movement involves recognizing, applauding and certifying America's veterinarians who do not perform non-therapeutic invasive pet procedures. We will share their choice with the public on our website and in other ways to enable like-minded clients to easily find them.

At the same time, it will help you gain valuable skills in a vital role plus you can earn volunteer experience you can put towards a future career or education. Its a win win for you and NPAWS.
