This year I am participating in 9th Annual OTS Dog Jog to help raise money for the OVC Pet Trust. This non-competitive run/walk held at the University of Guelph will help OVC Pet Trust in their mission to help the pets we love-live longer, healtier lives. 

As you may be aware, support from events like the OTS Dog Jog has led to major improvements in anesthesia and pain control, heart treatment and monitoring techniques, protecting pets and people from infections, advancing cancer diagnosis and treatment, understanding the human-animal bond, and much more.

My own graduate research project was in part funded by the OVC Pet Trust grant, looking at how we can use advances in DNA analysis techology to boost the way we test for canine lymphoma molecularly. While our project has been completed, there are many more that are underway! The critical work done with Pet Trust funding could not be completed without your support.

 

Thank you in advance for your consideration and support!
