Support amending 18VAC150-20-120(2) to require documentation of active practice to one year
 
The veterinarian shortage has placed our local Humane Society in great difficulty.The Franklin County Humane Society battles day after day to reduce the pet overpopulation issue. Without the help of a veterinarian the number of unwanted pet pregnancies will continue to increase. I’m asking/pleading that you consider amending 18VAC150-20(2) to require documentation of active practice from two years to one of the last four years prior to application. Thank you!
