Activity Report - September 2022
202 more dogs have been sterilized and were taken
back to their living places. The total number of sterilized dogs now
stands at 10,375.
The area next to the house can now again be used, since a door has been built in to make that area accessible from the house. Additionally, a small wall has been built to avoid rain water running into the TVT Station after a heavy downpour.

My
volunteer, Pat, had to go back to Australia for the whole month. Working
on my own, looking properly after more than 70 shelter dogs, is tough.
And, it is not only the shelter work alone; I have to take care of more
than 20 dogs at Wat Amparahm as well. I am also often the focal point
for residents who need my help dealing with sick or injured dogs.
I had to take in a four month old pup that was dumped very close to my shelter. Lizzy settled in very well, and I could release her after two weeks into the house area. Luna, one of my temple dogs, lost weight. I took her in and got her blood tested. Luna is doing quite well. She was obviously dehydrated since she lived on the beach with no sufficient access to fresh water. Saddhu, another temple dog, developed TVT. By the end of the month, he already received four chemotherapy treatments. Two more have to follow.
Navo's and Roshi's skin issues are still ongoing. Their cephalexin treatment has been completed, and they are now only receiving fish oil. That fish oil treatment has to be continued for at least a month.

Brownie, a Labrador living in front of a 7-Eleven store, was hit by a car and dislocated his hip joint. Two foreign residents came forward to cover the costs for a necessary surgery. The surgery is going to take place beginning next month.
