A Special Note of Thanks

We are deeply touched by the incredible generosity of Stand Up 4 Elephants (SU4E). Their contribution of NRS 10,000 to our Street Dog Operation Program is a beautiful reflection of their kindness and steadfast commitment to making a meaningful difference for the animals. SU4E has been a cherished partner in our journey, and we are deeply grateful to Floriane, and her wonderful team for believing in our mission and supporting it.

This remarkable organization, dedicated to improving the welfare of captive Asian elephants, their mahouts, and the wider community, continues to inspire us with their compassion and tireless dedication. It is truly heartwarming to see their compassion extend to the street dogs of Chitwan.

Rescue Diaries: Meet Mahat!

Mahat came to the clinic with an unusually enlarged sc***um. Because of its abnormal size, Mahat had difficulty sitting down or walking around comfortably. To add to the trouble, the sc***um had become infected and was covered in sores. Mahat underwent a scrotal ablation surgery to remove the entire sc***um.

Mahat's surgical wound healed within the next two weeks. He is now able to sit and walk around without an pain.

We are thankful to Angela Godar, Anuja Chetri and Saurab Chetri for taking the initiative to help Mahat by bringing him to the clinic.

Neutering: A Step Towards a Better Tomorrow 🐾

2025 is off to a fantastic start! As of this writing, we have successfully neutered 78 street and community dogs—67 females and 11 males at our Ratnanagar base. This vital step helps control the stray dog population, ensuring a healthier and safer community for both animals and humans.

If you see a moon-shaped cut on the left ear of a dog in your community, it means the dog has been neutered. This mark is called an ear notch.

Each surgery brings us closer to a future where every dog has a chance at a better life.

If you would like to get your pets neutered in Ratnanagar base, please message us on our page or call us at 9845580779 / 9802851765.

Rescue Diaries: Meet Ramri!

Ramri was brutally attacked by three dogs, leaving her with severe bite wounds on her abdomen. Without immediate treatment, the injuries quickly became infected, filling with pus and causing her immense pain. When Ramri first arrived at our clinic, she was understandably angry and wary. Her appetite was nonexistent, likely due to pain, infection, and fear.

As her wounds started healing, we could see a change in her personality. She regained her appetite and slowly warmed up to us, seeking out gentle pats and back scratches. Ramri's successful recovery has been made possible because of your generosity. Your support provided the food, medicine, and care that Ramri needed to recover. Today, she is healthy and happy, and has been released back to her community where she belongs.

Rescue Diaries: Meet Setey

Setey, a street dog from Bharatpur, was found after a terrible hit-and-run accident. When we rescued her, her hind leg was completely shattered, causing unbearable pain. To save her life, we had to make the difficult decision to amputate the injured leg. While it was a tough choice, it gave Setey a chance to live without pain.

The surgery went well, and despite everything she endured, Setey’s spirit stayed strong. Her recovery was slow but steady, with small improvements every day. Learning to walk on three legs was challenging at first, but Setey quickly adapted and began moving with ease. The e-collars kindly provided by Ram Hari sir were a huge help in her healing, as they stopped her from licking her wound and allowed it to heal faster.

After more than a month of dedicated care, Setey’s wound has healed beautifully, and her strength has returned. During this time, she was also neutered, vaccinated against rabies, and prepared for a healthy future. Today, Setey was released back into her community, happy and healthy, where she will be cared for by the local people.

The Strength of Street Dogs: Stories of Survival and Hope

Street dogs live very difficult lives. Every day, they face many challenges, like avoiding speeding cars, surviving hit-and-run accidents, and sometimes being hurt by people or attacked by other animals. Despite all this, they show incredible strength, but it’s heartbreaking to see how much they go through.

At our Ratnanagar base, we recently treated three dogs who were hit by vehicles and had badly broken legs. Initially, we tried to save their limbs with plaster, but when recovery seemed impossible, amputation became the only viable option to save their lives. Right now, we are looking after four dogs with leg injuries. Three of them have had amputations and are adjusting to life with three legs, while the fourth dog is being treated with bandages and still has hope for recovery.

Together, we can make a difference. With your support, we can give these brave dogs the care they need and the second chance they deserve.

Contributions like this play a vital role in helping us purchase essential medicines and provide the necessary treatment to heal sick and injured street dogs that are recovering in HART's care. Your generosity and support, not only brings relief to these animals but also inspires us to continue our mission with renewed dedication.

Thank you for making a meaningful difference in their lives!

Rescue Diaries

Great news: Uma has been released back to her community today!

