Volunteer With Us: Help Increase Access to Veterinary Care in Colorado!

Update—July 29, 2024: Great news! Volunteers have collected more than 190,000 signatures to help a Veterinary Care Measure secure a spot on the November ballot. Join our volunteer team to get involved with the next phase of this campaign.

The ASPCA is continuing to recruit volunteers to help spread the word and ensure that Coloradans vote YES on the Veterinary Care Ballot Measure in November. This measure would establish a master’s degree-level veterinary professional associate (VPA) role, which is similar to a physician assistant in human healthcare. VPAs will be able to examine animals, diagnose minor conditions, perform routine surgeries and lead teams, all while under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.

A critical shortage of veterinarians is limiting the availability of appointments and driving up the cost of veterinary care. The VPA role is intended to tackle these challenges head on by absorbing some of the work that has historically been designated to licensed veterinarians.

You can make a huge difference for people and pets by helping us continue to spread awareness and build support for the Veterinary Care Ballot Measure during the next phase of this campaign.
