Protecting Paws, Protecting People: The Mass Anti-Rabies Vaccination Continues in Ratnanagar!

Our mission to keep the community safe from rabies is going strong. So far, we’ve vaccinated 1,066 dogs across Wards 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, and 2, and the number is growing every day. With a goal to cover at least 70% of the dog population, our dedicated team is working tirelessly to protect both animals and people. A big thank-you to the community member for their active support and participation, it truly makes a difference.

During vaccination, we have also rescued dogs with skin problems and brought unspayed female dogs to our office for spaying. The community’s response has been heartwarming, many dog owners are asking about upcoming spaying programs, showing that awareness is growing. To make this campaign even more impactful, we welcome your support.

Every donation helps cover vaccines, medical supplies, and other essentials. Together, we can build a rabies-free community; thank you for standing with us.

Rescue Diaries: Meet Biru!

Biru was rescued by a kind dog lover and her community member. When we first saw her, she had a large mammary tumor on her abdomen. She was kept under our vet’s observation for a day, and the next day, the tumor was surgically removed under general anesthesia. The surgery was successful, and the tumor weighed more than 3 kg, it’s hard to imagine how painful it must have been for her to carry it for so long.

Biru is now recovering at our Ratnanagar clinic in Chitwan. Her wound is cleaned daily, and she’s eating well, resting, and responding to treatment. Along with Biru, 18 more rescued dogs are under our care, many suffering from skin problems. We truly need your support; no matter the size, every donation helps make a difference. Please keep Biru and our other rescue dogs in your prayers and help us with their ongoing treatments if you can.

Late Post: Kukur Tihar
Celebrating the bond of love and loyalty❤️

Kukur Tihar is a special day to thank and honour our dearest friends, the dogs. It’s a celebration of their love, loyalty, and the joy they bring into our lives every single day. On this day, we pause to show them the care and kindness they give us all year round.

On the day of Kukur Tihar, 20th October, our Pokhara team celebrated by placing tika and garlands on our in-house dogs, celebrating their special place in our hearts. Meanwhile, our Ratnanagar team shared love with the street dogs of Sauraha and Bachhauli, feeding over 120 dogs early in the morning. After returning to the base, we also put tika and garlands on the dogs under our care.

Many animal lovers joined us in spreading love and happiness. Together, we celebrated the bond of loyalty and gratitude that makes our furry friends such a special part of our lives.

Creating a Rabies-Free Ratnanagar – MARV Continues

Our mission to make Ratnanagar rabies-free is moving forward with great teamwork and dedication! Every morning, our team gathers at the HART office, ready to bring this program to each community. In collaboration with Ratnanagar Municipality, we are carrying out a mass anti-rabies vaccination program for both owned and free-roaming dogs.

Early mornings are the best time for vaccination, as dogs are calm and resting in familiar spots. The love and care shown by the community make our work even more meaningful, many people help us catch the dogs from their area, while children happily walk with the team, showing where the dogs are. It’s truly heartwarming to see the kindness and bond between people, dogs, and the community.

To show which dogs have already been vaccinated, we mark them with a green tika on their forehead and body letting everyone know which “colorful” dogs are already protected. So far, we’ve vaccinated 616 dogs in Wards 16, 15, 14, 13 and 12, and the number keeps growing every day. We also share pamphlets to spread awareness about rabies prevention and responsible pet care, encouraging everyone to join hands in creating a safer, kinder, and rabies-free Ratnanagar.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our journey through the wards - one vaccine, one step closer to a rabies-free future!

Working Together for a Healthier Community

HART is excited to teaming up with the Katy Adamson Conservation Fund (KACF), an organisation founded in 2014 to protect endangered animals around the world. The KACF team will be in Sauraha from 8th November onwards to conduct an elephant health camp, focusing on the care and well-being of these gentle giants.

Along with this, they are supporting HART’s work by providing resources for dog vaccinations and neutering in the buffer zones of Chitwan National Park. Together, we will vaccinate around 1,200 dogs (including protection against distemper) and neuter 200 dogs. This joint effort extends the reach of both HART and KACF, protecting more vulnerable wild animals and street animals, and creating safer and healthier communities for all.

Back to Work After Tihar

The Tihar celebrations are over, and our teams are back in full action at both Pokhara and Ratnanagar bases. Our work continues to care for animals, rescue those in need, and make our communities safer and healthier.

Before Tihar, we successfully completed the rabies vaccination program in Ratnanagar for Wards 16, 15, 14, and some areas of Ward 13. We will continue the campaign in the remaining areas of Ward 13 starting tomorrow and will share updates on our progress soon.

Kukur Tihar 2082 – Street Dog Feeding Program 🐾✨

From 9 a.m., HART staff, volunteers, and our friends from Pokhara Animal Lovers (PAL) gathered at HART to prepare meals for around 600 street dogs. It took nearly three hours to get everything ready!

After a quick snack, the team split into two groups — HART vehicles led the way, followed by PAL members on their two-wheelers, which made it easier to reach narrow lanes and hidden corners of the city.

It was a heartwarming experience to feed the free-roaming dogs who usually survive by scavenging on the streets.

To acknowledge the wonderful effort, HART also handed over Certificates of Appreciation to PAL members for their enthusiasm, teamwork, and high spirits in helping the animals of Pokhara.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed their time, love, and energy to make this Kukur Tihar special for our four-legged friends! ❤️🐶

👉 We’ll also be celebrating Kukur Tihar at HART tomorrow — everyone is warmly invited to join us in offering garlands, tika, and food to our resident dogs. 💐🐕

Creating a Rabies-Free Ratnanagar - MARV Begins!

We are excited to announce that the 2nd year of the Mass Anti-Rabies Vaccination (MARV) campaign in Ratnanagar, Chitwan has started! In collaboration with Ratnanagar Municipality, the campaign aims to vaccinate all free-roaming dogs across the 16 wards, starting with Ward 16, with a goal to vaccinate at least 70% of the dogs to protect the whole community.

In the first 3 days, we vaccinated 178 dogs in Wards 16 and 15, marking each with a red tika for easy identification. Some areas in Ward 15 are still left, and we will continue there tomorrow. Every vaccinated dog brings us one step closer to a rabies-free Ratnanagar.

To make this campaign a success, we welcome any help you can offer. Your donations will help cover the cost of vaccines, medical supplies, and other essentials. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.

Thank you to everyone in the community for your support! Stay tuned for more updates as we move through the wards.

Himalayan Animal Rescue Trust is striving to create a place where animals are respected and cared for within their own communities, and disease and distress are things of the past. We focus on rabies eradication, mass neutering and community education.

We have working bases in Pokhara and in Chitwan (Bharatpur). From these bases we run daily clinics for street and community owned dogs and periodically run satellite clinics in different areas of Nepal.
