Project Midnight

Midnight is the service dog and companion of Ms. Miller, a local citizen greatly in need of our help. Ms. Miller struggles with cerebral palsy, a neurological disease affecting her lifestyle. She has limited communication skills and mobility. Due to her condition, she is unable to provide Midnight (a black lab) with the exercise and play-time every dog deserves.

Project Midnight requires two people to walk Midnight daily. The shifts are from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. during the summer and involve taking Midnight in Ms. Miller's truck to Research Park in College Station. Midnight is walked for 30 to 45 minutes and given a bath twice a week (Mondays and Fridays) to keep his coat in top condition.

This project requires a daily commitment for a week. If you would like to help, please understand the importance of your participation and respect her requested schedule.

A week-long commitment to Project Midnight will earn you 20 hours of community service (with points being doubled for summer). This completely fulfills your service requirements for membership for the entire semester. These hours of community service can also be used when applying to veterinary school.

If you would like to help with this very important project, please sign up at the next meeting, in the cube, or contact Crystal at vptamuprevet@gmail.com to coordinate which week you would like to participate.
