goals
Get as much as possible funding for sterilizations
Collaborating with worldwide clinics
Sterilize as many stray dogs and cats
Building a more safe future for strays
PROBLEMS
- 1 billion stray dogs and cats in the world
- Strays are suffering and unhappy
- Shelters are full and short of funds
- Inhumane killing increases
- Every year 15 million people are treated from rabies
- 59.000 rabies yearly (WHO) from which 95% in Africa and Asia
- 99% of this is caused by dogs
SOLUTIONS
- Killing (not effective and will not solve the problem, as long as resources remain available on the streets, the issue will persist)
- Sterilization by vaccination (not yet proven)
- TVHR (Trap-Vasectomy-Hysterectomy-Return): This method involves making the animals sterile while allowing them to remain sexually active. How-ever, it has not been proven yet and is expensive.
- CNR (Catch, Neuter and Return): This method involves sterilizing animals through spaying (ovariohysterectomy) and neutering (castra-tion). This is the method we fund.
- 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.
- Preventing overpopulation is much more efficient than trying to solving it.
- The cost of neutering/spaying is significantly lower than the expense of housing stray animals in shelters.
- We carefully select veterinary clinics that are both cost-efficient and demonstrate a commitment to animal welfare and reliability.
- We operate with minimal overhead costs.

STRAYS
Less stray animals, more happiness
Our focus is mainly on reducing the number of stray animals. In order to do this optimally, all sterilized animals will have to be returned to exactly the same living place.
COOPERATIONS
We proudly support organizations
We support validated and reliable veterinary clinics that have proven to work with successful CNR projects in the past specializing in CNR projects without adoptions..
PLANET
Contributing to sustainable funding
In collaboration with our partners & stakeholders, we are working towards the most sustainable ways of funding and the best environmental impact in our operations.
COMMUNITY
Helping to get the population in balance
We believe that sterilizations benefit for both the strays and the humans around them. We strive to get the population in balance. We continue to work on this each single day.
