Many people look at pets as another chore, when they are actually very good at being a best friend, confidante that understands all of life’s problems, and the best motivation in keeping healthy. Pets can also keep children active, promote responsibility, and help with socialization problems that are becoming more prominent in today’s society. With a pet adoption a person gains more than just an animal, the community at large is also helped by opening another kennel in the animal shelter for another loving animal. Becoming active in the community is just that simple, but there are other ways to promote animal welfare and overpopulation that affects so many areas of the world. Research has shown that adopting a pet is a great way to improve mental and physical health, promote family values, and become active in the community by rescuing an unwanted or stray animal.
Leadership can be understood through the exploration of power, influence, and leadership style in the workplace (Colquitt Lepine, & Wesson, 2011). As with any small business or large corporation, a veterinary practice requires strong leaders to flourish. Unfortunately, many practices lack such a leader, including my own, in which one self-proclaimed leader often shows ineffective leadership behavior. As the newly appointed hospital manager, I hope to collaborate with this employee to help her become a better leader. I feel that with open communication and cooperation, her many years of experience in the field and my education can intertwine to develop an efficient, well-managed team and practice.

The Importance of Therapeutic Animals Why You Should Volunteer Your Pet Jennie Sides English Comp II Joan Snyder November 25, 2012 Many people are unfamiliar with the concept of Animal Assisted Therapy. Animal Assisted Therapy is defined by The American Humane Society (2012) as “a goal-directed intervention in which an animal is incorporated as an integral part of the clinical health-care treatment process. AAT is delivered or directed by a professional health or human service provider who demonstrates skill and expertise regarding the clinical applications of human-animal interactions”(p. 1). Therapy animals are helpful in many ways, but the most wide spread use of therapy animals is to help people get over depression, anxiety, and boost their morale, overcoming these symptoms can in turn help a person’s body to heal itself as well as fight infection as well as diseases. There have been studies that show that when a person is with a therapy animal for even 20 minutes, their levels of oxytocin (the same chemical released that causes a feeling of love in a person) is increased.

Weather the animal’s purpose is companionship or work, it still deserves to be treated in the most humane way possible.

The freedom to the people is a nice idea but it comes along with more ethical disputes. The veterinarian informs the owner of which decision would best in the situation at hand, but the owner does not necessarily have to choose that option.
