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.

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;

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

We spend our days driving around the magnificent island of Bermuda offering home consultations, which massively reduce the stress on the patients and their owners and provide the true VIP experience.
Come and be amazed at how much more your patients can tell you when they are not scared, and what you can learn from seeing their home environment. This is animal care 2.0, the recreated model.

Our days consist of six appointments in the morning and six in the afternoon per team. The teams consist of a vet and qualified nurse with a fully loaded van, which includes everything you need for general appointments.
If you need to send your patient into the clinic, there is a team ready to receive them throughout the day.
Each vet has a minimum of one day per week dedicated to in-clinic work, including surgery, dentistry, ultrasound, radiology, laser treatments and more. We have an Idexx supported in house laboratory and external specialists who come in periodically providing world renowned companion animal chiropractic care and equine dental services.
If you care about the animal experience and want to go beyond what can be offered in traditional clinic practice whilst living in one of the most beautiful and vibrant countries in the world, you could be one of the lucky ones.
We value your free time, so we work a 40-hour week, Monday to Friday 8am-5pm, with a 1-hour lunch break, and are closed at the weekends. We provide our own out-of-hours emergency service on a 1:3 Rota.

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.
