Welcome Back Team Sosua!

SFeb1World Vets has just had a veterinary team return from Sosua, Dominican Republic. There they provided a free large scale sterilization campaign. We’d like to thank Fondation Brigitte Bardot, the entire crew of Asociacion de Amigos por los Animales Sosua (AAAS) as well as World Vets volunteers for making this a successful operative.

Unlike many field condition clinics, we had the luxury of gas anesthesia! This allowed for 189 safe spay/neuters to be provided as well as 14 additional surFeb24geries to be performed. Overall, 226 animals were seen and treated by our team.

World Vets will be sending a follow up team to Sosua in November. Stay tuned for this upcoming volunteer opportunity. All upcoming projects are listed here

2013 Project Spotlight: Ecuador

EcuN36With support from Fondation Brigitte Bardot, PAE – Ibarra and local municipalities, World Vets has been providing regular high volume spay/neuter services in Ecuador since 2009. Spanning the last four years, World Vets has sent 10 veterinary teams (about 150 volunteers) to Ecuador which has brought veterinary care to animals that would otherwise have none.  We have also secured agreements with the municipalities of both Ibarra and Otavalo. These agreements stipulate that they will not carry out poisoning campaigns in exchange for our free spay/neuter services for EcuN52 editcommunity animals. This is one of our most successful small animal projects to date.

We have an upcoming volunteer opportunity on this project. We will be sending a team to Otavalo, Ecuador in July 2013 to provide a large scale spay/neuter campaign. Read more about this opportunity here

2013 Project Spotlight: Nicaragua Equine Welfare Project

SONY DSCWith the support of  Fondation Brigitte Bardot, World Vets has been providing free equine health clinics in Granada, Nicaragua for several years. The project first began by treating the carriage horses, that serve as taxis in the city, and has expanded to include cart horses as well. Cart horses are not only used as a mode of transportation but they also haul raw materials and goods. As a result of their labor intensive days, routine veterinary care is required for both to ensure their well being. With World Vets ongoing care of the horses in and around Granada there is WorldVets Equine 1 2011now a noticeable difference in their condition for the better.

We have an upcoming volunteer opportunity on this project. We will be sending a team to Granada for our equine welfare project in May 2013. Read more about this opportunity here
