Mars Ambassador Program: Associate Spotlight ??? In September, Alexis Ozanich, Banfield Shift Lead in Spartanburg, South Carolina, had the opportunity to travel to India to partner with Humane Society International India for their mobile animal clinic. She spent two weeks in Huballi-Dharwad assisting with mobile animal calls, a first aid training, and a vaccination camp. She shared, "The team at Humane Society International: India in Dharwad was amazing. Working with the team reminded me why I went into veterinary medicine to begin with - a love and passion for helping animals. This experience and these individuals will have a lasting impact on me." ?? Thank you, Alexis, for sharing your story!
