Our Mission

Dog Shelter

We offer an early start into veterinary science by providing a unique opportunity for those interested in veterinary medicine or animal care to engage in real-world, hands-on instruction and skill-building that they might typically be too young to experience. We start with beginning fundamental skills and build on that with each level teaching progressively more difficult skills.

Our Story

With many years of veterinary experience, owner Dr. Kelly Stern has met countless kids and teens who are very interested in veterinary medicine but have limited opportunities to get involved due to their age.

 

Several years ago, she began developing a unique idea to provide the opportunity for young people to get an early start in the veterinary field. When starting anything new, there is always the temptation to wait until everything is perfect to start, but the truth is that the perfect time will likely never come. Furthermore, her life experiences have shown that kids are usually capable of more than most people give them credit for; and that you should never let fear hold you back from doing hard things. So, in 2025, she decided to launch this venture.

 

She plans to consistently add material, content, and services with ambitious future expansion plans. The goal is to offer serious instruction and hands-on practice in real veterinary skills to young animal lovers with each level of classes teaching progressively more difficult skills. If this sounds like you, come give it a try!
