The idea for Veterinary Ventures was conceived in January 2005 by Dr. Joi Sutton, DVM. in June of 2005, after months of planning and preparing, the organization was incorporated and gained it’s tax-exempt status.
Veterinary Ventures is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humane veterinary care to the under-served animals of the world.
In January of 2006, Veterinary Ventures completed it’s first trip to American Samoa. 20 volunteers made the trip and after one grueling month of campaigning, close to 800 animals were neutered, and the islands population of dogs, cats, and humans are forever grateful.
MISSION STATEMENT
Bringing humane veterinary care to the animals of the world.
The mission of Veterinary Ventures is to promote, by providing direct veterinary services, the humane treatment and care of animals in needy regions of the world.
Veterinary Ventures seeks areas of the world lacking adequate veterinary care. The goal is to collaborate with local animal groups to set up spay/neuter campaigns in attempt to humanely control stray animal populations. Once a spay/neuter campaign has been established, Veterinary Ventures encourages local humane societies and animal care groups to institute long-term veterinary care.
