Street Dogs

So...for the next few weeks these two guys are my new flatmates. They are a couple of puppies that I'm 'homing' temporarily. They are from Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre.

More than 20,000 dogs live on the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal, and many suffer from starvation, infected open sores, mange, and other injuries and illnesses.

The Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (KAT Centre) is a non-profit registered charitable organisation dedicated to improving the welfare of Nepal's animals. They are looking to create a healthy, rabies-free, non-breeding street dog population in Kathmandu.

Their goal is to reduce the number of stray dogs in Nepal's Kathmandu Valley and eliminate rabies through:

? Animal Birth Control (ABC) & Rabies Vaccinations
? Public Education: Teaching compassion and rabies awareness
? Rescue & Treatment: For sick and injured street dogs and cats, many of
whom are now available for adoption

And the reason I've got these guys temporarily is because they are well, but there is a virus which appears to be affecting puppies at the centre, and these guys are aren't old enough to be vaccinated.

And if you are reading this and feel like making a small financial contribution to the cause, follow this link...
