KAT Centre
Life as a street dog is tough, particularly so in Kathmandu where road accidents are common and disease an ever present threat. The Kathmandu Animal Treatment (KAT) Centre do fabulous work to humanely manage the street dog population by running sterilisation and vaccination programmes, as well as emergency rescue, rehabilitation and adoption. https://katcentre.org.np/en/

Animal Nepal work with sick and injured equids in Nepal, run a Working Donkey Outreach Programme and educate donkey owners, handlers and brick kiln owners to work toward the abolition of 'blood bricks'. The Donkey Sanctuary UK has partnered with Animal Nepal to meet these aims and more.

USPCA
Lucky was one of Jennifer's foster dogs, found as a 4 week old abandoned pup. Lucky lived out his days as the world's worst guard dog at Katusso Primary School in Uganda (https://www.schoolforlife.org.au/who-we-are).
Partnered with Animal Kind International, the Uganda Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (USPCA) operate in Kampala, Uganda to provide a very valuable - and one of the very few - dog rescue services in this region on a shoestring. https://uganda-spca.org/home.html
