Every year, people die, as a result of rabies. Sri Lanka is a developing country

where the means to fight this deadly disease are not as readily available as

they are in other parts of the world.

 

Rabies is a killer. Canine Life Support works to fight rabies and to create a

safe and healthy living environment for man and dog in Sri Lanka.

 

We sterilize stray, community and owned dogs and vaccinate them against rabies

as well as other diseases.

 

We inform people about rabies, about how to prevent dog bites, about animal

welfare and responsible pet ownership.

 

We work according to a protocol: Catch Treat Release. This means that we will

catch the dogs, treat them (sterilization, vaccination and if necessary other

treatment) and we release the dogs back into the same area they were caught.

 

We do not operate as a permanent shelter, because that seriously decreases the

number of dogs we can help.

 

Informing/educating people is one of our major goals. When people know how to

interact with animals and how to prevent confrontations with animals we will

decrease the number of bite incidents.
