The South Asian Veterinary Association (SAVA) of North America is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting South Asian veterinarians and their families through professional development, community engagement, and shared cultural connection.

Founded in Toronto in 2012, SAVA was established by a group of veterinarians with a vision of creating a common platform for sociocultural togetherness and professional growth. What began as a local initiative has grown into a vibrant network connecting veterinary professionals across North America, fostering collaboration, mentorship, and lifelong relationships.

Today, SAVA serves as a trusted hub for education, career support, and community-building. Through continuing education programs, social events, recognition initiatives, and charitable efforts, we aim to strengthen both the professional and personal well-being of our members—while celebrating the values, culture, and shared experiences that unite us.
