Spay Panama Volunteer Veterinarian Project
Please consider coming to Panama to volunteer and help make a difference in Panama's animal welfare.  Spay Panama's Animals Yes, USA and Spay Panama invites veterinarians from across the world to come volunteer and exchange knowledge while enjoying another culture.  The veterinarians in the Spay Panama program practice the Quick Spay Method (small incision, early sterilization and use of stainless steel suture).

Not only will you be providing sterilizations and aid to dogs and cats, that in most cases never seen the care of a vet, but you will also get to enjoy a beautiful country, Panama.  Join our team today and have the gratification of helping less fortunate animals that otherwise would die on the streets of starvation, disease, exposure, and lack of basic animal care.

While volunteering with our Spay/Neuter Campaign-Blitz, we offer you the chance to experience the magical world of Panama.   There is no cash donation required, but we do welcome any near to expire or recently expired medicines.
This Volunteer Veterinarian project was designed so virtually all of your costs are covered by Spay Panama.  You will feel right at home with some of our rescued cats in the Spay Panama Lodge.
