You can provide essential veterinary equipment and care to pets in remote Northern communities.
Improve health and save lives.
This Giving Tuesday, you have the power to improve health and save lives. In remote communities across Canada and the United States, the lack of regular access to veterinary care puts both animals and people at serious risk. Pets often live shorter lives, dying from diseases that could easily be treated or prevented. Unvaccinated dogs can transfer deadly diseases like rabies to humans, with children being most vulnerable to dog bites. In the Northwest Territories, just three veterinarians serve the entire region, while Nunavut has no veterinary clinics at all. Nearly 200 communities in Alaska also lack consistent veterinary care.
This Giving Tuesday, you can make a life-saving difference by providing essential vet care, spay/neuter programs and equipment for our no-cost clinic—and have your gift matched*:
DOUBLE the impact for animals this Giving Tuesday—twice the number of animals will benefit, and so will entire communities**.
Veterinarians Without Borders/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières North America (VWB/VSF) collaborates with remote communities to identify their unique needs, offering temporary, no-cost veterinary clinics staffed by dedicated volunteers. But we can’t provide these essential services without the proper equipment—or your support!
Without the crucial support of donors like you, (VWB) cannot provide vet care or vaccinate the hundreds of dogs that still need protection from rabies, leaving communities vulnerable.
Make a difference today. Together, we can improve health, save lives, and ensure that communities have the veterinary care they need year-round.
