Our next sterilization project
We have recently spotted a new pack at the end of a street that appears as though its numbers will quickly get out of control without intervention. We were told about it by neighbors in the area who said they are becoming more and more territorial and noisy at night.
We went out to do a meet and greet only to be growled and barked at, which is expected. This all changes once the food comes out of course.
We have identified 4 females in the pack, all but one of which appear to have had at least one litter of pups already. As I am sure you are aware they will do this again, even if the ones that they currently have are not getting enough food as it is. Dog's aren't really well-known for their "budgeting."

After the food was laid down tails were a wagging, and this is the first step we take to being able to capture the females, take them to our facility for a few days in order to both sterilize them (it is a simple procedure and takes less than 30 minutes.) We also will administer vaccinations to assist in recovery and overall health.

Once they start licking their chops with the delicious free kibbles that they didn't even have to dig out of a trash bin, they quickly started to realize that we meant them no harm. After a few days of this it will be very easy for us to put them in a kennel and bring them to our facilities. You can tell that the above one has had a litter already as has this next one.

Others in the pack seem a bit more questionable as to whether or not they have already had pups but as I mentioned before, it doesn't really matter. If they are in a pack and on the streets they eventually will have puppies of not sterilized.

As packs of street dogs are concerned, this group was considerably more friendly than others that we have encountered, which suggests to us that the surrounding community must to some degree treat them with kindness. However, this can quickly change if the pack becomes too large and becomes a nuisance with noise and knocking over of trash bins. We have seen it many times before where one of the neighbors gets fed up with the hassle of having "wild" animals living outside their gate and then gives them some meat with rat poison cooked into it. This is a terrible way for a dog to slowly die and unfortunately it happens quite often here despite the predominantly Buddhist population.
Did you know that it is possible to pick up, shelter for a few days, sterilize and vaccinate a female dog for about $30? This of course is through charitable, not-for-profit organizations such as ours and our partners, but that is exactly what the total bill normally ends up being. Our funds are tight and we recently opened some new donation centers in the UK so hopefully in a few weeks we will have the necessary funds in order to take care of this situation before the community takes matters into their own hands.
