In 2019, we reached the milestone of 3 million cumulative doses of rabies vaccines donated. We collaborate with governments and charitable organizations to aid in controlling infectious animal diseases that could negatively impact animal health and human health. Each year, 59,000 people die from rabies, which is a preventable disease. Through our rabies vaccine donations, the AFYA Program supports Rabies Free Africa in Tanzania and Mission Rabies in Asia and Africa.
The human-animal bond is profound. And it can improve the physical health of people while giving purpose and love to all. There’s no greater proof of that than the work done by the Remount Foundation, a non-profit that uses equine-assisted learning for members of the military and veterans recovering from combat-associated injuries. We help military and first responders and animals find healing.
With a One Health approach, our company’s partnership with the Street Dog Coalition supports efforts to treat both unsheltered pets and homeless pet owners with critical medical care.
