EAST KALIMANTAN, BORNEO - SMALL ANIMAL/WELFARE/SUN BEARS Volunteers

Veterinary help needed in Indonesian Borneo

Help improve animal welfare in Indonesia by sharing your skills and experience!

Facility and Program Description:
Kawasan Wisata Pendidikan Lingkungan Hidup (KWPLH) is an environmental education center located in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. The facility’s goal is to increase environmental awareness and animal welfare. In addition to our animal programmes, the facility has several education buildings, picnic areas and playgrounds. To see a full description of the KWPLH’s facilities and goals visit www.beruangmadu.org or email us.

KWPLH provides a wonderful accommodation in the form of a forested enclosure for 6 sun bears rescued from the illegal pet trade. Sun bears are the mascot of Balikpapan, and many of our current education programs focus on this species.

Our Domestic Animal Program was created in response to the frequent dumping of kittens/puppies at KWPLH. We have attempted to establish a safe home for abandoned animals and a sterilization and adoption program. We currently have 125+ cats under our care as well as close to 30 dogs, and occasionally take care of other rescued wildlife species whenever brought to the center (macaque, civets, slow loris, birds).

The goals of our Domestic Animal Program are:

Educate visitors in proper pet care including the promotion of pet sterilization;
Discourage the keeping of wildlife (sun bears, orangutans etc.) as pets by highlighting the difference between wild and domestic animals;
Ensure the welfare of the cats and dogs within the environs of KWPLH;
Provide free sterilization programmes for community pets and stray animals, prioritizing animals living in the vicinity of the center;

Experienced Volunteer Vet Needed
We are in need of experienced veterinarian to assist with training and development of our local animal care team. The primary goal is to further train up our team [specifically our local veterinarian] in specialist medical care for our animals, under more or less challenging conditions, and to train our Indonesian animal care-taking staff in mastering necessary skills and knowledge on specialist issues that need frequent treatments.

Other tasks include ideas on improvement of our medical administration and records, enrichment and training programs, and enhancing our adoption programme. There will be work with the sun bears and other wild species, but most time will go to our domestic animals and staff training.

Outlined below is a list of topics that we need help with:

Training on [preventative] care of key medical issues afflicting animals in our target area of work;
Assist with health checks, monitoring of sick animals, and preventive medicine;
Provide training to our local team in mastering key vet [nursing] skills, including but not limited to: safe and effective holds, injection techniques (s.c., i.m., and i.v.), animal handling, sterilization of tools, anesthesia administration and monitoring, clinic administration, first aid, etc;
Efficient animal care database management and administration:
Assist with daily animal care, including feeding and cleaning;
Assist with dog training and training our local animal staff;
Assist bear keepers in treatment of sun bear medical issues;
Assist with improvement of enrichment programs for domestic animals, sun bears and other wildlife occasionally taken care of at the center;

For more details about KWPLH and the veterinary position please email us!

We welcome the help from professional veterinarian in 2022-2023. The position is preferably for 3+ months, but do e-mail us as well if you are available for shorter periods. Free housing is provided at the center, but a small local catering fee is required for meals. A volunteer visa will need to be applied for at a small cost. Couples are also welcome to apply.

Please send end questions and resumes to Gabriella Fredriksson:

On-boarding document to be shared prior to your arrival, providing an overview of life on the island and relevant perks and recommendations.

We are open to a vet who would appreciate the opportunity to take a sabbatical period of 12 months. Someone who is looking to sink deep into Thai culture, food, language, and slow living. There is much fulfillment in a small community, time spent in nature, and quiet independence, with much time and space for personal development.

Volunteers Vets
(SHELTER and CLINIC & OUTREACH)
SUVA, FIJI ISLANDS

Join us as a volunteer in the breathtaking Fiji Islands and help the friendliest people on this planet improve the welfare of Fiji's animals. Many communities of Fiji experience financial hardship and are often unable to provide adequate care for their animals. We, here at SPCA, are focused on assisting them through our subsidized clinic services, shelter, adoption programs and our outreach work, which takes veterinary services (including desexing and education) to those that can't get to us.

SPCA Fiji Islands has opportunities for passionate veterinary surgeons and nurses to assist at both our Suva base and at our regional outreach neuter clinics throughout 2023 and beyond. We offer veterinary professionals rich and diverse, real-world experiences, in city and rural settings, across the Fiji Islands. Our facilities may not be 'first world', but what we lack in resources we make up for in passion and dedication. You will love working with our 6 member veterinary team (vet, interns and nurses). Everyone does! The learning exchanges between our local team and visiting volunteers is always a rich, diverse and rewarding experience for all. The number of volunteer vets who return to our shores, to volunteer again and again, is testimony to the wonderful experiences they leave with.

