Review for World Vets, Gig Harbor, WA, USA
I am a trip leader for World Vets and have been to Guatemala, Nicaragua (3 times), Ecuador (2 times), Japan, Mexico (2 times). I will be going to the Dominican Republic, Peru and Tanzania in the coming months.
We don't just do spay/neuter clinics but also and very importantly we connect with the local veterinarians and veterinary schools. I usually have local vets and students working beside me during clinic days and we share surgical techniques and tips on how to deal with common diseases. I know of no other veterinary/animal welfare organization that encourages and actively nurtures foreign veterinarians and vet students. These relationships are invaluable to the continuity of high quality of care long after World Vet volunteers have departed.
One of my favorite things about these trips is getting to meet and work with adventurous people of all ages who are willing to go to far flung places, roll up their sleeves and work hard to better the condition of animals.
