Stray animal care and sterilisation
Culling does not reduce stray populations and it is illegal. Sterilisation and vaccination do, and the arithmetic is unforgiving — a programme has to reach around seventy per cent of a locality's animals to work at all.
So we work locality by locality rather than scattering effort across a city. Catch, sterilise, vaccinate, notch the ear, release to the same street. Done properly, a neighbourhood's population and its bite incidents both fall within two years.
Alongside that we run an ambulance for injured animals and rehome the ones that cannot survive on the street.
How the programme works
- Locality-saturation approach, not scattered city-wide catching
- Sterilisation with anti-rabies vaccination in the same procedure
- Animals returned to the exact street they were taken from, as the law requires
- Ambulance for road injuries and rehoming for animals that cannot be released

Questions about this programme
Why do you release the animals back onto the same street?
Because the law requires it and because it works. A sterilised, vaccinated animal holds its territory and prevents unsterilised animals from moving in. Removing animals simply creates a vacuum that fills within months.
There is an injured dog near me. What do I do?
Call the ambulance number listed on our contact page if you are in a city where we operate. Do not move a badly injured animal yourself — keep it calm, keep traffic away, and wait.
