Why the Donations to the Pet Drive
As part of our Embracing Community commitment, our classes are available with a small donation fee which will be donated at the end of the year to a private 501(3) (c) non-profit pet rescue to assist with their veterinary bills. Typically, vets provide these rescues with a 10% discount off their fees and the balance of the vets’ bills are paid by the rescue.
Normally, each pet received into a rescue is provided:
· updated vaccinations;
· physical exam;
· flea/tick/heartworm meds; and
· a dental cleaning.
The rescue’s adoption fees barely cover the expenses. To top that off, many pets come in with other medical issues that dramatically increase – sometimes into the thousands of dollars – the vet’s fees. For this reason, all fees associated with our educational programs are donated to a private non-profit rescue at the end of the year.
As always, our valued active clients receive these classes on a complimentary basis as a perk for being a client. However, if our clients would like to make a voluntarily donation of any size – we will pay it forward with a special reward (see below).
Each month, we will enter the name of all the people who took one or more of our On Demand classes for a monthly drawing to win a gift card. If our clients make a voluntary donation, their names will be entered twice! The winner will be announced in the next month’s CM Update.
Here is the donation schedule for Board Certification Classes (includes Certificate):

*Board Certification Form $10
*The Board Certification Form is available to our clients only and can be used in lieu of taking the class and/or used as a “temporary pass” to use until you can take the class.
