Another successful project in Loreto, Mexico

A World Vets team has just wrapped up yet another successful project sterilizing dogs in Loreto, Mexico.  Several times a year we send teams to this fishing village on the Sea of Cortez to work with Animalandia, a local animal welfare group under the leadership of Lucy Gonzales.  Our friends at Animalandia are always so good to us and share some great hospitality ever time we come.  We are happy to provide ongoing support to this very worthy group. 

World Vets at Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas

Dr Andrea Berger, Dr Amanda Thomas, Dr Robert Bruner and Susan Paseman represented World Vets at Western Veteirnary Conference in Las Vegas this week.  Thanks to everyone who stopped by to learn about our exciting programs and volunteer opportunities around the world.  Tuica, a paralyzed dog found roaming the streets of Romania during one of our World Vets projects there, also came to Vegas as our mascot.  She was fortunate to receive a complimentary therapeutic laser treatmeent while she was there and amazingly was able to stand for 30 seconds the next day.  Thanks to Phil at K-LaserUSA for helping our little friend Tuica.  We look forward to working with all of our new volunteers!
