Traveling animal care

The Sierra Leone Animal Welfare Society is led by the only veterinarian in the entire country who works on animals. Supported by grants, the SLAWS teams travels primarily around Freetown to spay and neuter dogs and vaccinate them against rabies. With just 5 veterinarians in the country, and all of them near retirement, Sierra Leone will soon be without veterinary care, which will further jeopardize food security in an already poor country.
