World Vets Supporting Heska’s 2011 Inspiration In Action

Dec. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Fargo, ND., December 6, 2011 - World Vets, a winner in Heska’s 2010 Inspiration In Action contest, is a strong advocate of the 2011 program.  World Vets won $5,000 in last year’s contest and was able to put the money to use to further develop their disaster relief and international veterinary aid programs, now in 36 different countries.  “The Heska Inspiration In Action program was an excellent way for several veterinary related non-profits to gain some really great exposure,” said Dr. Cathy King, CEO of World Vets.  “This program is a true example of Heska’s commitment to honoring the human-animal bond as well as animal welfare around the world.”

This year the five finalists are Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic, Inspiring Future Leaders in Veterinary Science, Project S.T.R.A.Y., Project V.E.T.S. and Veterinarians without Borders.  “We encourage everyone who loves helping animals to devote a few minutes to learning about these organizations - and then don’t forget to vote!” said Kyle Baird, VP of International Operations for World Vets.  To cast a vote, simply log into Heska’s website:  http://www.heska.com/action.
