Puppies like Sinki have no one. She is a victim of abuse. In the mind of the local who threw rocks at her and damaged her eye, he thought she would grow up to bite him or bark too loudly - keeping him up at night. He decided she was not worth living. Instead of showing kindness by feeding her, giving her shelter, or even adopting her, he tried to kill her. The only proven way to prevent future suffering of unwanted puppies is through spaying and neutering.
At DAR we are working to reduce the human/street dog conflict by stabilizing the street dog population through spay/neuter programs and eradicating rabies deaths in humans through mass rabies vaccination and education. By funding this project to sterilize and vaccinate 200 dogs, we are decreasing the suffering of unwanted litters, as well as decreasing the ongoing conflict.
By reducing the number of dogs living on the street, we prevent future suffering for puppies just like Sinki. Female dogs living on the roads can have up to 2 litters per year, most end up not getting adopted and are left on the road. Many are fed by locals, but they still are vulnerable to disease, road accidents, and abuse. By sterilizing 200 dogs, we can prevent future suffering. Our goal is to do 100 each month with our small team of 13 people.
With continued spay/neuter and rabies vaccination throughout our community we have a greater chance of stabilizing the population and lowering rabies risk. In addition, it will improve the welfare of the street dog population: fewer dogs means more food, fewer accidents, illnesses, abuse, and death.
