Animal Hospital of Statesville is a vital part of the Statesville/Iredell County area. Throughout the year, our employees dedicate their time to help the following community organizations and programs:
- “The Gallery” - Animal Hospital of Statesville has the pleasure of offering the opportunity for local artists to display their talents. Not only does this enable us to beautify our lobby, but it will also expose local talent to our clients, who may not know the art available to them in Iredell County.
- Our hospital staff also actively supported fund-raising efforts benefiting local non-profit organizations, as well as spearheading efforts to collect donations of items needed by those organizations.
- The holidays bring out the best in our clinic as we set up the Furry Angel Tree every Christmas to support local pet rescues.
- The Animal Hospital of Statesville is the sole care provider for the Statesville City, Troutman and Iredell County Sheriff’s Departments K-9 officers.
- Local Schools: Our veterinarians and staff will visit any of the local schools for presentations on pet wellness care and pet dentistry. We welcome local schools or child-related organizations to visit our clinic to learn more about animal care issues.
- We offer a shadow program for select school programs to come and observe our staff.
- Animal Hospital of Statesville offers internships for Gaston College students to enable them to earn their credits for graduation.
- We offer internships to students in several online Veterinary Assistants programs.
