As wildfires continue to ravage the beautiful province of Alberta, Canada many communities are facing unprecedented challenges. The impact on both human and animal lives is profound, and we urgently need your support to help those affected.
The fires have been especially devastating for the people of Jasper. In fact, Parks Canada confirmed that 30% of the historic town's structures have been destroyed. We want to support and stand with the people of Jasper during this difficult time.
Veterinarians Without Borders is committed to supporting the people and animals affected by these wildfires. This includes providing free veterinary tele-triage support for affected pets and pet guardians, along with procuring animal care supplies. However, we cannot do this alone.
