DALLAS, Texas (November 4, 2020) - The Dallas/Fort Worth Humane Society (DFWHS) today announced that they have been awarded a $2,500 donation from Virbac Corporation’s The Every Pet Project, right in time for National Animal Shelter & Rescue Appreciation Week.

The National Animal Shelter & Rescue Appreciation Week was created in 1996 and takes place the first week of November. This week was set aside to help encourage people to learn more about their local shelters, what they are doing to help animals, and how they can help also!

National Veterinary Technician Week is October 11-17, 2020. At Virbac, veterinary technicians are crucial partners to our business. They provide compassionate, high quality care to animals in their practices to make sure that pets and pet owners thrive.

We want to say thank you to all the veterinary technicians! We value the work you do, and are grateful to be your partner in animal health.

This week we’re going to highlight some of our veterinary technicians that mean the world to us.

Welcome to the dog days of summer! The dog days refer to the hottest time during the summer spanning from early July into August and coincide with the rising of the Dog Star, Sirius.  Sirius is the brightest star in the Canis Major (meaning “Greater Dog”) constellation.
