Richard and Donna Hassard have been invaluable supporters of UPEI’s Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) and its Veterinary Teaching Hospital for nearly 15 years. In that time they have made leadership gifts, worked as volunteers for many AVC efforts, and continue to be advocates for the College and its students. Richard and Donna are lovers of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and over the years their dogs have participated in various activities at the AVC annual open house and vet camps. Their Cavaliers have also been invaluable as teaching dogs for the College’s vet students.
