World Vets has successfully completed another high-impact veterinary campaign in Ecuador, where our volunteer team provided 367 free spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats in Atuntaqui. Alongside sterilization services, pets also received medical consultations, flea and tick prevention, and other essential veterinary care to improve their health and well-being.
These services play a vital role in safeguarding the health and happiness of owned pets while also helping reduce suffering, neglect, and overpopulation among the local street dog and cat population. By preventing unwanted litters and providing accessible veterinary care, these campaigns create lasting benefits for both animals and the communities that care for them.
In addition to the surgical campaign, World Vets hosted a free community outreach clinic in Urcuquí, where volunteers provided health examinations, preventive care, and medical treatment for 177 pets whose families might otherwise have limited access to veterinary services.
This mission was made possible through our longstanding partnership with Foundation Bienestar Animal Imbabura (BAI) and Clínicas Veterinarias BAI, who have worked alongside World Vets for the past 17 years to improve animal welfare throughout the region. We also extend our heartfelt congratulations to BAI on the 9th anniversary of their Atuntaqui veterinary clinic—an important milestone and a testament to their continued dedication to animals and their community.
We are especially grateful to Lakefield Veterinary Group for partnering with World Vets on this Ecuador mission, helping make this campaign possible through their generous support.
Finally, thank you to every volunteer, donor, and supporter who generously contributed your time, expertise, and resources. Together, we continue to improve the lives of animals, strengthen local veterinary capacity, and build healthier, more compassionate communities throughout Ecuador.
