Our sterilization project entered the third month of operation and surpassed the monthly target of 100 sterilizations by 151 cases. The number of dogs being sterilized and brought back to their habitat reached 574 at the end of the month.
Meow continued to prepare Takhientia shelter moving cages and makeshift rain shelters from her Thepprasit shelter to the new place. A decent, spacious dog house has to be built. Money to do that is not available and has to be raised.
Meow relocated more than 50 dogs from Thepprasit shelter during the whole month of October. They fitted in quite nicely because the setting is similar to the one they were used to living in. A makeshift fence made out of corrugated iron sheets was built to separate the shelter area from a small road along the shelter.
Several pups have been dumped at the shelter. Meow took them all into her care. Some of them didn't survive because of distemper infection. The other ones have been vaccinated together with dozens more dogs that needed booster shots.
I had to take two puppies into House Nongkraborg. Their mother and their two siblings died at a hotel area. They still had to be bottle-fed for the first couple of days, but adjusted after a week. The adult dogs in the house accepted them.
