Support for Have A Heart-Namibia

Dear Animal-Kind International & Have A Heart-Luderitz Supporters,

Your support to the AKI/HAH GlobalGiving project covered the costs for the Spayathon in Aus at the end of September (see picture).

Have A Heart-Luderitz spayed 21 dogs and 2 cats and one of the cats was a feral cat. Altogether 94 dogs have been spayed in Aus to date, most of them pets, a few of them street dogs and cats. And most of that is thanks to AKI-HAH supporters! Imagine, in Aus, as of just about 1 1/2 years ago, there was no spay or neuter available to pet owners--none at all!

The plan is that HAH-Luderitz will next visit farmers in the vincity of Aus, and wll probably have to use catchpoles to capture some of the dogs that aren't used to being handled. These are dogs that have puppies over and over again, and getting them spayed will make a huge difference in the lives of the dogs and in the cruelty and suffering prevented.

Also, Geesche has identified several dogs and cats for the next spay day in Luderitz (see pictures). While sometimes it seems as if there's a neverending supply of dogs and cats needing s/n, Luderitz is really getting a handle on the problem, and that is only because of HAH and your support.

I'll send more information on the dog houses in the next progress report--so stay tuned for that!

Thank you so much for supporting this project. To remain on the GlobalGiving site, we need to get one unique donation for October, so if you have friends or family who want to make a real difference in the lives of dogs and cats, please let them know about our GlobalGiving project--thank you very much!
