Help Street Dogs in Dharamsala and Save Lives

Thank you for another 4 months of support! 

Without you, Patch and Amiya, both survivors of hit and runs, would never have had a second chance at life and become BFFs. 

During the last 4 months (Nov - Feb) your donations and support have allowed us to do the following: 

• Sterilizations: 433
• Rabies Vaccinations: 457
• Rescues: 174
• Pet Cases: 136
• Treatments: 2099

• Adoptions: 1

• School Education Programs 3 (167 children)

Nothing makes us happier than teaching compassion and safety to a new generation in hopes of a better future! 

FOCUS ON INCREASING STERILIZATION 2023

The struggle to find trained vets who will not leave NGO work for government jobs is ongoing  - making it difficult to have a consistent spay/neuter program. 

To get more vet help, we approached Worldwide Veterinary Service (WVS) to offer any vet who has completed their surgical certificate course the option to come volunteer at DAR and help us reach our goals. 

The response was incredibly positive and we were able to kick off the program in February. With the help of vet volunteers, our Dr. Shaheem was able to complete 100 sterilizations, along with 6 life-saving surgeries.

In exchange for their time, we offered to cover food and lodging. The cost for 2 vet volunteers each month is $250, a small price to help us save more lives! Please consider giving to help us prevent more unwanted puppies and reduce the suffering.

Along with vets who had just completed their surgical courses, we were lucky enough to host Dr. Sumanthe Bedre, a top vet who works for WVS.

This is his second time at DAR. He spent 3 weeks with us last May to run our sterilization training and camp. Now he came back to volunteer! 

Here is what he has to say about DAR: 

I had an amazing time at DAR.Such a dedicated team, I would love to volunteer again in a few months if I get a chance.

Thank you again for trusting us with donations to continue to help the street dogs of Dharamsala. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to email me here.
