About Us
One Health Society for Animals strives to promote the well-being of animals in remote, often Indigenous communities where veterinary services are otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain due to financial limitations, distance to veterinary services, or the inability to transport animals to clinics. Animals and people are intimately connected in communities, and by helping people to care for their animals, we aim to promote the health of both. Veterinary care, outreach, and financial assistance/empowerment are primary goals of One Health Society for Animals, as is promoting trust and positive relationships between veterinarians (and more broadly the medical field) and remote communities. We are a family-based operation and believe that our job starts with observing and listening first and then tailoring our assistance goals to better support the community. By connecting deeply with the communities we work with, we hope to build lasting bonds and relationships. We also work to help prevent animal bite injuries to people, especially children.

Our Vision
Our vision is a world that recognizes that the health of animals, people, and communities is deeply interconnected, and where every animal owner has support.
