Rescue and Managing Street Animals in Nepal

A Secial Update to our Special Supporters!

Street animals in Nepal face immense challenges—harsh living conditions, hunger, disease, and the constant struggle for survival. This project seeks to make a positive impact by improving their lives and promoting animal welfare. As of today we currently have 27 dogs receiving life saving treatments at our two bases. 

Every week, dozens of dogs come to our team for neutering or long-term treatment. Whether they are being spayed or rescued dogs in need of special care, it is crucial that they receive warm, nutritious meals and your donations not only fund the critical care medication, steralization surgery but we also purchase the essential rice and do food. Sadly our outgoing costs was higher than our incoming in June therefore we did a local community drive to donate rice and we was lucky to get enough rice donated from the local community for July and August! 

As of this writing, this amazingly passionate team has neutered more than 37,000 animals (dogs and cats included) in Nepal. So, one might wonder why so much importance on the neutering (sterilization)? 

Sterilization helps to improve dog welfare by preventing too many stray dogs, who often suffer from hunger and sickness on the streets. The food and space on the streets are limited. If the number of dogs is very high, they have to fight for limited resources available to survive. 

Sterilization stops unwanted puppies from being born, many of which never find a home and live risky lives on the streets. 

Sterilized dogs usually have fewer behavior problems like aggression and wandering, making them safer around people and other animals. This also means less dog fights that result in infected wounds and even death. 

This procedure also lowers their risk of some cancers and infections, helping them live longer, healthier lives. In short, sterilization supports a happier and healthier dog population. 

Your donations help this project be a reality and not a dream. We also had many rescues over the past 3 months but one I remember so well is Kali, our catching team set out early one morning to round up dogs for surgery. During one of these rounds, they spotted Kali peacefully sleeping in a garden. The people around her seemed unaware of her presence or the large, open wound on her side. The wound was severely infected with maggots, and Kali also had numerous fat ticks clinging to her neck.Without hesitation, they brought her to the clinic, where she received immediate and necessary treatment to heal her wound and remove the ticks. Kali stayed with the team for nearly a month during her recovery.

Unlike many other dogs, Kali did not seek attention. She preferred to relax around the medical centre, showing up promptly for meals and proving to be an easy patient. Before releasing her back into her community, we ensured Kali was spayed and vaccinated against rabies. 

Remember, small acts of kindness can create significant ripples of change. Thank you for being part of this compassionate effort!
