Mission
To improve the health & well-being of animals through veterinary aid, response, training, research & local capacity building worldwide. We provide services to companion animals, horses, street dogs, livestock and marine animals including wildlife rescue and conservation on the Galapagos Islands and the Salish Sea in the Pacific Northwest.
Program accomplishments
- Helping animals, people and the places they call home. For nearly 25 years, World Vets has provided veterinary aid programs and support in over 50 countries on 6 continents benefiting hundreds of thousands of animals. Programs include spay/neuter, public health, street dog management through vaccination and sterilization, livestock programs, equine programs helping working horses and donkeys, disaster response, wildlife rescue and marine animal programs (including stranding response, rescue of sick, injured or stranded marine animals in the wild, research, protection & conservation). Each year we carry out numerous free sterilization campaigns for dogs and cats in various countries including a large-scale program in the Imbabura region of Ecuador where we have worked for over 16 years. World Vets operates a full-service, free of charge veterinary clinic for domestic animals in the Galapagos Islands and provides wildlife rescue services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year on the Galapagos Islands. In 2024 World Vets built the first wildlife rescue hospital on San Cristobal Island, Galapagos which is used to care for and treat a variety of mostly endangered and other endemic species. In addition, we donated to the Galapagos National Park a 4-wheel drive rescue truck and a zodiac rescue boat as well as a large amount of veterinary equipment and supplies that are used in the wildlife rapid response program through World Vets. World Vets provides heath monitoring for wildlife including the annual health exams for Galapagos giant tortoises. We have a strong focus on local capacity building and empower local professional to promote local term sustainability. Through a largely volunteer workforce of highly skilled professionals along with a small, dedicated staff, World Vets can leverage resources for maximum impact and sustainability.Expenses $1,070,174 · revenue $238,067
