ANIMAL CARE & VETERINARY MEDICINE
Volunteer with local organisations on a mission to cure, rehabilitate and offer shelter to animals. Work closely with a small team of dedicated local vets and animal lovers to help the many injured abandoned and stray animals on the island. They also work to support animal owners caring for their pets and offering adoptive services. Our Animal Care and Veterinary Medicine programs are an excellent opportunity for animal lovers and trainee veterinarians to gain hands-on international work experience, all combined with a unique Caribbean holiday!

It exceeded my expectations without a doubt and I can honestly say I loved every minute of the experience! I felt so good and positive leaving as I felt I had done my bit for the animals in an amazing place. I would recommend it to anyone over 50 wanting a new challenge and to do some good at the same time.
