Bali Street Dog Spay/Neuter Programme
Working to reduce the number of unhealthy and neglected dogs living on the streets of Bali.
There are an estimated one million street dogs in Bali, Indonesia. Over 90% of these dogs suffer from skin parasites and fungus, internal parasites, parvo virus, distemper, malnutrition, maggot infestation, infected wounds, broken limbs or a combination of these painful and debilitating ailments. The dogs are left to fend for themselves without veterinary care or a constant food source. A slow and agonising death is inevitable to most.
Yudisthira is committed to reducing the number of street dogs in Bali and significantly improving the health of the existing dogs.
The Bali Street Dog Spay/Neuter Program, established by Yudisthira approximately nine years ago, has so far prevented the birth of hundreds of thousands of unwanted dogs.
With the use of mobile veterinary clinics, the Program sterilises up to 100 street dogs per day. In addition, the dogs are provided with basic veterinary care for skin infection, wounds and parasites.
The mobile veterinary clinics move into Balinese villages and designated tourist areas and remain on-site until all dogs within that vicinity are sterilised and/or treated.
Of course, you just need to ride around the streets of Bali to realise that there are still many more dogs that are in desperate need of assistance. We are asking for your help to reach out to these dogs.
