Improve health. Save lives.

Many communities in Canada’s far north have little or no access to veterinary services. Animals in these northern regions tend to live shorter lives, dying from diseases and causes that are either treatable or preventable. This can put communities at risk as unvaccinated dogs can transfer diseases – including rabies – to people.

You have the power to make a profound difference in the lives of animals in northern Canada. With the generous support of people like you, Veterinarians Without Borders North America (VWB/VSF), in partnership with local communities across Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, can provide essential veterinary care through the Northern Animal Health Initiative.

Whether it’s vaccinating dogs to prevent disease, performing spay/neuter procedures, training members of the community to give vaccinations or charting a flight to a remote community for a volunteer veterinarian, you’ll have a real, life-saving impact that addresses the needs of a community, creates sustainable veterinary care and promotes safe, positive human-animal interactions.

Give now to have a real, life-saving impact for animals and communities in the northern regions of Canada by providing them with the vital veterinary care they need to stay healthy.
