One of our amazing referring veterinarians is asking for support for the dogs and cats of Otavalo Spay and Neuter Mission. Dr. Brian Neumann and his team are working to raise money for supplies, equipment and medications to bring veterinary care to the pets of Otavalo, Ecuador. They have made this trip previously and were able to help between 300-400 pets get veterinary care they would not normally have access to. Please consider donating or sharing to help these wonderful humans bring care to the dogs and cats of Otavalo!!
