The Cost of Care

The approximate cost of providing treatment for one badly manged dog (3 injections, 1 week apart) is less than $3 (US). The cost of rabies vaccinations is about $2 (US) and the ost of spay-neutering is between $8 to $12 (US).

Our estimated costs are very low even by local Nepali standards thanks to Dr. Bista who is donating his time and skills. However, before we can start our spay-neutering program, we have to rent and maintain a sterile operating space as well as a recovery space for the dogs where they can be looked after for about a week while they heal. This poses a financial challenge to our two-person project, and thus, we are turning to our friends and fellow-animal lovers for assistance.

Any donation you make will go towards:

• Purchase of rabies vaccines and antibiotics
• medical supplies such as latex gloves, syringes, suturing materials
• Building a post-operative recovery compound
• Purchase of a table for operations
• Rent for work space (room for surgery and recovery area) at approximately $20/month
• Food for the dogs
