Description
The veterinary industry is facing a crisis in mental wellbeing with burnout, compassion fatigue and alarming high suicide rates. For Jamie and Bryan Adams, this status quo was not acceptable. They started Shiner’s Pizza Salute as a way “to celebrate the amazing veterinary professionals who care for our pets (and yours!) like their own....” Join us for this emotional celebration of “the best good boy there ever was - Shiner - a rescued blue weimaraner” and how he inspired a national effort to recognize the work of dedicated, caring and amazing veterinary professionals. Be forewarned, you will definitely want to have tissues readily available.
