Our Background

Veterinarians Without Borders North America (VWB) is proud to be a member of VSF International, a dynamic network of 12 non-profit organizations that are dedicated to improving animal health and welfare globally. Our collaborative efforts have spanned over 30 countries, including across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. VWB is comprised of two distinct entities: VWB/VSF Canada and VWB USA, which work synergistically to deliver impactful veterinary services and support. Together, we strive to create a future where animals, communities, and ecosystems thrive sustainably. By promoting the well-being of all life and environments through education, accessible veterinary care, local wisdom, and global collaboration, we aim to foster resilience and health across the world.

Our Focus

• We keep animals and communities healthy by reducing risks of zoonotic diseases like rabies through local surveillance and disease control measures including community education, food safety, vaccination, and treatment.
• We invest in leadership, governance, information, financing, and coordination of local systems that recognize and respond to the intersections between animal, human, and environmental health.
• Our work facilitates knowledge sharing and exchange, allowing communities to harness their existing assets and strengthen capacity for health. In partnership with governments, local organizations, and communities, we prepare for and respond to emergencies, ensuring equitable access to animal health services and resources.
• We also improve food security and quality of life through integrated livestock and agricultural livelihoods that are resilient to climate change.
