VIETNAM - VOLUNTEERS - STERILIZATION PROJECTS
About Vietnam Animal Aid
Vietnam Animal Aid is a vegan animal rights organization that has a rescue shelter and vegan farm animal sanctuary in Hoi An, Vietnam. We are part of a growing global, non-speciesist animal rights movement that works to protect all sentient beings. Our mission is to end the suffering of all species through mass sterilization/vaccination, education, and improving veterinary care across Vietnam. We advocate for a fully vegan lifestyle and for the abolition of all animal use and exploitation.
We had our own international nonprofit veterinary clinic for 3 years before it had to close due to lack of funding. We are looking for professionals who are interested in managing the daily operations and veterinary care of our animal sanctuary while helping to expand into projects such as a mobile veterinary clinic which will help to prevent suffering and the need for rescue before it's created.
For more information, please visit our website: https://www.vnanimalaid.org/ and follow us on our social media channels.
Job Role: Volunteer Vets/Techs/Nurses for Sterilization Projects
VAAR is seeking hardworking and self-motivated volunteer veterinary/technicians/nurses for the reopening of our vet projects on 1 September with a sterilization/vaccination clinic (no critical care facilities) along with house visit service. In 2024, mobile work in rural communities will commence as well.
As a vegan organization, our clinic is also anti-speciesist, and it is likely we will encounter other species that will need our help. Our international clinic nearby that we use for our cats and dogs knows/cares absolutely nothing about our chickens and pigs and this has been incredibly frustrating, so we will be hiring only vegan veterinarians/techs/nurses as both volunteers and full-time staff so that we can finally ensure that all our rescues are just patients, not pets versus "food animals." Speciesism has no place in the veterinary industry. that will prevent animal suffering on a mass scale in central Vietnam.
An experienced international vet nurse burned out on clinical work is ideal for this position. For the six months, we will only be able to have volunteer vets (one-month minimum) with a stipend and housing available, but as we grow, we are hiring full-time, year-round vegan vet staff to carry out the project. No emergencies or on-call needed. Experience with both pet species and avian/farmed animals is vital. We have absolutely no veterinary care for our farm sanctuary animals at this point, so we really need people who can use their experience to treat them as best they can here.
Vietnam's borders are now open and there are currently no COVID restrictions.
Job Description:
A bare minimum of 2 years of full-time work in a Western standard clinic with experience in
high-volume sterilization is ideal. Surgical skills must be top-notch and experience with
injectable anesthesia is necessary. The ability to train our Vietnamese vet intern is vital.
Work weeks will include Monday, Wednesday, and Friday sterilization then Tuesday and
Thursday house calls, mobile clinics, and set-up work as necessary. Weekends will be free to
explore the beautiful area of Central Vietnam and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hoi An.
If you are burned out from high-pressure clinical work with spoiled and rude clients, exhausted
from working with vets who also eat animals, this is a great break to work in a clinic that is
outspoken for ALL species and appreciates that vets are not robots who should be forced to
work until they break. We are not only anti-speciesist but also anti-burnout. It's not a luxurious
life and some cases will be extremely frustrating, but we make sure you eat well, sleep well, and
take breaks even if we don't have the funding to pay you particularly well.
Preferred:
- 2 or 4-year degree in an animal-based qualification, veterinary nursing qualification ideal
- Experience living and working in a low resource developing country, with strength in creatively solving problems in a place lacking the rule of law, without international veterinarians, and without many materials and financial needs
- Experience working within the charity sector and/or experience in fundraising
- Experience using charitable social media channels or has marked achievements in their own personal channels/blogs
- Vegan, an understanding of animal rights principles including the abolitionist approach
To apply, please email info@vnanimalaid.org

The facility’s goal is to increase environmental awareness and animal welfare. In addition to our animal programmes, the facility has several education buildings, picnic areas and playgrounds. To see a full description of the KWPLH’s facilities and goals visit www.beruangmadu.org or email us.
KWPLH provides a wonderful accommodation in the form of a forested enclosure for 6 sun bears rescued from the illegal pet trade. Sun bears are the mascot of Balikpapan, and many of our current education programs focus on this species.
Our Domestic Animal Program was created in response to the frequent dumping of kittens/puppies at KWPLH. We have attempted to establish a safe home for abandoned animals and a sterilization and adoption program. We currently have 125+ cats under our care as well as close to 30 dogs, and occasionally take care of other rescued wildlife species whenever brought to the center (macaque, civets, slow loris, birds).
The goals of our Domestic Animal Program are:
- Educate visitors in proper pet care including the promotion of pet sterilization;
- Discourage the keeping of wildlife (sun bears, orangutans etc.) as pets by highlighting the difference between wild and domestic animals;
- Ensure the welfare of the cats and dogs within the environs of KWPLH;
- Provide free sterilization programmes for community pets and stray animals, prioritizing animals living in the vicinity of the center;
Experienced Volunteer Vet Needed

