Over 600 dogs and cats received free veterinary care in Ecuador last week! Volunteers from World Vets and Lakefield Veterinary Group teamed up to provide 322 sterilization surgeries in the town of Ibarra over a three-day period. Volunteers also offered health checkups, flea and tick prevention, deworming, and loving care for over 300 animals during a community outreach clinic in Otavalo.
World Vets is honored to collaborate with Lakefield Veterinary Group and our amazing affiliate of over 15 years, BAI – Fundación Bienestar Animal Imbabura. Thanks to the generosity and support of our partners, donors, and volunteers, we are able to benefit thousands of animals in need around the world.
Last week, World Vets wrapped up another successful spay/neuter campaign in Guatemala, in an ongoing effort to improve animal welfare in the region. In partnership with Antigua Street Dogs – Guatemala, our dedicated volunteer veterinary team carried out an impressive 337 sterilization surgeries. Many surgeries were also performed on local street dogs through the support of Municipalidad de Jocotenango.
World Vets recently completed another successful campaign in San Cristóbal, Galápagos, providing 140 animals with much-needed free veterinary care. The World Vets team performed 95 sterilizations, 42 medical consults, and several critical surgeries, ensuring better health and well-being for the island’s pets. Additionally, several stray cats were trapped and sterilized to help control overpopulation and safeguard the island’s wildlife.
World Vets remains committed to the health and well-being of the dogs and cats of San Cristobal Island by providing ongoing veterinary care to the community. Since opening its small animal clinic in 2021, the organization has treated over 5,000 pets free of charge, including 1,500 patients last year alone.
