BluePearl Cares | Care Corps
Volunteer Profile

Program Overview

Our new charitable arm includes a new and meaningful way to give back to pets and people in need — sending our skilled teams of veterinary professionals into communities that have little or no access to veterinary care. The new BluePearl Cares Care Corps travel grant program deploys emergency and specialty veterinarians and technicians to work alongside nonprofit partners to help provide high-quality care in under-resourced communities as well as supporting communities in crisis.

Reimbursement for eligible travel expenses is provided through BluePearl Cares Care Corps program. This volunteer roster is intended to keep track of experienced Associates who have successfully participated in previous outreach trips and are interested in deploying wherever needed most.

If you are a veterinarian or technician with a passion for travel and animal welfare, fill out this volunteer profile form so we can notify you of the next opportunity.

Email Programs@BluePearlCares.org with any questions or updates.
