PLEASE SUPPORT 'DOGSTAR FOUNDATION'(UK) - for strays & pets in Sri Lanka

[Guest guest]

For the stray dogs & cats + pets of the poor in Sri Lanka...

Please support the vital and selfless work of The Dogstar Foundation(UK)

" Making tails wag since 2006 "

 

Dogstar Foundation is a very small UK registered charity with a handful of core

team members - who are providing free veterinary care, neutering, rabies

vaccinations, full course vaccinations, food, etc to street dogs, temple dogs,

community dogs and pets belonging to poor people in Sri Lanka.

They have a sensitive understanding of what the native people want and so

operate on a CNVR (catch/neuter/vaccinate+treat/release) basis. DSF rehome pups

in the local community and sponsor these in family homes or at temples where

they are cared for by monks.

 

They are working in conjunction with the Sri Lankan Veterinary Faculty to

develop new surgical techniques and medicant protocols to deliver humane

population control of dogs & cats and rabies eradication. Modern small-animal

licensed pain relief and

dissolvable sutures have already been introduced. A steady flow of vet surgeons

from the UK have been volunteering with Dogstar alongside Sri Lankan vets and

students at the SL Vet School.

2 autoclave sterilisers and other surgical equipment have been donated by

Dogstar to the faculty and their local vet. A microscope, other implements and a

vet reference library are about to follow.

 

Dogstar Foundation also help some very poor local residents and orphanages with

DIY projects as well as run education programmes for local children on health,

safety and animal welfare.

 

ALL THIS IS BEING DONE ON A SHOE-STRING BUDGET!

*FUNDS & SUPPLIES ARE ALWAYS DESPERATELY NEEDED*

 

DSF work in their own area but also team up with some of the other animal

welfare groups in Sri Lanka (there are approx 10) to support each other and swap

ideas ¡V they work with groups such as: Canine Life Support, Embark, Tsunami

Animal People Alliance and Blue Paw Trust.

All of these groups have strict cultural sympathies and work with local people.

*NO ANIMALS ARE TURNED AWAY AS THESE TEAMS WILL TREAT / HELP ANY ANIMAL THAT IS

BROUGHT TO THEM, NOT JUST DOGS & CATS.

 

Many Sri Lankan people want community dogs to remain as community dogs as long

as they are neutered, vaccinated and kept healthy - many of the dogs

themselves seem happier living free in the community.
