More animals will need veterinary care in the new year. This holiday season, your gift can make twice the difference.
When animals need help, every moment matters
Every day, animals become sick, suffer injuries or need essential veterinary care to stay healthy. For some, that care is difficult to access. For others, an unexpected illness or injury means treatment is needed right away.
This holiday season, your gift will be DOUBLED* thanks to a generous matching donor! That means every dollar you give can go twice as far to help animals receive the veterinary care they'll need in the new year.
Helping animals get the care they need
For an animal who is sick or injured, veterinary care can mean relief from pain, treatment for an illness or a chance to recover.
But in many of the communities where Veterinarians Without Borders (VWB) works, getting that care isn't always easy.
That's why VWB works alongside veterinary teams, communities and local partners to bring essential services within reach, from visiting veterinary clinics in Northern Canada to supporting the treatment of animals affected by the war in Ukraine.
Your holiday gift can help provide:
Your holiday gift can make 2X the difference
For a limited time, every $1 you give can become $2.
A $25 gift becomes $50, $50 becomes $100, $100 becomes $200, and $500 becomes $1,000.
Whatever amount you choose, your doubled gift can help bring treatment, relief and hope to more animals.

Because every animal deserves a chance to receive care
A dog needing surgery. A cat recovering from an injury. An animal in a remote community waiting for a visiting veterinary team.
Their circumstances may be different, but every animal deserves a healthier future, and every family deserves the comfort of knowing care is within reach.
In communities where veterinary services are limited, VWB also helps train local Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) who can provide basic animal health support and help animals receive care closer to home.
With your support, VWB can continue working alongside communities and local partners around the world to help make that possible.
After surviving the dangers of war in Ukraine, Kolyasik needed veterinary care to heal. Your compassion can help animals like him recover.
Your support helps bring essential veterinary care to animals like Potato in remote northern communities.
Your generosity helps animals living far from veterinary services receive the treatment they need, when they need it most.
Rescued from the frontlines in Ukraine, Tsunami is a powerful reminder of why animals caught in conflict need your help.
The year is ending. The need for care isn't.
As we look toward a new year, more animals will need veterinary treatment, medication, vaccinations and other essential care.
For these animals, care can't wait. And with your year-end gift doubled, you can help more animals receive essential veterinary care in the months ahead.
