Reduction of Active Practice requirements for Licensure by endorsement for Veterinarians
 

Hello, I work for the FCHS, I am a new employee, however, I have known them for some time.  I adopted my dog from them 6 years ago. I was very impressed at that time by the cleanliness of the facility, and the caring staff. Now that I work here I am still impressed. The problem is there are animals waiting right now for Vet. care. Sick animals as well as those that need to be readied for adoption. This is hard to believe that Veterinary service is not available due to a Licensure issue. There is a great need for the service that FCHS clinics provide. the people of Franklin County used to bring their pets for treatments and vaccinations.  Stray animals find shelter and care here and homes when they are ready. I ask that you change the current policy. The people of Franklin County will have great benefits from this as well as the animals of Franklin County. Thank you.
