In the United States and Canada there are 28 AVMA-accredited schools of veterinary medicine that you can attend to be trained in veterinary medicine. Outside of the US and Canada, most countries have one or more veterinary colleges that train veterinarians within their country.
In North America you would attend an accredited College of Veterinary Medicine; there are 28 in the United States, another 5 in Canada, several in Mexico and two in the Carribean. In addition, there are very good veterinary colleges in most countries around the world.
You have to go to a veterinary school to be a veterinarian. You must attend 4 years of college and then apply to vet school. Vet schools are difficult to get in and are almost more difficult than medical schools for people doctors. There are not as many vet schools in the country as well. Vet schools are generally 4-5 years in length after college and often have a residency attached that may be an additional length of time.
There are two potential answers to this, depending upon what exactly you mean by the question.
If you are asking what colleges will accept a veterinarian as a student, the answer is practically all of them - veterinarians who choose to go back to college for additional training will find many colleges are happy to accept them.
If you are asking what colleges will accept a student to give them veterinary medicine training, the answer is very few - in the United States there are only 28 colleges of veterinary medicine with less than 2,000 seats total.

Veterenian schools accept any colleges degree. There are prerequisite courses that must be completed as part of your degree program before applying to veterinarian schools.

Yes, and the transfer works in all directions. Veterinary colleges around the world recognize the accreditation of foreign veterinary colleges and most countries have formalized paths for graduates of foreign veterinary colleges to enter the country and practice veterinary medicine. In addition, service with a country's military often allows a veterinarian to practice medicine around the world.
One great college is Carroll College in Helena. It is a hard school to get into. If you want to go there, work hard.
A veteran is a former member of the U.S. armed forces. I believe your question is intended to inquire about the education necessary to become a veterinarian (an animal doctor). Many colleges and universities include veterinary school, and you would need to earn a doctorate to be a veterinarian. You could go to a local veterinarian's office and discuss it with him/her for a more complete answer.
The best way to find these colleges is to go there and take a tour, see if it's something you want to do or go to. You can also look at towns you'd want to live in and see if there are any colleges.
I assume you are asking what college you go to to be able to work with the ASPCA? I'm sure you could go to just about any college. It just depends what you want to do with the ASPCA. For example, you may want to be on the business side. Any college with a good business program would be good. You just need to think about what you want to do and look into colleges have offer programs for it. Good luck!
