Tribal Partnership
Program
At The Bond Between, we truly believe in the power of paying it forward. We have been fortunate enough to have the best volunteers, fosters, donors, and supporters, which has allowed us to grow quickly and effectively.
​
We have concentrated many of our outreach efforts on our tribal partnerships. We are humbled and excited to be a trusted partner of many tribal communities.
Since 2017, our Tribal Partnerships Program has centered around wellness clinics that bring vital veterinary care to both domestic and community animals. At these clinics, we have been able to fund spay and neuter surgeries for over 200 animals per year, as well as provide wellness exams and life-saving vaccines to over 1,000 animals annually. These numbers represent far more than just statistics; they represent healthier, happier lives for animals that are an integral part of these communities.
​
This program has allowed us to forge deep connections with the communities we partner with.
We rely on our tribal partners to guide our work based on the needs of their specific community, and we encourage community members to volunteer with us. Together, we have been making a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of people and their pets.
Our Program is not just about providing healthcare to animals, it's about building meaningful relationships through collaboration. This is only possible due to the support of our dedicated volunteers and the trust of our amazing partners which include: Little Earth of United Tribes, Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, Lower Sioux Indian Community, Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Red Lake Nation, Anishinaabe And Awesiinyag, Four Winds Connections, Natives in Vet Med, Aaloved.org, VeTouch (U of MN), SIRVS (U of MN) and Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program.
We acknowledge the honor and privilege it is to work alongside our Tribal partners, learning from their wisdom, respecting their traditions, and embracing their values. Your trust in us and your commitment to animal welfare inspire us daily.
As our program continues to grow, we are looking to extend our reach and amplify our impact. To achieve this, we need additional veterinary partners who share our passion for animal wellness and our dedication to supporting tribal communities. If you are a vet tech or vet assistant interested in joining our cause, please email tribalpartnerships@thebondbetween.org.
In closing, our Tribal Partnerships Program is a testament to the power of collaboration, compassion, and community. We are not only healing animals, but also nurturing the bonds between humans and animals, and between different communities.
The main road block we face in growing this program is funding! Although we currently spend over $45,000 on these clinics each year, we are consistently asked to add more clinic locations. It is so incredibly hard to say no when there is such a huge need. If you are an individual or company looking to maximize your donations' impact in the fight to reduce overpopulation and euthanasia, this is the perfect way to do so!
