VWB in Northern Canada 

Animals in the northern regions of Canada tend to live shorter lives, dying from diseases and causes that are either treatable or preventable.

We support communities by offering temporary veterinary clinics in under-served areas in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Once invited, we work to identify needs and build a plan with community representatives to increase the local capacity to address animal care needs year-round.

We are currently responding to the dire need for additional support in Yellowknife due to wildfires. Please donate what you can to help animals and their families through this terrible disaster.

* U.S. Donors please go here to receive a qualified tax receipt. Thank you!

In the EXTRAORDINARY event that the amount raised exceeds the need in this area, your gift will go to the next highest priority.
