FAQ
Any licensed veterinarian, in the US or international.
We are flexible and can accommodate veterinarians for a couple of hours to one week.
If a deployment arises during your time with us, you may be able to join. If so, the ASPCA will pay for all travel expenses (flight, hotel, and a daily stipend for food). Even if you do not join us in Gainesville, if you are interested in deploying with the team on future cases, please email us at avfsc@aspca.org to find out how to become a responder.
Unfortunately, at this time we do not. There are a variety of hotels and other lodging options at different price ranges in the area.
