Throughout NVA, many veterinary teams take time from their busy schedules to care for wildlife in their local communities. At St. Johns Veterinary Hospital, the team helped this young Roseate Spoonbill who was struggling to walk. They helped him improve his gait before he was released to The Ark Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, where he can continue to grow and thrive. “Roseate Spoonbills remain a threatened species in Florida,” said Hospital Manager Suzanne Price. “They are vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and degradation. Every Spoonbill we save is a win!” ?? Fun fact about roseate spoonbills: Their vibrant pink color comes from their diet, much like flamingos. Searching for a career where you can spread your wings?

Dr. Marisa Gennace joined Ukrainian veterinarians on the front lines to care for hundreds of animals injured by the war. ??????? ? Since Russia’s invasion, Ukrainian veterinarians have faced immense obstacles – caring for countless abandoned or wounded animals with limited resources. Still, they remain determined to deliver the best possible care with what little they have. This resilient spirit inspired Dr. Gennace to join them on the front lines earlier this year.? ? Backed by her team at NVA’s Nutley Animal Hospital in New Jersey, she volunteered with Animal Rescue Kharkiv (ARK), a 24/7 clinic that delivers veterinary care in an active war zone. Dr. Gennace treated over 40 animals, many with shrapnel wounds. “The animals had no idea what was happening. Even if they didn’t have physical wounds (which was rare), they were mentally traumatized by their experiences,” she said.? ? After her time with ARK, she went to Kyiv to assist Dr. Valeriia Forkun at the Dovira Veterinary Clinic. While farther from the front lines, the clinic faced medical supply shortages and an increasing number of patients—many of whom were strays brought in by Good Samaritans. The limitations required them to be creative with their practice to uphold medical standards.? ? Back in New Jersey, the Nutley Animal Hospital team organized a large delivery of flea and tick preventatives, which benefited over 100 cats and 500 dogs at a Kyiv animal shelter. They also wrote letters expressing their solidarity. “The gesture meant a lot to the Ukrainian veterinarians and care staff. It reminded them that they’re not forgotten, and people still care. I was incredibly proud of my team!”? ? ? “This experience helped me be a better veterinarian, especially during high-stress days and cases,” she shared. “It gave me a perspective I didn’t have before, and the one thing I wanted to bring back was awareness. These veterinarians give 100% of themselves, and I will continue to do everything I can to give them hope and remind them they’re not forgotten.”? .? #NVAHero #NVACommunity #vetmed #veterinarymedicine #veterinarian #Ukraine #Kharkiv #Kyiv #animals #animal #pets #pet?#rescue #animalrescue
