The American Fondouk is a full-service equine hospital offering free veterinary care to poor owners of working donkeys, mules, and horses in Fez. It also serves as an educational institution by providing specialist lectures for staff and information for the local people about animal care, welfare, and proper nutrition.

Every day, the Fondouk provides necessary care for thousands of working animals each year. Many of these animals will require intensive care and treatment that the animal owners would not be able to afford on their own.
