Shoulder is having her second litter of the year... It can be a hard life for the female dogs, having one litter after the other... Most of her pups are healthy, but some got mango worms which Blaise and Ajie sorted out.

We are working on neutering as many dogs as possible in Gunjur. Our mission is to increase the welfare of the dogs and keep the number of dogs under control. If you want to help and support our work, check out the link below. 🙏🐾

Poor Soldier was abandoned by the owner and living in a very poor condition. He is lucky though, as one boy came to rescue and contacted Gunjur Dog Patrol for help. What looks like a small wound, was actually a pocket of maggots and would have developed further. Our team cleared it out, cleaned him up and will follow up with him. The boy who rescued him, will now keep him. A lucky Soldier, found help in time. 🐾🙏

Dog Club for Kids 🐾😍

Saturday was a big milestone for us at Gunjur Dog Patrol. We have kickstarted our dog club for kids! 😊👏

Every second Saturday, our dog rangers will spend time with the kids and teach them how to increase their knowledge and to become responsible dog owners. Last Saturday, six excited dog owners turned up and they had a great time with our rangers. Many more kids said they will join next time! 😊

Dogs are often left for the kids to take care off. They love their dogs, but need some guidance on how to take good care of them. Small adjustments will make huge difference. One step at the time. We do some class room information, and they also bring their dogs for check ups, and information on the easy things they can do themselves.

A big thank you to VDC (Gunjur Village Development Committee) and AFNOW (Abubakarr Siddique Foundation for Needy and Orphan Welfare) for the support and letting us use their facilities in Gunjur Village. And of coursee to our dog rangers for the amazing work Blaise Gomez, Lamin Jarju & Ajie Njie. 🙏

A typical day in the village for our dog rangers ...

Yesterday Jinnet, Lucky and Olive had a trip to The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust to be spayed. No more puppies for these lovely ladies! 😍

An early morning start for Lamin & Blaise to pick up the dogs with Buba from Footsteps Eco Lodge, The Gambia. Lamin joined the dogs and met up with Hamish, Connor and Omar who did the operation. Three operations later and all good! 👍

Today Lamin has checked in with the dogs and they seem to recover well 😊👍.

Thank you to am Pups and Paws Prevention CIC for your donation and enabling it, and the GHDT for the operations and making it happen! We are very grateful. 🐾🙏

Thank you so much to Pups and Paws Prevention CIC for the donation and support in our joint mission of neutering dogs in The Gambia. 😍🐾

Yesterday we brought 3 female dogs from Gunjur to The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust to be neutered and handed over donation for their never ending work for animals in The Gambia.

😊

Over the moon to be making a donation of £100 to the Gunjur Dog Patrol today in aid of their neutering programme.

The photo was taken when The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust recently visited the Gunjur to support with neutering.

Neutering and spaying not only benefits the animals themselves but reduces territorial aggression and the demands of responsibility of multiple litters in the community.

No more mango worms for John! Regular visits from the Dog Rangers have supported and educated owners to manage mango worms better on their dogs.

Well done and thank you to Gunjur Dog Patrol 🙏🏻🐶🐾

Hello, Princess 👸👑

Another success story after regular visits from our Dog Rangers.

She used to be very underweight and full of mango worms. Princess is now much happier, healthier and has gained some weight too!

Our dog rangers have been visiting reguraly and advising the owner how to keep the puppies healthy. The owner sticks to the advice. All puppies are doing ok and none have mango worm 🙏🏻
