On June 5-12 Pfizer Animal Health's Adrian Haynie joined Perry Mobley, DVM, of Mobley Veterinary Clinic in Abbeville, Ala., on a veterinary mission trip to a Navajo Indian Reservation just outside Farmington, N.M. Mobley, Haynie, and members from Mobley's church spent eight days traveling around the reservation educating the tribe on the importance of health care for animals and providing vaccinations for the horses, sheep, cattle, dogs, and cats.

Haynie and the team spent their time at the reservation riding around with a Navajo woman guide to various farms. They worked to educate the Navajo people on the importance of health care and wellness for the animals. Pfizer Animal Health provided vaccinations and dewormers for over 1500 head of sheep and an array of dogs, cats and cattle. More than 200 horses were vaccinated with the Mosquito Shot a combination vaccination that protects against West Nile virus (WNV), Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), Western equine encephalitis (WEE), and Tetanus.

"I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to interact and learn about the Navajo tribe," said Haynie, territory manager for the Southeast Region, Pfizer Animal Health. "It was an honor to share with them the quality Pfizer Animal Health products and information on how to better care for their animals."

Mobley has gone to New Mexico to help the Navajo tribe improve the care of their animals for the last couple years. According to Mobley, he has seen a tremendous difference in the care and the health of animals since he began his mission. Originally he approached Haynie about a possible vaccination donation from Pfizer Animal Health for the horses. However, when he then offered to have her join him, she couldn't pass up the opportunity
