Hello All!
With 2010 coming to a close, we have much to be proud of and to look forward to in the new year.
This holiday season we encourage you to be creative in your gift giving and to think about World Vets and the great relief we provide to animals worldwide. We would also like to challenge everyone to make their new years resolution be to join a World Vets trip in 2011!
Whether you are a World Vets addict or have not been on a trip yet, we expect to operate between 40 - 45 international projects next year, all needing volunteers. These trips will take volunteers to some new locations and provide a diverse selection of veterinary assistance.

This fall, World Vets volunteers; Dr. Mike Corcoran and Dr. Colleen McCoy conducted a pilot project in Tanzania. They provided veterinary assistance to donkeys and administered rabies vaccinations to street dogs. It was a very successful two weeks that has helped determine two separate projects that World Vets will pursue next year. 
World Vets had two teams in Loreto Mexico this fall; one provided veterinary services in town to the small animal population and another ventured out to visit rural ranches and brought veterinary care to horses, donkeys, goats, pigs and even a few lucky chihuahuas!
A team of World Vets volunteers have just returned from Granada Nicaragua. They provided a large scale sterilization clinic as well as cared for the working horses of the city. Over 300 animals received treatment!
