This training is being provided for the Baltimore Region first, thanks to the Baltimore County Animal Response Team. While the normal fee is $85 per person, the costs have been brought down to $30 per person due to a grant secured by the Baltimore County Animal Response Team. This training is geared towards animal control, health department, emergency management, other local government officials, interested volunteers, etc.
This is really a great training opportunity so please sign up!
