Rescue Diaries: Meet Khuili

Khuili was rescued by the HART team from Bharatpur-2 after we received a call from her kind community person, Swesta. When she arrived, she was suffering from severe skin problems caused by demodectic mange, along with a wound on the side of her neck. Most of her fur had fallen out, and she was in a lot of pain and discomfort. On her first day with us, she was given a soothing bath with cypermethrin shampoo and Betadine treatment. Khuili stayed at our clinic for nearly 25 days, receiving regular care and treatment. With time and love, her wound healed, her condition improved, and her fur slowly began to grow back.

Once she fully recovered, Khuili was returned to her community where she belongs. As she was already neutered, she only received a rabies vaccination for her safety and the safety of others. We are very grateful to Megha mam, who kindly supported her treatment, and to her community member who donated two sacks of rice for our rescued dogs. Khuili’s journey is a beautiful reminder of how compassion and kindness can change a life.

MASS ANTI-RABIES VACCINATION (MARV) IN GAIDAKOT

Today, 1st September, we began the Mass Anti-Rabies Vaccination (MARV) campaign in Gaidakot, starting from Ward 1. Being close to our Ratnanagar base, Gaidakot has recently reported rabies cases, and sadly, a person from Ward 8 lost their life to the disease. With its large forest areas and many free-roaming dogs, the risk of rabies here is high, making this campaign important for the safety of both people and animals.

What is MARV and why is it important?
MARV (Mass Anti-Rabies Vaccination) is an annual program where street and community dogs are vaccinated to prevent rabies, a deadly disease that is always fatal once symptoms appear. A single rabies vaccine protects a dog for one year. By vaccinating dogs, we protect both animals and people, reducing fear and the risk of rabies in the community.

Prof. I.P. Dhakal proposed conducting MARV in Gaidakot to safeguard both human and animal lives. After three formal meetings with Gaidakot Municipality officials, the Veterinary Section, HART, and the Rotary & Rotaract Clubs of Gaidakot, today was set as the official starting date for this important program.

The campaign was inaugurated by the Mayor of Gaidakot, who handed over the catching net to our team. On the first day, 40 dogs in Ward 1 were vaccinated and marked with a red tika for easy identification. The campaign will continue across all 18 wards of the municipality.

Stay tuned with us for more updates as the program progresses!

A Note of Thanks

This week, we are deeply grateful to receive generous donations from kind hearts who support HART and our mission to care for animals in need.

We are deeply grateful to Ms. Alina Shrestha for her generous donation of NPR 10,000 in memory of her beloved dog. She shared how HART once treated her dog when she was very sick and gave her hope when it seemed impossible. Sadly, her dog has now passed away due to old age, but through this kind donation her love lives on, helping other dogs in need. Thank you, Alina, for honoring her memory with such kindness.

Our sincere gratitude to Mr. Prakash Gurung and Ms. Alisha for their generous donation of NPR 10,000 in loving memory of their beloved dog, Juni. She was a cherished member of their family, and her loss has been deeply felt. By choosing to honor Juni’s memory in this way, they are helping other animals receive the love and care they deserve. Thank you, Prakash and Alisha, for turning your grief into such a beautiful act of kindness.

Every bit of support, big or small, helps us continue our mission, and we are truly thankful to all those who make a difference in the lives of animals in need.

With Gratitude in Our Hearts

This week, HART was blessed with the kindness of wonderful supporters:

Mr Devendra Gurung contributed a generous NPR 10,000 towards our work. His support will directly go into purchasing essential medical supplies for our Friday rescue rounds, where our team treats sick and injured street dogs in Pokhara. Such timely help makes it possible for us to respond to emergencies, ease suffering, and give animals a real chance at recovery.

Ms Rochana Nakarmi, a resident of Pokhara, visited us with a beautiful offering of dog treats in the loving memory of her beloved dog who passed away a year ago. Her thoughtful gesture reminds us that the bond with a companion animal never truly ends; it continues through acts of kindness to others.

We sincerely thank both Devendra ji and Rochana ji for their generosity. Every contribution, whether in cash or in kind, strengthens our ability to rescue, treat, and care for animals in need.

May their kindness inspire many more to step forward for Nepal’s voiceless souls.

