World Vets News
Successful Pilot Project Completed  in Suriname, South America
 
World Vets recently operated a pilot project* in Paramaribo, Suriname. Our veterinary team worked alongside local animal welfare volunteers as well as veterinarians to provide a large scale sterilization campaign. Our services benefited animals located in the 'interior' outside of the capital city where access to veterinary services are limited.

We thank Fondation Brigitte Bardot for their support of this visit as well as our local partners and volunteers for all their efforts. See pictures of our Suriname campaign here

He provided constant reminders of his presence, "hee - haw", that enticed many of us to go see him throughout the work day.  

 

As veterinary services got underway, children and grown men dressed in their Sunday's best began to form a line around the registration desk. Dogs were brought to us in handbags, on carts and wheelbarrows and cats surprisingly enough were carried in on string leashes or in cardboard boxes. Half came to us to receive spay/neuter surgery and the other half for health consultations

 

Until recently World Vets had not set up a direct veterinary service campaign in this particular community. Located 25 minutes or so outside of the main town of San Juan del Sur, the rural community of Escamequita is a world of its own. Continue reading
