Mission Statement and Goals
ViDAS is a non-profit organization made up of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary students and other animal lovers dedicated to improving the lives of animals and people through veterinary medicine and education.
Our goal is prevention of animal suffering due to starvation, disease, and other health problems associated with pet overpopulation in areas of need, recognizing also that overpopulation of animals contributes directly to human disease as well.
Our focus is safe sterilization for the animals and education for the people about safe animal handling, zoonotic disease and general animal husbandry and health care. We also strive for coordination with local veterinarians and municipalities to establish sustainable and humane solutions to overpopulation.
Education of local children is important. We believe that change is most possible when the children are armed with knowledge. We encourage and organize open discussion of disease, pet care and safety with local children at our clinics.
ViDAS pledges to practice high quality medicine and to treat our animal patients and human volunteers and patrons with the highest degree of respect possible.
