what we do

PROBLEM


  • 1 billion stray dogs and cats in the world

  • Strays are suffering and unhappy

  • Shelters are full and short of funds

  • Euthanization increases every year

  • 55,000 people die from rabies

  • Every year 15 million people are treated from rabies

  • 99% of this is caused by dogs

SOLUTION


  • Killing (not human at all and this will not solve the problem because as long as resources are available on the street, they will remain there)

  • Sterilization by vaccination (not proven yet)

  • TVHR Trap-Vasectomy-Hysterectomy-Return which means the animals become sterile but stay sexually active (not proven yet, expensive)

  • CNR (Catch, Neuter and Return), this means sterilizing; spaying (ovariohysterectomy) and neutering (castration).

  • They will live a healthier and less stressful life.
  • Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats.
  • Neutering prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems.
  • Female animals do not go into heat. Cycles can vary, but female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during the breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they’ll yowl and urinate more frequently, sometimes all over the house.
  • A male dog will be less likely to roam away from home.
  • An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways to escape from the house. Once he’s free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other animals.
  • A neutered male may be better behaved.
  • Unneutered animals are more likely to mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house.
  • A neutered dog might be less likely to mount other dogs, people, and inanimate objects.
  • Some aggression problems may be avoided by early neutering.
The cost of neutering/spaying is far less than the cost of having and caring for a litter (a group of animals that are born at the same time and have the same mother)

STRAYS
