  Beschreibung

  We are a non-profit Spay and Neuter and Community Veterinary Clinic located in the historic walled city of Campeche, Mexico. We serve a population who wants to help alleviate the suffering of abandoned companion animals.
  
  Campeche is a beautiful city that is incredibly rich in culture, history and nature. It was one of the epicentres of Mayan civilization and prehispanic archeological sites are numerous. Once colonized, Campeche grew into an important trading port which was besieged by pirates in the 17th centuries, resulting in fortifications. It is one of the only two walled cities in latin america. The coastline contains countless pristine virgin beaches. The Calakmul biosphere boasts incredible bio-diversity including monkeys, toucans, humminbirds, tapir, jabali and jaguars.
  
  I am Ursula, born in Canada but moved to Mexico a number of years ago and settled in Campeche 4 years ago. I founded Granos de Arena shortly after arriving and it is my passion.
  
  We have 5 full-time staff members at the clinic, 4 of whom are veterinarians and one who is a veterinary technician. We also have volunteers including students and retirees.
  
  Our living accommodations are in our rescue centre, you would have your own room (well, you might need to share it with a dog or two recovering from treatment), and a shared bathroom. The grounds are very spacious, over a hectare, and occupied by dogs, horses, pigs and a couple of cats.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We are a great option for someone interest in a career in veterinary health sciences and anyone who wants to make a difference in the world.
  
  Our staff are local and our service users are all local, some of them tracing their ancestry back to the original founding families that were here in 1492. You will get a lot of exposure to a living breathing community far away from what tourists visiting Mexico normally experience. It will give you an excellent opportunity to practice your spanish, eat regional foods, and experience local customs and traditions, and understand the real challenges and joys of living in the yucatan pensinsula.

  Arbeit

  You will be working directly with veterinarians, in surgery, in consultations and in patient recovery.
  Patient recovery involves monitoring the dogs and cats that are transitioning out of anesthesia under the supervision of the veterinary team.
  
  Previous veterinary experience isn’t necessary but you should be comfortable working with animals and not afraid to get dirty.
  
  Some of our vets speak English but we will help you work on your Spanish.

  Campeche is an amazing place to tour and visit. We have virgin beaches, loads of archaeological sites and wonderful colonial history. And the warmest people!!! It’s a tropical climate so be prepared for heat and humidity, and rain in the rainy season.
