We had an unprecedented number of rescues during the months of September and October and unfortunately, many of them were road traffic accident victims. The matching donations campaign helped us in a big way as your generosity stretched and helped us procure one more set of walking wheels that has been a tremendous morale boost for these dogs. We were also able to conduct mass vaccination drives in conjunction with the World Rabies Day along with creating awareness about the disease and how easy it is to combat Rabies.
World Rabies Day on September 28 every year, is a unique opportunity to join forces with people from around the globe on a day dedicated to preventing Rabies in humans and animals. We were able to vaccinate more than 300 dogs during September on mass Anti-Rabies Vaccination Drives. We conducted mass awareness drives doing door-to-door campaign educating public about the need for vaccinating pets and community animals against Rabies. The most recent dog population survey assessed the total dog population of the city to be approximately 45000. A small donation of USD 10 helps vaccinate 10 dogs against the deadly disease of Rabies taking us one more step closer towards a Rabies-free Coimbatore.
Judy and Merlyn are but two of the several road traffic accident victims that have been rescued recently, bringing the total count of paralyzed dogs at our sanctuary to 10. They have been given a second chance only because of your kindness. Their happiness and joy at being able to run and play along with their four-legged friends are evident in the pictures attached. A donation of USD 350 will help us procure one more set of walking wheels that will help enrich the lives of a few more of our differently-abled pets that have special needs.
