Contribute to Donkey Welfare in Tanzania

kahama15World Vets operates a Donkey Welfare Project in partnership with the Arusha Society for the Protection of Animals in Arusha, Tanzania. In 2013, two World Vets teams will be providing free veterinary care and treatments to donkeys in the area. One of the major health issues we see are wounds around the neck and head as a result of the ropes that are used to guide them. For our upcoming visits, we would very much like to provide halters and leads to be donated to local donkey owners.

If you wish to contribute to the welfare of donkeys in Arusha, please consider donating halters and/or leads. The halter and leads that we are looking to acquire can be found on World Vets Amazon Wishlist HERE

Another Successful Campaign in Ecuador

Another World Vets team has return from yet another successful campaign in Ecuador. Working into the night for 3 days straight, our dedicated volunteers and local partners, PAE Ibarra, provided over 200 spay/neuter surgeries. All of our services are provided at no cost and target street and community owned animals as well as those living in low income households who can’t afford veterinary care for their animals. We thank Fondation Brigitte Bardot for the continued support of our efforts in Ecuador.

Animal Disaster Relief: Hurricane Sandy

Though a grant from  Abbott  and donations from the Vetericyn company, World Vets donated $20,000 worth of veterinary supplies to the Hurricane Sandy disaster relief effort. This has directly benefited clinics in affected areas and will help local veterinarians in the treatment of animals impacted by the super storm.

To further aid animals in areas hit by Hurricane Sandy, we also partnered with P&G Pet Care, who donated more than 88 tons of pet food to the effort. We helped facilitate the donated pet food for shelters in the hardest hit areas such as Atlantic City, NJ. P&G Pet Care are the makers of  IAMS, Eukanuba, and  Natura pet food brands.
