The Georgia Veterinary Medical Association (GVMA) Foundation is committed to enhancing the veterinary profession in Georgia through education, outreach, and support. With a range of impactful programs, the foundation plays a crucial role in improving animal welfare, advancing veterinary care, and promoting community health across Georgia.
PAWS Program: Keeping Pets and People Together
The GVMA Foundation partners with Meals on Wheels in mid-Georgia to enhance the PAWS (Providing Animal Wellness Support) program. This initiative delivers free veterinary care to vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly and disabled. By ensuring their beloved pets receive essential care, PAWS fosters emotional well-being during challenging times.
Spay/Neuter Grant Program: Reducing Pet Euthanasia Rates
The Spay/Neuter Grant Program effectively combats pet overpopulation by funding low-cost services. This initiative empowers veterinarians to offer crucial care to low-income pet owners, thereby reducing homeless animals in Georgia. Ultimately, the GVMA Foundation promotes responsible pet ownership and improves community health.
GVMA C.A.N.: Compassionate Assistance for Veterinary Professionals
The GVMA C.A.N. (Colleague/Clinic Personnel – Assistance Needed) program provides crucial support to veterinary professionals facing life-altering challenges. This initiative helps veterinarians and clinic staff during crises, such as illness or loss. By fostering a supportive network, GVMA C.A.N. ensures meaningful assistance from peers.
