Recommended Relief Organizations
Hawaii Animal Relief
Ukraine Animal Relief
The MVMA formed our International Aid Committee to brainstorm ways in which we can support colleagues and animals abroad. We are working closely with Dr. Vlad Ushakov, President of the Ukrainian Small Animal Veterinary Association (USAVA), and Tufts Vet School to help here in Massachusetts. We hope to expand our ideas and initiatives across the country, too!

Project V.E.T.S. may be interested in the books, though the vet is responsible for shipping. All costs are tax-deductible, according to their website. AVMA also has a website listing organizations and individuals across the country who may collect these. CLICK HERE to access that list. Recycling is also an option.
