To be effective, sterilisation of cats and dogs, needs to be methodically performed on an area where after successful completion, there will be a significant reduction in homeless animals.

During a ‘Road Trip’ with the team to various locations in Mae Rim, we stopped off in the Ched Yot area to look at a scene we had been told about by a friend of Care for Dogs. On arrival we saw about 12 dogs, some males but the majority were female and some with teats distended from constant suckling and swinging low. Our informant had said there were quite large numbers here that just kept increasing.

It was clear that the neighbourhood was a source of food for them as they all looked quite healthy with flesh and no bones! Laying under cars to shelter from the sun or laying in the road waiting for …. anything, they gave us a greeting that wasn’t too hostile and some were almost touchable but not quite ready for handling. If we are to catch them for inclusion in the Care for Dogs sterilisation program, we will need to gain their trust first.

Thanks to the guy who told us about this area having so many dogs, we will soon start a new sterilisation project here and if we can manage to spay all of the females, we will certainly stop the numbers from continuing to grow unchecked.
