HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - An animal shelter in West Virginia has hired its first medical director.
The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports Thursday that the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Shelter made the hire using a $50,000 grant from the Petco Foundation.
Shelter executive director Courtney Proctor Cross says they’ve hired veterinarian technician Emily Sowards to work as the first-ever medical director.
She will treat animals for fleas and intestinal parasites when they get to the shelter then do a wellness check on them every morning.
Cross says they’ve wanted to hire a medical director for the last nine months.