The primary goal is to further train up our team [specifically our local veterinarian] in specialist medical care for our animals, under more or less challenging conditions, and to train our Indonesian animal care-taking staff in mastering necessary skills and knowledge on specialist issues that need frequent treatments.
Other tasks include ideas on improvement of our medical administration and records, enrichment and training programs, and enhancing our adoption programme. There will be work with the sun bears and other wild species, but most time will go to our domestic animals and staff training.
Outlined below is a list of topics that we need help with:
- Training on [preventative] care of key medical issues afflicting animals in our target area of work;
- Assist with health checks, monitoring of sick animals, and preventive medicine;
- Provide training to our local team in mastering key vet [nursing] skills, including but not limited to: safe and effective holds, injection techniques (s.c., i.m., and i.v.), animal handling, sterilization of tools, anesthesia administration and monitoring, clinic administration, first aid, etc;
- Efficient animal care database management and administration:
- Assist with daily animal care, including feeding and cleaning;
- Assist with dog training and training our local animal staff;
- Assist bear keepers in treatment of sun bear medical issues;
- Assist with improvement of enrichment programs for domestic animals, sun bears and other wildlife occasionally taken care of at the center;
For more details about KWPLH and the veterinary position please email us!
We welcome the help from professional veterinarian in 2022-2023. The position is preferably for 3+ months, but do e-mail us as well if you are available for shorter periods. Free housing is provided at the center, but a small local catering fee is required for meals. A volunteer visa will need to be applied for at a small cost. Couples are also welcome to apply.
Please send end questions and resumes to Gabriella Fredriksson:

COOK ISLANDS - SMALL ANIMAL / WELFARE VOLUNTEERS
Gandhi said “the greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated”. We know the Cook Islands is a great nation. Are you a vet who wants to help us prove it?
Te Are Manu is a charity clinic, and relies on the generosity of volunteers from all over the world to provide quality veterinary care to the animals of Rarotonga and Aitutaki (and covering the Cook Islands).
Do you want to help our local animals and enjoy a stay in paradise?
Your volunteer stint will expose you to a varied caseload. Previous volunteers have said Te Are Manu is a wonderful place for clinical professional development.
Our services include seeing patients for skin conditions, road traffic accidents, dog bite and other wounds, fish poisoning and a high volume of spey and neuter surgeries.
You will also get to explore the beautiful place that we call home.
Please click here to see photos!
Ideally we would like volunteers who can stay for 3-6 weeks but please contact us if you can only stay for a shorter period! We willl do what we can to accommodate you. We hope that the border restrictions will ease as the year goes on.
We arrange all visa requirements for entry into the Cook Islands.
We will greet you at the airport and make sure you get settled in to our beautiful volunteer house just a few minutes away from the clinic and on a stunning beach - great for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing.

Veterinarians who are wanting to improve their skills for spay and neuter and newly graduates are very welcome. We conduct TNR programs within Chiang Mai and the surrounding areas when we have enough vets.
Volunteer vets work together with our Thai vet when we have TNR programs. On regular days, they help on the treatment of our resident animals and emergency rescue care.
A minimum of one week is required and vets who can commit to one month stay will be considered for free accommodation depending on the availability. Volunteers are based out of our cat shelter in the town of Doi Saket, outside of Chiang Mai city. No fee to volunteers. Onsite accommodation is available.

We are currently open Monday-Friday, 9-5, with a lunch break and no on call hours at this time, but we may extend to weekends in the future. Enjoy evenings (and lunchtimes) in one of Cambodia’s many hotel swimming pools.

FOR SALE - VET PRACTICE IN THE KOOTENAY ROCKIES
Is practicing veterinary medicine just a part of your life?
Tired of the urban rat-race?
Want an outdoor lifestyle?
Ever considered emigrating to Canada?
The location:
The practice is located on an acreage on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, nine km north of the village of Kaslo, nestled in the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The geography is dominated by the large, pristine lake and 2000-3000m heavily forested mountains. The area is relatively sparsely populated, and is becoming a haven for urban refugees.
The village of Kaslo has a health centre with 4 physicians, a K-12 school, an ice arena, tennis courts and baseball diamond. A vibrant arts community thrives, with a renowned summer jazz festival on a floating stage.
The real estate:
The practice is located in the bottom floor of a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom 3600 sq ft home built in 1994. A covered breezeway containing a hot tub and storage adjoins the house to an 800 sq ft shop with a kennel building underneath. A 1000 sq ft barn with hayloft is situated in the adjacent fenced pasture land. The buildings are located on a 3-4 hectare parcel of land overlooking a secluded beach on Kootenay Lake.
Please click here to see photos!
The practice:
Established for 26 years, the practice serves the north end of Kootenay Lake, with the next closest practice 75 km to the south. The practice is 95% small animal with some potential for expanded equine work in the area. The clinic has separate bathroom, reception, exam, kennel, treatment, and surgery rooms. Gas anaesthesia, monitors, new CBC and chemistry analyzers,and an older X-ray unit are in use. Grooming and boarding facilities are present. The clientele is loyal and appreciative. Cases requiring referral can be sent to Washington State University vet teaching hospital across the border. Two part-time assistants and a family member are currently employed. Annual gross revenue is in the $600,000 range with a high net due to low overhead costs.
The opportunity:
The home-based practice provides flexibility in time management, allowing a great work/life balance. It would enable the prospective new owner to continue working while raising a family and allow the veterinary practice to be a family affair. The area offers unparalleled and unrestricted access to outdoor recreation, with hiking, mountain biking, ATV’ing, swimming and boating in the summer and skiing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter. The current owner is planning to retire in the area and is willing to assist in the transition. The priority is to ensure that the community has continued access to veterinary services, so sale of the practice with inventory and equipment without the real estate would also be considered.
