 Fargo, ND (August 30, 2012) – World Vets is pleased to announce that veterinarian Jessica Vogelsang will be joining the organization as media spokesperson. Dr. Vogelsang will serve as the contact person for media regarding World Vets’ international veterinary aid work, disaster response, and their mission to support the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems worldwide.

Dr. Vogelsang joins World Vets with ten years’ experience as a veterinarian, and four years of authorship and social media expertise, most recently as director of Pawcurious Media. She also has extensive experience as an international veterinary volunteer on three continents.

“I am thrilled to have this opportunity to spread awareness about the amazing work World Vets is doing on six continents,” says Dr. Vogelsang. “I saw it firsthand in Tanzania and Nicaragua.

Meet Flaco & His Happily Ever After

Flaco was just your ordinary street dog. His name says it all, Flaco, which is skinny in Spanish. When our veterinary volunteers found him, he was covered in mange and had several open sores with a large abscess. What’s more, he was full of intestinal parasites and had a ruptured ligament in his knee.

Fortunately for Flaco, he was nursed back to health by one of our teams during the International Veterinary Medicine Program operated in Nicaragua this summer. One of our veterinary volunteers, Jessica Harrison, even went a step further and gave him a new home and a new life with her in Florida.
