We facilitate a variety of programs which includes, on site spay and neuter clinics, programs to balance the health of the people and their dogs and humane education programs used in school and community programs. Humane education teaches people a ethical balanced sensitivity for all living things. Smaller programs are also facilitated which includes dwellings for dogs. This program provides dog houses to owners who don't have shelter for their dogs. It may include building houses through community or school programs. We also facilitate a dog food program which provides people with dog food on a periodic basis whom have taken the initiative to get their dogs spayed and neutered. C.A.P believes education is the foundation for change.

VAST workshops and clinics are offered to communities that rarely see veterinary or animal husbandry services. We train local animal health workers in food animal care, disease prevention and treatment, and biosecurity. The goal is to recognise key diseases in livestock before they become fatal, as well as give locals the opportunity to have their animals health checked. A secondary goal is to deliver needed veterinary medicines and supplies to communities. Our next visit is to Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, with some of the highest infant mortality, illiteracy and infectious disease rates found globally. Since the earthquake in 2010, a cholera epidemic has also impacted the population, compromising their ability to rebuild. As more than 80% of the population survives on less than $2 US/day, farmers are unable to pay for proper animal care. Unfortunately for most rural Haitians, their family's wealth and security are tied up in the few animals they own.
