This week AWLA has the pleasure of hosting Richard Ssuna—our Humane Society International Veterinarian intern from Malawi, Africa. At home Dr. Ssuna is the project manager for Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals and still maintains his veterinary consultancy duties at the Wildlife Center. Ssuna runs various programs including education, free spay/neuter, rescue and rehoming progam, as well as veterinary clinics. This week Ssuna has learned about our shelter operations and observed surgery with our shelter veterinarian, Dr. Christine Cottey. Shelter staff have had the fortunate opportunity to receive some insight into animal welfare in Malawi.
