World Vets Honored with Animal Protection Award

Dec 18

This year World Vets was honored with the Adoptame Animal Protection Award 2015. This award was created by the Association Adoptame to distinguish the work and effort in the fight against animal abandonment in Paraguay. Four organizations were honored this year for their commitment in the mission of raising awareness, spirit of solidarity, and respect for animals in society and responsible pet ownership. Along with World Vets, the others recognized are the Zoonosis unit of Municipalidad de Asunción, Shopping Villa Morra and Purina Nestle Paraguay.

We thank the Association Adoptame for this great recognition of our work and impact in Paraguay!

Team Returns from Successful Campaign in Honduras

Dec 16

World Vets has been running spay/neuter clinics in Roatan, Honduras for the last 8 years. As part of these clinics we offer sterilization surgeries as well as medical consults and preventive treatments. In 2015 we operated two large scale veterinary campaigns where all veterinary services were provided free of charge. One of our teams just returned from a successful project on the island. See pictures from our most recent campaigns here

We’d like to thank our stellar volunteers and local coordinators for an excellent effort. We’d also like to give big thanks to Foundation Brigitte Bardot for their ongoing support of this program.

Join us on our next Roatan campaign! Read more

World Vets Aids Animals in Cambodia

Nov 23

Earlier this month World Vets had a small scout team in Cambodia to carry out a pilot project in Siem Reap. Despite a small team size and some challenges along the way, they executed quite a successful spay/neuter campaign with many animals in attendance. Way to go Team Cambodia!

We`d like to thank Wat Damnak for hosting our campaign and Fondation Brigitte Bardot for their support of this project.
