Meet Flaco & His Happily Ever After

Flaco was just your ordinary street dog. His name says it all, Flaco, which is skinny in Spanish. When our veterinary volunteers found him, he was covered in mange and had several open sores with a large abscess. What’s more, he was full of intestinal parasites and had a ruptured ligament in his knee.

Fortunately for Flaco, he was nursed back to health by one of our teams during the International Veterinary Medicine Program operated in Nicaragua this summer. One of our veterinary volunteers, Jessica Harrison, even went a step further and gave him a new home and a new life with her in Florida.
