Acknowledgments

This manual was born out of a passion for animal welfare, veterinary outreach, and field medicine, and it truly took a village to make it happen. Providing a resource for those working in the field was only made possible by the generous contribution of knowledge and experience from numerous authors and contributors who set aside time between clinic jobs, international travel, teaching, and otherwise hectic schedules to contribute to this text.

While publications on veterinary outreach and field medicine exist, the information has remained scattered and we want to recognize Wiley Publishing for their support in the creation of a text designed to provide a comprehensive resource to those that need it most. We also want to thank the authors for helping us gather valuable material that included both peer-reviewed information and recommendations, and anecdotes based on practical experience, particularly when published literature was lacking.

We want to acknowledge the people working tirelessly to help animals and people living in limited-resourced areas who dedicate their lives, spare time, knowledge, care, and money to help improve animal welfare, veterinary training, and contribute to One Health initiatives in communities all over the world. You inspire us every day and your work, stories, questions, and compassion was what kept us going when motivation was running low after countless hours spent in front of the computer screen at home.

A special thank you to the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at the University of California Davis and Maddie's Shelter Medicine Program at the University of Florida and our mentors who helped guide us through our shelter medicine residencies when shelter medicine was neither considered popular or trendy, and who have continued to support and encourage our quests to make the world a better place for homeless and free-roaming animals. We also appreciate the support of international animal welfare charities including Humane Society International and International Fund for Animal Welfare who encouraged us to pursue this lofty endeavor back when it was merely an idea.

While editing this book, Katherine would like to personally acknowledge the many animal welfare charities throughout Southeast Asia working under extremely challenging conditions who provided daily inspiration and ongoing advice as to what materials would be most practical to include. She'd also like to thank her family who supported her international career and for their understanding when she couldn't always make it home for Christmas. A special thanks to her mother for spending countless hours assisting with editing, and undoubtedly learning a lot about field medicine along the way. Special thanks also to her colleagues and friends for their understanding of occasional tardiness and missed deadlines resulting from the preparation of this text. To her faithful dog and cat, Mangosteen Queen (มังคุด) and Grace for getting her away from the computer and onto the beautiful beaches of Thailand. To Drs. Julie Levy, Cynda Crawford, and Brenda Griffin for setting the bar so very high and supporting their resident down a unique career path. And last but certainly not least, to Dr. Claudia Baldwin, a mentor, friend, and inspiration to her and so many others.

Tess would like to thank Kate Hurley for making her think it is realistic to try and make a difference and save the world, Pixie the rottie for walking her over fields, along beaches and atop mountains, to her amazingly supportive family, friends, and colleagues for making her laugh, love, and share a lot of great memories and bubbles (may there be many more!). To Katherine for being the perfect partner in editing even across oceans. Special thanks to shelter medicine for making her heart sing, and for bringing adventure, friends, pets, and an extended family all over the world into her life.
