World Vets’ First Visit to Corozal, Belize: 300+ Surgeries Provided!

Corozal Belize March 2026 (58)World Vets completed its first small animal campaign in Corozal, Belize this week and sterilized over 300 cats and dogs! World Vets is privileged to provide veterinary care and compassion to animals in need around the world, as we help reduce overpopulation and improve the health and wellbeing of animals in communities like this one.
This effort was made possible through strong collaboration with our local partner Corozal Animal Welfare Advocates (CAWA), local vet Dr. Alfric Charles, and the generous support of our host Sheila Ford. We are also deeply grateful to our dedicated and hard-working team of World Vets volunteers, the Belize Agricultural Health Authority, the local volunteers and students who came out to help, the community members who entrusted us with their animals’ care, and the international donors and supporters who help make this work a reality. Thank you!

 

 

Year-End Vet Project in the Galápagos

Galapagos Dec 2025 (15)World Vets has been delivering free veterinary services for pets on San Cristobal Island for the last four years, with thousands of patient visits. Last week was our 18th intensive spay-and-neuter campaign in Galapagos, which provided sterilization surgeries for dogs and cats (including feral felines), health exams, dental prophylaxis, deworming, and a range of additional procedures.

Over 90% of the pet population on San Cristóbal has now been sterilized—a milestone that directly supports the long-term sustainability and protection of the islands’ unique and endangered wildlife. We greatly appreciate the support of our volunteers, donors, partners and local personnel that all helped make this possible.

We thank GAD Municipal de San Cristóbal Galápagos and Agencia de Bioseguridad para Galápagos (ABG) for their strong partnership on these campaigns.

381 Animals in Guatemala!

Guatemala Nov 2025 (3)World Vets, in partnership with Antigua Street Dogs Guatemala, provided free veterinary surgeries and medical care to hundreds of cats and dogs in and around Jocotenango and Antigua last week. By preventing thousands of unwanted litters through spay-and-neuter, we’re improving animal welfare while also strengthening community health through parasite control, disease prevention, and better care for both pets and people. This effort is part of our One Health commitment — protecting both animals and humans by reducing the spread of zoonotic diseases.

Thanks to our incredible supporters, partners, and volunteers who make this life-changing work possible. Your help is truly benefiting animals in need around the world!

Galapagos Rapid Response Video Stories

Galapagos Rapid Response Video Stories

World Vets works together with the Galapagos National Park Rapid Response Program to respond 24/7 to injured wildlife on San Cristobal Island. While most of our cases involve sea lions, World Vets and the Rapid Response Team are equipped to handle all kinds of wildlife emergencies. This yellow warbler, struck by a car, was admitted to the wildlife hospital for evaluation and safely released once it was strong enough to fly again.

World Vets carries out this work under an official agreement with the Galapagos National Park. Together, our teams respond to more than 650 wildlife emergencies each year in the Galapagos Islands. Sea lions often get caught in marine debris or fishing gear, which can become wrapped around their necks, bodies, or flippers. Below are two videos showing sea lions being freed from these entanglements, allowing them to return safely to the wild.

World Vets and the National Park recently welcomed a group of local Galapagos students to the wildlife rescue center as part of the Park’s environmental education program. During their visit, the students toured the facilities, learned about the specialized tools and equipment used to safeguard Galapagos wildlife, and even practiced simulated sea lion rescues on the beach.

Engaging the public—especially young people—in conservation fosters awareness, responsibility, and active participation in the vital mission of protecting wildlife and preserving our planet.

World Vets is grateful to the SeaWorld Conservation Fund and our other generous donors who make this important work possible.
