Contribute to Donkey Welfare in Tanzania
World 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 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.

With super storm Sandy passing through regions of the US and Canada,it is a great reminder of the danger that weather and disasters pose to not only humans and property, but to our furry friends. We encourage those living in disaster prone areas to consider our technical animal rescue course as a preparatory measure they 
can take in order to help animals in their community during such events. No previous experience is required.
This past week World Vets conducted a spay neuter campaign in Cusco, Peru that was sponsored by Fondation Brigitte Bardot. We thank Fondation Brigitte Bardot for their continual support of our efforts, along with our dedicated team members and local partners; Pataz Pro Animalista Cusco, Yanapana Peru, Lazzy Veterinary Clinic as well as the local veterinarians that took part. Seguimos adelante por el bien estar de animal!
World Vets recently had an all female team that traveled to Zanzibar, Tanzania. Working with Zanzibar Animals Affection Society (ZAASO) they provided a 3 day island – wide spay neuter campaign. Services were provided outside of Stone Town, to the north in Nungwi and in the eastern town of Paje. They even squeezed in some time to treat donkeys! We’d like to thank these wonder women, ZAASO and Fondation Brigitte Bardot for making this campaign possible.

As part of our International Veterinary Medicine (IVM) Program based in Nicaragua, we have a unique opportunity for veterinarians. The IVM Program provides veterinary skills training as well as practice to veterinary, pre veterinary as well as veterinary technology students.The goal of this program is to teach students skills that are clinically relevant and to allow them to perform as many hands-on tasks as possible without compromising patient comfort or care.
g on this program provide the instruction and are encouraged to teach students their technique. This way vets are not only confident in what they are teaching but it also allows for students to be exposed to several different approaches. Volunteer instructor positions are also open to licensed veterinary technicians. If you enjoy teaching and/or mentoring others, this is an ideal volunteer opportunity for you!
