Promoting welfare of dogs in rural South Africa

Every two weeks, Tinyiko heads into the village alongside our partner organisation ADHS, and spends the day visiting homes dipping and deworming dogs, checking on puppies, chatting to people about how to look after their dogs, about rabies, and about the importance of sterilizing to prevent unwanted puppies. A high prevalence of canine secually transmitted cancer occurs throughout rural villages, as dogs often roam around and mate with other dogs, spreading the disease... our commitment to each dog we find, an 8 week chemo treatment, is incredibly effective, and in all our cases so far, has saved the dogs life. We are incredibly fortunate to be working to teach conservation, and that animal kindness starts at home. We are fortunate to have your support and funding to cover fuel costs to the clinic so that we can take these dogs for chemo, we are touched and so grateful for the support in covering sterilization costs, and helping us to modify our car so that transport is safe. We might not have reached all the dogs and animals yet, but to each dog we have sterilized or cured of TVT, to that dog.... we have made a difference. So thank you for helping us brinbg animal welfare to rural African villages, one dog at a time.