Uma was brought to our clinic by Bina Bajracharya, a kind and active member of the Animal Lovers Group Pokhara. When Uma first came to us, she was very weak, tired, and dehydrated. She had a big wound on her mammary gland, and it seemed she had recently given birth. Sadly, there were no puppies with her, and we wondered if that might have caused mastitis, leading to her infection.

However, as we delved deeper, it became clear that Uma’s condition was far more complex. Tests revealed she was likely battling a blood parasite infection, which had compromised her immune system. Her wounds worsened over the first week, becoming increasingly infected despite intensive treatment. At one point, we had to wrap her entire abdomen in bandages, fearing she might not survive the second week.

But Uma proved us wrong! Slowly, she started eating a little, drinking more water, and getting stronger. Her wounds began to heal faster, and soon she was walking around the clinic with new energy, happily following us for food. As she healed, her true personality came out - a cheerful, loving, and playful dog.

Uma has now been neutered and fully recovered. She has been released back into her community, where we know she will brighten everyone’s day.

A big thank you to Bina Bajracharya and the wonderful members of the Animal Lovers Group Pokhara for their amazing work caring for the street dogs of Pokhara.

Rescue Diaries: Meet Bagar

Bagar, a calm and happy street dog, was rescued by Diego and his friend, a tourist visiting Sauraha. Despite being unfamiliar with the area, Diego didn’t hesitate to bring the injured dog to our office while our team was busy with surgery. Bagar had a deep, fresh wound and had lost a lot of blood, likely caused by a sharp weapon. On the same day we found him, our team stitched his wound to stop the bleeding and immediately began his treatment.

Bagar’s calm and gentle nature made his recovery smooth and stress-free, earning him love and admiration from everyone at our base. He stayed with us for 20 days, during which he showed remarkable patience and cooperation, quickly becoming a favorite among the team. His strength and positive spirit were truly inspiring to witness.

Bagar has now fully recovered. Before releasing him back to his community, we neutered him and vaccinated him against rabies to ensure his long-term health and safety. We are incredibly grateful to Diego and his friend for their kindness, determination, and compassion. Their quick action not only saved Bagar’s life but also reminded us all of the power of empathy in making a real difference.

A compassionate community is the greatest gift a street dog can receive, and this is beautifully reflected in the story of Khaire (one of his many names), a community dog from Lakeside. Khaire had been unwell for some time, and a few months ago, he was brought to the clinic in a fragile state – dehydrated, weak, and scared. After being diagnosed with a blood parasite, his treatment began immediately. With care and medications, Khaire gradually regained his strength, and once he was well enough, he was released back into his community, where his dedicated caretakers continued to look after him.

A few weeks ago, one of Khaire’s caretakers noticed an infected wound on his leg and reported that he seemed lethargic and had lost weight. During our Friday rescue rounds, we were able to attend to Khaire, cleaning his wound and assessing his condition. With the clinic already overwhelmed with patients, we asked if his caretakers could assist with his medications, and they gladly stepped in to help. Thanks to their compassion and commitment, Khaire’s wound has healed, and he is once again healthy and happy.

We are deeply grateful to Khaire’s caretakers for their kindness, dedication, and unwavering support in helping him heal. Their compassion truly reflects the heart of a caring community.

Rescue Diaries: Meet Langur

Langur, a spirited young dog with high energy and charm, recently faced a life-altering ordeal. This brave little one was injured in a hit-and-run accident in Lakeside, which left him with a severe fracture in one of his front legs. Thankfully, compassionate locals rushed Langur to our clinic for urgent care.

It was at the clinic that Langur crossed paths with Ranju, his devoted caretaker. Langur’s unexpected appearance in Lakeside; a location far from his usual neighborhood, grabbed Ranju’s attention and concern. Without hesitation, Ranju stepped forward to oversee Langur’s treatment and care.

Unfortunately, despite the best efforts, Langur's leg could not be saved. The only way was amputation. Langur underwent surgery and made an exceptional recovery.

Langur was released back into his community this week, after making a full recovery. Even though Langur is now a tri-pawed, his energy level remains unbeatable. He runs and stretches as a normal dog. And seeing him so comfortable and well adapted is one of the most beautiful scenarios for us.

Our sincere thank you to Ranju and all the members of Animal Lovers Group Pokhara who forwarded help for Langur.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Pawan Rana for his unwavering dedication to helping sick and injured animals. We are grateful for bringing 'Pawan' to the clinic, which played a crucial role in saving his life.
