Kalpitiya is better known as a sleepy fishing village and tropical beach paradise which comes alive during the windy season thanks to the booming kitesurfing scene here. 

But due to a change in government funding, we are now faced with a huge problem with the beach dogs here and their endless breeding. The suffering of these poor pooches as they seek out food, shelter and safety is incredibly distressing. Puppies themselves are getting pregnant as we no longer have the support to get dogs sterilised or vaccinated. 

I have lived here for 2 years and over this time adopted two gorgeous beach pups and helped give them better lives. Unfortunately my youngest little man passed away a few days ago and in his memory, I am looking to raise funds to get a surgery team up here and sterilise and vaccinate 200 dogs over 5 days.
