Sri Lanka has millions of stray dogs which most suffer from hunger, neglect and untreated diseases. Often, after road traffic accidents, dogs are left on the road and are abandoned to their cruel fate.  Many dogs are also abused or just severely neglected by their owners and are found in very horrible conditions every day. Sri Lanka has also very outdated animal welfare laws, thus animal abuse goes unpunished and is very common. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_162080467916357_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_162080467916357_r.jpeg" /> Unspayed bitches produce several litters of puppies every year which are simply abandoned in front of temples, hospitals, garbage dumps or close to our gate. These puppies are usually too small to have the slightest chance of survival. Most of them die of hunger, parasites or fall victim to animal abuse or road traffic accidents. It is a vicious circle - the animals which survive go on to produce their own offspring. Even pet dogs are in miserable conditions as many people who own dogs are poor and cannot afford vets' fees. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620804659632640_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620804659632640_r.jpeg" />To alleviate the animals' suffering and improve the situation of poor people as well, German Marina Möbius founded Dog Care Clinic in 2007 in the south of Sri Lanka.  The clinic is open and operates on 365 days of the year. We pursue a holistic and sustainable approach including the following programs: • We constantly follow CNVR (Collect Neuter Vaccinate and Return) which means free roaming dogs are collected, neutered, vaccinated, labelled and taken back to where they had come from. Since the founding of the clinic we have neutered more than 73,000 dogs through our mass neutering program. Scientific studies show that CNVR is feasible at all times and verifiable helps reduce stray populations. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620804151764120_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620804151764120_r.jpeg" /> • Through mass vaccinations we can successfully contain rabies and enable social interaction of humans and animals without risks of infections. To date we have given more than 700,000  vaccinations. Since almost 5 years there hasn't been a single recorded case of rabies in our area. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620804715413351_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620804715413351_r.jpeg" /> • Sick and injured dogs receive medical treatments as out- or in-patients. Treatments for needy owners are always free of charge. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620804175835574_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620804175835574_r.jpeg" /> • Dogs that cannot be brought back to their territories or their former owners can continue their life in dignity on our spacious and well-maintained clinic property. Usually, we look after around 300 "resident dogs" who live in small packs. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620804209881278_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620804209881278_r.jpeg" /> • In order to keep the number of dogs on the property as small as possible we implemented our "Re-home 50+" adoption scheme in September 2014. Through this program people in need, older than 50 years of age, can adopt one of our grown up dogs. Since there is no social security in Sri Lanka we create an (additional) income for these seniors. As a reward for taken care of the dogs we pay a monthly pension which ensures the well-being of the dog as well as the foster senior. Currently, there are almost 70 elders taking care of 150 dogs. This is closely supervised by the Dog Care Clinic. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620804229233731_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620804229233731_r.jpeg" /> • Abandoned puppies are nursed back to health. The clinic then tries to find foster homes for the healthy and treated puppies within local families - by doing this we have been able to re-home thousands of dogs since the founding of the Dog Care Clinic. The dogs strengthen the families' social structure and promote an awareness of the relation between humans and animals. Unannounced check-ups and lifelong free medical supervision ensure the health and well-being of the re-homed dogs. Once they are eight months old we pick them up for castration. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_162080456747135_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_162080456747135_r.jpeg" /> • Since the very beginning of our project we do daily feeding tours for more than 300 stray dogs and dogs of poor owners. The dogs gather at several places at the hours they got used to. By these means we can control the whole area and easily identify sick dogs or "newcomer" who have not been neutered yet. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620803869790541_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620803869790541_r.jpeg" /> • Our education and awareness programs as well as a very close relationship to the surrounding communities contribute to a better understanding of the bond between dogs and people. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620804547468587_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620804547468587_r.jpeg" /> • Since the situation of animals is closely related to the situation of people we conduct a series of social programs through which we support the local community and poor animal loving families. We exclusively help and work within Sri Lanka. The clinic employs a staff of 80 local people who are all registered under health care and pension schemes – a rarity in Sri Lanka. The workers receive trainings and further education through the clinic. Marina Möbius also covers the tuition fees for the employee's children for a bright future. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620803893404390_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620803893404390_r.jpeg" /> Castrations, vaccinations and treatments for stray dogs are done for free. Medical care for our Rehome dogs as well as the „DCC 50+“ dogs are free of charge as well. Local people who bring their pet for treatment donate a symbolic amount of 100 to 600 LKR  for the received medical care. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620803915383571_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620803915383571_r.jpeg" /> The clinic's spending sum up to several ten thousands of Euros per month with salaries, dog food and medicine being the biggest share. Unfortunately, the clinic does not receive any support from the government. Marina Möbius covers more than 60 % of the necessary funds by herself. The remaining less than 40 % are donated by supporting animal lovers. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/56596677_1620804522683384_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="56596677_1620804522683384_r.jpeg" /> PLEASE HELP US TO HELP!!