Join us for a couple of weeks or stay up to three months as a volunteer.

COOK ISLANDS - SMALL ANIMAL / WELFARE VOLUNTEERS

Gandhi said “the greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated”. We know the Cook Islands is a great nation. Are you a vet who wants to help us prove it?

Te Are Manu is a charity clinic, and relies on the generosity of volunteers from all over the world to provide quality veterinary care to the animals of Rarotonga and Aitutaki (and covering the Cook Islands).

Do you want to help our local animals and enjoy a stay in paradise?

Your volunteer stint will expose you to a varied caseload. Previous volunteers have said Te Are Manu is a wonderful place for clinical professional development.

Our services include seeing patients for skin conditions, road traffic accidents, dog bite and other wounds, fish poisoning and a high volume of spey and neuter surgeries.

You will also get to explore the beautiful place that we call home.

Ideally we would like volunteers who can stay for 3-6 weeks but please contact us if you can only stay for a shorter period! We willl do what we can to accommodate you. We hope that the border restrictions will ease as the year goes on.

We arrange all visa requirements for entry into the Cook Islands.

We will greet you at the airport and make sure you get settled in to our beautiful volunteer house just a few minutes away from the clinic and on a stunning beach - great for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing.

SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA - VOLUNTEER POSITIONS

Join a wonderful team in a small private practice in Siem Reap Cambodia as a volunteer for whatever period suits you.

This is an amazing opportunity for an adaptable vet to really make a difference, while experiencing a new culture and amazing tropical climate. Our case-load is mainly cats and dogs with occasional wildlife treatment. Surgical competence is a huge advantage as we currently have an experienced veterinary nurse seeing the consultations, but is unable to provide surgery. This position will require seeing consultations as well as surgery. No previous exotic disease experience is necessary, we can teach you how to recognise these diseases and how to treat them.

Our practice is involved in education, rabies eradication (www.erovaat.org) and other issues that impact human health and animal health/welfare. Help us grow our practice so we can help more patients and contribute more to this beautiful community.

We are currently open Monday-Friday, 9-5, with a lunch break and no on call hours at this time. Enjoy evenings (and lunchtimes) in one of Cambodia’s many hotel swimming pools.

Please click here to see photos!

Siem Reap is a vibrant and fascinating town with a low cost of living. Cambodia is open to travellers with all of the population vaccinated against COVID. Come and see for yourself, we'd all love to meet you! Photo credit for the stunning Angkor Wat temple image: www.danflyingsolo.com

FOR SALE - VET PRACTICE IN THE KOOTENAY ROCKIES

Is practicing veterinary medicine just a part of your life?
Tired of the urban rat-race?
Want an outdoor lifestyle?
Ever considered emigrating to Canada?

The location:

The practice is located on an acreage on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, nine km north of the village of Kaslo, nestled in the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The geography is dominated by the large, pristine lake and 2000-3000m heavily forested mountains. The area is relatively sparsely populated, and is becoming a haven for urban refugees.

The village of Kaslo has a health centre with 4 physicians, a K-12 school, an ice arena, tennis courts and baseball diamond. A vibrant arts community thrives, with a renowned summer jazz festival on a floating stage.

The real estate:

The practice is located in the bottom floor of a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom 3600 sq ft home built in 1994. A covered breezeway containing a hot tub and storage adjoins the house to an 800 sq ft shop with a kennel building underneath. A 1000 sq ft barn with hayloft is situated in the adjacent fenced pasture land. The buildings are located on a 3-4 hectare parcel of land overlooking a secluded beach on Kootenay Lake.

Please click here to see photos!

The practice:

Established for 26 years, the practice serves the north end of Kootenay Lake, with the next closest practice 75 km to the south. The practice is 95% small animal with some potential for expanded equine work in the area. The clinic has separate bathroom, reception, exam, kennel, treatment, and surgery rooms. Gas anaesthesia, monitors, new CBC and chemistry analyzers,and an older X-ray unit are in use. Grooming and boarding facilities are present. The clientele is loyal and appreciative. Cases requiring referral can be sent to Washington State University vet teaching hospital across the border. Two part-time assistants and a family member are currently employed. Annual gross revenue is in the $600,000 range with a high net due to low overhead costs.

The opportunity:

The home-based practice provides flexibility in time management, allowing a great work/life balance. It would enable the prospective new owner to continue working while raising a family and allow the veterinary practice to be a family affair. The area offers unparalleled and unrestricted access to outdoor recreation, with hiking, mountain biking, ATV’ing, swimming and boating in the summer and skiing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter. The current owner is planning to retire in the area and is willing to assist in the transition. The priority is to ensure that the community has continued access to veterinary services, so sale of the practice with inventory and equipment without the real estate would also be considered.
