Project AnimalAid

šŸŒ EVERY VACCINE COUNTS. EVERY LIFE MATTERS. ā¤ļø

Today, Bam Animal Clinics received a very important boost from our valued partners, Project AnimalAid—a generous package of essential supplies, including surgical equipment, protective gear, syringes, and other consumables. And the timing could not be better!

As we prepare for our World Rabies Day activities, these supplies will help our team provide much-needed veterinary services and reach more animals and communities with rabies prevention and responsible animal care. Rabies is preventable, yet it continues to take lives. World Rabies Day reminds us that protecting animals is also protecting people. Vaccinating dogs, educating communities, promoting responsible ownership, and ensuring timely veterinary care are all critical steps toward ending rabies.

For Bam, this is more than receiving a box of supplies. It is receiving the means to do more, reach further, and serve better at a time when our communities need us most.

Thank you, Project AnimalAid, for standing with us and investing in this important work. Your generosity will help turn preparation into action and supplies into lifesaving services." Bam Animal Clinics, September 2026

Project AnimalAid is incredibly proud to partner with Bam Animal Clinics. Project AnimalAid has provided Bam with essential veterinary supplies including needles, syringes, suture material, bandaging supplies, halters, PPE, hoof tools and a laptop computer! By providing these critical tools, Project AnimalAid has helped Bam save thousands of dollars - funds they can now direct toward caring for even more donkeys, companion animals and other animals in need in Uganda.

Project AnimalAid’s mission is to "heal the planet one animal at a timeā€.  Project AnimalAid is dedicated to improving the health and welfare of companion animals, wildlife and working animals by acquiring and distributing veterinary/medical equipment and supplies to veterinarians working in 138 nonprofits in over 46 countries around the world. The support these organizations receive from Project AnimalAid allows them to provide lifesaving services to the animals in their care. Wildlife living in sanctuary after being rescued from the pet trade or biomedical research. Street dogs or feral cats treated for wounds and sterilized to prevent unwanted births. Working animals treated for wounds caused by hard labor in fields around the world. Wildlife suffering from snare wounds and other injuries. The need is great! Animals all over the world need YOU.  

With the distribution of these donated, critically necessary items, Project AnimalAid offers a valuable alternative to the disposal of veterinary/medical items that are no longer needed, are not being utilized or are expired. With 10-20 tons of viable veterinary/medical items kept from the landfill each year, the environmental impact is significant.


If you are able, please consider becoming a monthly donor to Project AnimalAid. This is an incredible way to continue your impact AND the first donation of every new monthly donor will be matched up to $100 by the Colorado Gives Foundation. Now's the time!


Testimonials

"It's so much fun to open the boxes that arrive from Colorado and see all of the supplies that we are able to use-it's like Christmas! As a nonprofit, receiving free supplies allows us to use our funds for other integral needs like spay/neuter, testing, vaccinating, flea treating and so much more. Project AnimalAid has saved us thousands of dollars over the years and we are so grateful! From the staff, to the volunteers, to the kitties-we all say "THANK YOU Project AnimalAid!!"
-Wendy Mirrotto, Executive Director, Kitten Krazy (U.S. Frontline Partner)


ā€œThe Save the Dogs team in Cernavoda has picked up the patient monitor. We are so grateful to Project AnimalAid for sending it! Our facility in Cernavoda provides the only veterinary care in the area, so equipment donations like this patient monitor are truly life-saving and much needed.ā€

Giving Activity

Mission

Project AnimalAid (previously Project V.E.T.S.) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the health and welfare of wildlife, companion, working and exotic animals by collecting medical, veterinary and pet supplies and distributing them to veterinarians working with animal welfare nonprofits worldwide. The support these partners receive from Project AnimalAid allows them to provide critical services to the animals in their care.

Project AnimalAid's goals are twofold: 1) to keep valuable medical/veterinary equipment and supplies from being wastefully discarded, and 2) to have them put into the hands of those who are making a difference in the welfare of companion animals, wildlife, working and exotic animals worldwide.

Background Statement

As a practicing veterinarian in Boulder, Colorado in 2009 and an avid wildlife enthusiast, Dr. Candy Sayles Brad, DVM began to notice the overwhelming quantity of useful medical equipment, materials and supplies being discarded and making their way to landfills. She also noticed the incredible need that veterinarians around the world were facing when trying to secure the tools to do their work. The excess items here in the U.S. included valuable equipment, sterile suture material, dental and surgical instruments, textbooks and more. Dr. Brad began to network with nonprofit organizations to funnel these supplies to animal welfare partners; and Project V.E.T.S. (now Project AnimalAid) was officially born in January 2009.
