Dr. Gde is a man on a mission to stop the suffering of animals in his homeland. He has set up Lombok Animal Rescue, an amazing organisation that I am involved with that works tirelessly to help animals in distress. Therefore, I am asking you for your support so that this orgnisations wonderful work can continue.

Alongside being a vet, Dr. Gde also holds a position in government so is therefore kept very busy. Despite this, Dr. Gde gives up his evenings and weekends free of charge to carry out programmes that are of benefit to the animals of the island. In order to do this, he relies on volunteers and donations to carry out his work.

One of the main goals of Lombok Animal Rescue (LAR) is to control the population of dogs on the island. Street dogs roam the roads and beaches of the island and are perceived by many of the local people as a pest and nuisance. Therefore many dogs can be seen that are wounded, hungry or mistreated. LAR is carrying out a sterilisation programme across the island to control the population of dogs without the need to euthanise. As well as this, Dr. Gde is happy to be rung at any time day or night if an animal is found in distress and he will treat it in situ or take it to his clinic for treatment.

As well as dogs, there are also a huge number of cats that live on the street scavenging for food in bins, drains or around the markets. LAR is also carrying out a sterilisation programme for cats but is also trying to set up a cat shelter where cats can go to recover from injuries and wait to be adopted.

Please donate what you can, as all help is gretly appreciated.
