📢 NEWS RELEASE: Veterinarians Without Borders has officially launched its 2026 campaign — and this year, your impact is TRIPLED!

🐾 When an animal needs help, Care Can't Wait.

In Ukraine, Tilly was found badly injured in a conflict zone, with a critical head injury and just a 1% chance of survival.

Thanks to the efforts of local partners and veterinary professionals, Tilly underwent several complex surgeries and survived against the odds.

Her story is a powerful reminder of what timely veterinary care can make possible.

❤️ This GivingTuesday, every $1 you donate becomes $3 to help provide essential veterinary treatment, medication, vaccinations and care for animals in need.

Because when an animal needs care, they shouldn't have to wait.

We have some exciting news to share!

After waiting out the weather, we’re finally planning our trip back out to the beautiful Kuskokwim! We’re hoping to be in Kwethluk October 19–20 and Akiachak October 22–23, and we can’t wait to see everyone again!

These are two of our very favorite villages! Kwethluk and Akiachak were the first villages ANRV visited when we began in 2012, and we’ve been fortunate to be able to come back. These communities hold a very special place in our hearts!

We’re also thrilled to announce that ANRV will be partnering with Veterinarians without Borders! They share a similar mission to ours, providing veterinary care to communities around the world, including remote communities in Canada.

We’re excited about this new partnership with a group that shares our commitment to compassionate, nonjudgmental veterinary care. A new partnership, but the same caring, community-centered approach that has always been at the heart of ANRV!

🎯 Between May and July of this year, 1,077 students in Ghana’s Cape Coast region received training on One Health, zoonotic diseases, and biosecurity through our VETS program.

Students strengthened their understanding of the connections between human, animal, and environmental health, and how these connections influence the health of their communities. The training also raised awareness of safe practices related to food, animals, and water.

By building One Health knowledge among young people, VWB is helping equip the next generation with the awareness needed to protect animals, people, and the environments they share.

🐾 Veterinary technicians do a lot more than you might think.

From providing hands-on care and monitoring anesthesia to supporting disease prevention, veterinary technicians play an essential role in keeping animals healthy.

But their work goes beyond the animals they care for. Their expertise also contributes to healthier communities and stronger animal health systems.

This , we're celebrating the skill, compassion, and dedication these professionals bring to their work every day.

➡️ Swipe to learn more about the many roles veterinary technicians play in animal health care.

To the veterinary technicians making a difference for animals and communities, thank you for all that you do! 🧡

🌱 When women lead, healthier communities follow.

In Rwanda’s Nyamagabe District, Louise Marie Mukarugwiza has spent years helping families protect their health as a Community Health Worker. Today, as a member of a One Health Team through the COHERS program, that work reaches even further — connecting human health with animal health, hygiene and the environment.

From visiting households and sharing knowledge to putting One Health practices into action within her own family, Louise shows what community leadership can look like when women have the knowledge, confidence and opportunity to lead change.

💪 On this , we’re celebrating Louise — and rural women whose leadership is helping build healthier, more resilient communities.
