Dr. Lori, Sofia RVT, and Damien RVT recently returned from Guatemala, where they volunteered with World Vets on an incredible spay/neuter campaign!
Alongside a dedicated team of DVMs, RVTs, and volunteers, they helped perform 381 spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats in the small communities surrounding Antigua.
The local families were so grateful for the compassionate care their pets received. In addition to surgery, pets were also provided rabies vaccines, dewormers, and flea & tick prevention, thanks to the wonderful local rescue group Antigua Street Dogs, who partnered with World Vets for this mission.
We are so proud of our team for giving their time and skills to support animal health and welfare around the world. ❤️🌎🐾
The Veterinary Center of Liberty recently raised funds to help cover Sofia’s travel expenses to Guatemala, where she will be volunteering with World Vets. Many of our wonderful clients supported this effort, and we are so grateful for your generosity.
This mission is especially meaningful because Guatemala is the country where Sofia was adopted as a baby — making this journey a full-circle experience for her. Sofia wanted to express her deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed and helped make this opportunity possible.
“I just returned from the most incredible trip to Antigua, Guatemala, where I volunteered with World Vets — and I’m still processing what an amazing experience it was.
I’m so grateful to have worked alongside such an inspiring group of people, including Dr. Lori, who has supported me since the very beginning of my career. The memories, teamwork, and compassion I witnessed are something I’ll carry with me forever.
I also want to give a huge thank you to everyone who supported me. And to everyone who donated, whether you’re a friend, family, or someone I’ve never even met; thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your generosity truly made this possible.” -Sofia
