Activity Report – September 2019

Our sterilization project entered the 14th month of operation and surpassed the monthly target of 100 sterilizations by 137 cases. The number of dogs sterilized and brought back to their habitat reached 3,603 at the end of the month.

I lost another two dogs. One by a snakebite and the other one died on the operation table while being castrated. Three shelter dogs and one street dog living near my apartment have been castrated.

I still look after 28 dogs that are living in or at Wat Amparahm. Twenty of them are being fed by a market woman whom I provide with 75 kg rice and pay for her service. The other eight dogs are staying mainly on the temple market and are being fed by the market people. All 28 dogs are in good condition.

I also provide 60 kg dry food and 120 kg rice to a Thai feeder who looks after 60 dogs at Mabprachan Reservoir. Another feeder gets 40 kg dry food for dogs at Thepprasit Road. Just to feed all the dogs I feel responsible for, I have to spend 25,000 Baht every month.
