Dr. Brenda Griffin received a bachelor of science degree from the University of South Carolina in biology and a doctor of veterinary medicine degree from the University of Georgia in 1990. She interned at the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, where she also served as a shelter veterinarian for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA) shelter. Dr. Griffin received an award from the MSPCA for her efforts in establishing a shelter medicine rotation for veterinary interns at the Boston shelter in 1993. After four years in private practice, she enrolled in a clinical residency in small animal medicine in combination with a master's degree program at Auburn University, where she focused her studies on feline reproduction and welfare. In 2000, she became board certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. Dr. Griffin is currently an assistant research professor at the Scott-Ritchey Research Center at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Auburn University, where she directs the reproductive endocrinology laboratory, serves as a co-investigator in the immunocontraceptive project for pet population control, studies feral cats, and mentors veterinary student fellows in projects involving non-lethal strategies for pet population control. In addition, Dr. Griffin teaches elective classes to veterinary students including, "The Human Animal Bond and Animal Welfare issues" and "The Veterinarian's Role in Pet Retention." Dr. Griffin volunteers and directs the Center's Shelter Medicine Program and Operation Cat Nap (Auburn University's feral cat trap-neuter-return program), and is the faculty advisor for SCAVMA's Animal Welfare Action Committee and the Pre-Veterinary Medical Association. Most recently, as a member of the Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs core organizing committee, Dr. Griffin helped to organize the first International Symposium on Non-Surgical Methods for Pet Population Control. |
