Director Statement

Making StreetVet was a privilege, the work, the commitment and the community reminded me of the importance of giving, and how small acts of compassion can make big differences to those in crisis. The StreetVet community are a testament to what we can achieve when we care for others, and the resilience of their clients and their pets highlights the importance of the human-animal bond. It was a joy to be in their world and to document it.
