Back in February i was given the opportunity to see first hand how Vetpaw works day and night to protect not only Rhinos but all kinds of endangered animals. This trip was life changing to say the least, and i felt compelled to share with the world the story of Vetpaw and the incredible things they are doing to help these animals.
During this trip my eyes had been opened to the reality of poaching and how animal populations are diminishing faster and faster each year because of this. With some species of Rhinos already gone extinct, the remaining Rhinos are in the danger zone. As the demand for Rhino horn goes up, so does the value, and poachers are risking it all to kill Rhinos in order to get their hands on a horn.
Organizations like Vetpaw exist to protect these animals from the harm of poachers and create a safe and comfortable environment for these animals to live in. Vetpaw has just opened up their second sanctuary and have plans to create the largest rhino sanctuary in the world. This is no easy task especially without the funds to make it happen. Thats where you can help! Vetpaw is a donation based organization and need donations to operate and expand.
