A True Island Effort: Colombian Military working alongside World Vets
For the last few years World Vets has been partnering with the Department of Health on San Andres Island to help control the small animal population through spay/neuter.
During these campaigns, we are also joined by members of the Colombian military who assist our teams in transporting dogs, providing crowd control and other tasks involved with the clinic.
We just recently completed a large scale spay/neuter and animal health campaign which resulted in close to 200 surgeries being performed.
We’d like to thank all of our local partners for a true island effort as well as our volunteers and Fondation Brigitte Bardot who help make this project possible.
We have another campaign scheduled in San Andres Island December 1 – 8, 2014. Volunteer opportunities on this project coming soon!
A World Vets team has just returned from San Andres Island.They operated our very first veterinary campaign on the Caribbean island. It was a great success. Their visit was also the very first of its kind. Never before had the island hosted such a large scale sterilization campaign that was executed by a foreign veterinary team.
ven received support from the Colombian military stationed on the island. They brought us dogs from the local army base to receive surgery and treatment.
