What We Stand For

The South Asian Veterinary Association (SAVA) of North America is a non-profit organization established in Toronto in 2012 to serve South Asian veterinarians and their families through community connection, professional development, and shared cultural identity.

What began as a local initiative has since grown into a vibrant network reaching veterinarians across North America.
