I have participated in week long spay/neuter World Vet clinics in countries throughout both Central and South America over the last several years. Each experience brings me closer to what really is important in a veterinarian's life, to not only help an animal of total innocence live a healthier, longer life in the care of a person who really loves their pet, but also to educate local veterinarians and animal rescue groups to realize their incredible potential in places requiring such a need. Each experience was filled with hard work, adventure, and meeting individuals from all over. Each experience has created a fantastic memory that gives me the desire to always want to return.
