Story
Put simply this appeal will change the lives of 500 dogs and cats in Sri Lanka forever.
In July 2011 the Dogstar Foundation team ,working in partnership with our fellow WSPA member Society the Tsunami Animal People Alliance (TAPA) will be doing something amazing and life changing for animals & people in some of the poorest areas of Sri Lanka.
Our aim is to provide a 20-day mobile clinic to sterilize & vaccinate 500 owned and stray animals in the Randeniya area of Sabaragamuwa Province Sri Lanka.
That’s over a 500 animals no longer having or siring unwanted litters, 500 animals no longer at high risk of conditions such as canine transmissible venereal tumors or bitches at risk of Pyometra. As well as preventing the birth of literally tens of thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens many of whom would spend their entire lives suffering hunger, homeless and without care or shelter at risk of disease.
The impact on animal and community health that can be achieved by a mass program is immense and will reduce occurrences such as the Parvo / Distemper outbreaks we dealt with in Nov/Dec 2010.
Dogstar's team currently offers on average free 30 surgery’s a month and we have a permanent waiting list.
Of course it’s not just about numbers or indeed dogs and cats.
Education programs will be run at local schools aimed at all ages,teaching children how to interact with animals safely in a country where Rabies is present saves human life’s and makes the community safer for everyone.
Just 10 pounds will sterilize and vaccinate a dog or cat against rabies; just 10 pounds will change an animal’s life for the better forever.
Join with Dogstar and TAPA and help make that change, we need your support to make this amazing clinic happen and change the life of 500 animals forever.
Thank you
