Strolling the Streets of Nepal

Meet Floppy
Hello Our Pawsome Supporters!
It's been a busy few months for our team in Nepal, we have seen a huge increase in emergency rescue and rehab dog's being brought to our attention and so our team jumps into action and heads out to try and save these dogs. Your donations allow us to put fuel in our rescue van and to head out and find these injured, sick and abandoned puppies. We then with your support transfer them back to our clinic where donations fund their emergency treatment which can run into hundreds of dollars as we get many extreme cases, once we save them they stay with us and your donations help us feed and shelter them before they are ready for adoption.
Every puppy that interacts with us must be sterilized and again this is funded by donations, the reason for this is so we can help tackle the huge numbers of dogs on the streets across Nepal, it is such an important step for us.
We had a very generous donation at the start of this year which meant we also were able to run a mass outreach program across satellite camps in Nepal to offer poor families and stray dogs an opportunity for stealization and free anti rabies vaccination. Our team over the past 2 months administered a total of 1,498 anti rabies injections that provides a year's long protection to the dogs. This included 854 male dogs and 644 female dogs with a breakdown of 997 free roaming unowned street dogs, 343 free roaming but owned dogs and 158 owned dogs from poor community members.
We are excited to fundraise to do more of these outreach events as they make a huge difference but also help us get our message out across more communities. Finally I wanted to leave you with just one of the many rescues we had over the last couple of months and photographed above is 'Floppy' a community dog for Bengnas who we found was suffering from Ehrlichiosis, an infection transmitted by ticks.
Floppy's recover has been another rollercoaster for us, she was so weak that we couldn't get food down her for days and it began to look like we might lose her but our team didn't give up and with your donations we was able to fund drips and fluid to aid her recovery and she is now on the mend, she still has a long way to go but things are looking positive - this is one of ten cases we had last month costing us around $23,000 and this was 100% funded through your support and donations so THANK YOU!!!!
Until next time, thank you for being part of our community and project here in Nepal!!

Introduction
Government institutions in Nepal give no assistance to animal welfare and there are no other animal welfare charities working in our partner areas, so our project is the only opportunity for help for these dogs and cats.
Report
By working with local authorities repeating core programmes that tackle this issue through spading, protecting and providing emergency care for stray animals, we will enable the continuation of programmes that have helped thousands of animals. Attitudes to animals will continue to evolve and their treatment will improve. It costs the project $15 for one rabies vaccine
Thank you for your support
