General: Another Successful Campaign

Posted by Vet Ventures on 2011-05-02 01:04:28 UTC

It was an awesome and productive week in Cancun for the Vet Ventures team! Working with CANDi, Isla Animals, and Coco's Cat Rescue along with dozens of local and international volunteers we were able to spay and neuter 751 animals in a 5 day period. The community response was so big we had to turn away 148 animals by the end of the week. What an experience. I will be posting picutres and stories on this blog and our Facebook site over the next week to bring you all up to date. Thanks for your support. Jennifer Brown

General: San Carlos Campaign

Posted by Vet Ventures on 2011-03-01 05:04:31 UTC

Well the 4 person team of Joi Sutton, Becky Felknor, Scott Davis, and Delaney Payne has made it home safely. Vet Ventures is thrilled to report a very successful campaign over 100 animals were spayed/neutered/treated during this 10 day campaign. The success of this mission was dependent on the hard work of not only the Vet Ventures volunteers, but also the local organization and their member volunteers. A few of these wonderful people are shown below.

Also we have to do a special shout out to Brian Lawson president of LEI Medical who for almost every campaign has generously donated the use of a multi-port gas anesthetic machine. This allows us to do the best and safest anesthesia possible. Check out their website at www.leimedical.com.
