Watch out Amazon, GivingTuesday is coming!

By Deb Jarret | Founder and Executive Director

The invent of Black Friday brought huge lines just to buy the newest gizmo. Then came Cyber Monday, where the free shipping promos completely changed the landscape of holiday shopping. But when #GivingTuesday started in 2012 people embraced it as a way to refocus their energy and spending by giving back!

Last year, DAR raised over $5,000 on #GivingTuesday!

Your donation funded our annual stray dog population survey, which includes a rabies vaccination camp in the 6 villages we are currently targeting to create a better environment for animals and people. Our goal is to sustain population growth by spaying and neutering 90% of the dogs in these areas and by vaccinating 70% of the dogs to eradicate rabies.

In 2018, we vaccinated 347 dogs in 4.5 days, and our scientific population survey estimated that there are approximately 4,200 stray dogs live in the larger target area. These surveys help us plan and better monitor and evaluate our success.

So far in 2019, DAR has spay/neutered and vaccinated 744 dogs. Since September, we have reached 90% in one targeted area and 70% in another.

This year, we will vaccinate 700-800 dogs during our population survey and vaccination camp. Our goal for #GivingTuesday 2019 is $6,000 to make this possible, but we need your help to reach it!

So mark your calendars for #GivingTuesday on December 3rd and look out for our email. Matching funds will be available but they run out fast so give early and give as generously as you can.

We’re looking forward to this exciting time of year when we’re out in the community working together to eradicate rabies and create a sustained healthy population of stray dogs which in turn creates a safer environment for humans.

Warm Regards,
Deb

By Deb Jarrett | Founder and Executive Director

Princess Snowy recovery story

Dear [donor first name],

In the past 3 months, you have collectively contributed 12,010 amount to Dharamsala Animal Rescue. Let me tell you what kind of impact your donations have done for the street dogs of Dharamsala!

150 dogs were rescued
256 dogs were spay/neutered
292 dogs were vaccinated for rabies
145 children participated in our Animal Buddies humane education program
10 dogs were adopted to loving Forever Homes

I also want to share with you a couple examples of recent rescues:

Surgery saves dog from near death

Golden had a large tumour that enveloped all his genitals and it was so big it burst open. Our vet tried chemotherapy but that didn't seem to work as the tumour was too big. Therefore, as a last attempt to save him she performed a radical surgery that involved removing the tumour and his genitals and performing a perineal urethrostomy, therefore making another hole for him to pee from. Thus surgery however came with the major risk of wound breakdown because so much had to be removed.

Goldie was then put on strict cage rest to hear for 2 weeks. 6 weeks later, he was brought back to his caretaker family, happy, healthy, and peeing just fine. I applaud Dr. Sonia on this incredible saving of this dog’s life.

Partially blind dog can now see

Princess Snowy came to DAR as a sick and partially blind puppy of only 1.5 months. Turns out the partial blindness was only because of her tick fever, and she has now FULLY RECOVERED, not only from the fever, but from her partial blindness too.

See her story on Facebook