Rescue Diaries: Meet Bhanu

Bhanu was rescued by our team from Ratnanagar-10, Bhanuchowk, with a painful maggot-infested wound on his right leg. He could barely walk when he arrived. Our team cleaned his wound, removed the maggots, and began treatment. Since our doctor was away at a Khumbu camp at that time, the surgery was done once he returned, and thankfully it was successful. During his stay, Bhanu received proper care and also got his rabies vaccination to protect both him and his community. His wound slowly began to heal, and after about two weeks, he was released back into his community.

Sadly, after 10–15 days, his wound got worse again, likely from a dog fight. His community reached out to us, and Bhanu was rescued once more. This time, along with treatment, he was also neutered to improve his health and reduce the risk of future fights. Today, Bhanu is fully healed and back in his community; healthy, happy, and thriving.

Stories like Bhanu’s remind us how much care and effort it takes to give street dogs a second chance at life. If you would like to support more rescues like this, please consider donating to help us continue our work.

Rescue Diaries: Meet Leo

Leo, a friendly dog from Ratnanagar-07, was rescued after a hit-and-run accident that left him with a lacerated wound in the central pe**le region. Thankfully, the wound wasn’t too large and did not affect his legs, so he was able to move around without major difficulty. After being brought to our clinic, our team cleaned his wound, provided proper treatment, and within 14 days he had healed well. Since he was already neutered, we also gave him his rabies vaccination during his stay to ensure better protection for both him and his community. Today, Leo is fully recovered and has been released back to his community; healthy, happy, and safe once again.

Stories like Leo’s are only possible because of your kindness and support. Every rescue, big or small, takes time, love, and resources. With your help, we can continue giving more dogs like Leo a second chance at life. If you’d like to support our work, please consider donating to HART. Every contribution makes a difference.

A Note of Thanks

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Shraddha Adhikari for celebrating her dogs Misty and Kali’s 5th birthday in such a meaningful way by donating Rs. 15,000 and in-kind support toward the care of sick dogs under HART’s protection. Shraddha has been actively helping street animals in every way possible for a long time, and her thoughtful act shows how love for her own pets can help many other street animals in need. We are deeply thankful for her generosity and compassion, which give many helpless animals a chance to heal, find hope, and live better lives.

Happy 5th Birthday, Misty and Kali.

Thank you for spreading so much love and care.

Belly Gives Us a Surprise at HART! 🐾

Belly, a sweet street dog from Pokhara, came to HART for our routine sterilisation program and what a surprise she brought with her! She gave birth to seven healthy puppies right here under our care: four males and three females.

Belly is a devoted mother, nursing her little ones and keeping them safe. She trusts our staff and allows gentle handling of her puppies while ensuring they are well cared for. We are making sure she receives proper nutrition so she can continue looking after her babies.

Belly and her puppies cannot stay at HART indefinitely, as we need space for other dogs in need of care. That’s why we are starting to look for loving homes.....
HART’s commitment to responsible adoption:
Free rabies vaccination for all adopted puppies
Free sterilisation when they reach the appropriate age

Rescue Diaries: Meet Puppy

Puppy’s story began when a caring community member from Bharatpur-10 rushed her to our clinic after she became a victim of a hit-and-run accident. The impact left her with a serious wound on her right abdominal side. Without wasting a moment, our team started her treatment. From day one, she charmed our team, she was so calm during treatment so easy to handle that even one or two team members could manage her care, which is so rare in our HART clinic.

Puppy stayed with us for a month, never once getting into a quarrel with another dog. She enjoyed being in a group, taking long naps, and occasionally strolling around the compound. Taking photos of rescue dogs is usually a challenge, they tend to run away or fidget when the camera appears. But Puppy was different. Each time we tried to take her picture, she looked right at us with a big, happy smile. She really is a little bundle of joy.

Throughout her recovery, her community person visited 2-3 times, bringing rice, dog food, and biscuits, not just for Puppy, but for all our in-house rescues. Their care and concern were deeply touching. Thanks to this love and dedicated treatment, Puppy made a full recovery. Before she returned home, we vaccinated her against rabies to protect her and her community. She’s now back where she belongs, welcomed with joy by the people who never stopped caring for her.
