Dogs

Three female stray puppies were rescued from the premises of MA Math, Karunagappally. They were brought to Kollam in the PFA ambulance, and adoptions were made in nice haqppy homes for them.

The ABC program has been suspended. In the first week of March, 2006, the High Court in Kerala passed an order to kill all stray dogs. The Municipal Corporation now catches dogs and kills them by lethal injection. Unfortunately, this not only renders our efforts at this program useless, it also promotes a vicious circle of killing and migrating. Dogs which are killed, no longer protect their territory, and so other dogs move in. There is no end in this way.

The ABC program is a nation-wide endeavor to reduce the amount of stray dogs in a humane way. ABC was introduced to Kollam district in January 2006. A small house was provided to us in Panmana Ashramam to conduct surgeries and care for the dogs during post-operative convalescence. Spayed female dogs are given seven days of convalescence time, during which we feed them on bread and milk. So far 25 male and 8 female dogs have received sterilization.

PFA actively arranges for dogs and other animals to be adopted into loving, caring homes. The Indian "Naattupatti" or street dog is extremely intelligent, loving, and loyal. Adopting a street dog is not only an act of compassion - that dog will be your most faithful friend as long as it lives.

PFA vaccinated a litter of puppies born to a stray, and they were subsequently adopted by well-to-do families. A family in Chavara (near Panmana Ashramam) adopted another female stray dog which had been spayed.
