The Maine State
Society for the Protection of Animals announced that at the most recent meeting
of its governing body, David A. Jefferson, DVM was elected to a three year term
as a director of the non-profit horse shelter. A 1969 graduate of Cornell
University’s School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Jefferson brings a remarkable,
unique combination of skills, experience, and interest to the organization. Meris
J. Bickford, CEO of the organization enthusiastically acknowledged Dr.
Jefferson’s long standing friendship with the society, its horses, and its president
Marilyn Goodreau. Bickford also praised Goodreau and the other directors of the
organization for their support in advancing the society’s life-saving work for
abused, neglected equines.
Society president
Marilyn Goodreau said, “I have the greatest respect for David Jefferson. His
intellect and curiosity combined with a superior education produced a fine
veterinarian whose equine patients have always received the highest level of
care possible. My friendship with David dates back to the 1970s when my partner
Lawrence Keddy acquired the farm and we began operation as an animal shelter. Dr.
Jefferson treated many of the horses at the farm in those early days.”
The Maine State
Society for the Protection of Animals is New England’s premiere horse shelter. The
abused or neglected horses receiving care there are available for adoption
following their rehabilitation. The society welcomes public visitors each afternoon
throughout the year. The MSSPA maintains a robust volunteer corps and by
invitation works with area schools to provide humane education. To learn more
