Invitation to U.S. Senator Ensign Senator John Ensign of Nevada, the only veterinarian in the US Senate, was recently honored by the Humane Society of the US as their Humane Legislator of the Year. He authored the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act and the Virgie S. Arden Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. Though he currently is not practicing, we have invited him to join Lucky Star as a honorary member. We will let you know his response!

If there is a veterinarian that you would like to tell about Lucky Star, you’ll find a helpful “Tell a Vet” flyer on our website. Just scroll to the very end of the Pledges page to find it and print. Copies also available by mail on request. Thank you for helping our recruitment efforts. It never hurts to ask!
