VIDA Veterinary Teams

Veterinary Items Needed

Orphaned baby sloth, Costa Rica

Many animals in Central America receive no regular veterinary care. By partnering with communities in need and globally–minded volunteers, we are able to provide basic veterinary care, education, and free spay/neuter surgeries to the pets and livestock of the working poor through our veterinary mission trips. We aim to support other international nonprofits in their commitment to the communities they work in as well as provide support to remote and isolated communities.
