The three girls that were spayed recently were released in the streets tonight. They were so happy to be back that they jumped out of the car to meet with their friends. All went so fast that I could only picture two dogs.

All three have ear tags and were vaccinated against Rabies. They are not aware that they are the lucky ones.

Tonight we could catch a girl that is residing with 2 other girls at the main busy road in Saqqara. We could spay the other 2 a while ago. It was a difficult catch. She is mainly residing here at night and that is not the best time to catch a dog. After the catcher could blow the syringe in her body she fled but the sedation worked fast and we could find her. We took her to the clinic. Later we could catch a boy that had been attacked by a pit bull over a girl. It was the perfect timing to neuter him and give him some care for his wounds at the same time.

It took me a while to find the right team of catchers. Some did not show up in time and others did not use the right sedation. An effective sedation is more expensive but a must in rural areas. Dogs have to sleep fast before they run into the woods. Now I have the right people for the job that makes that I can continue with TNR in Saqqara. Enough suffering for the mother dogs and puppies that most of the time don't survive. This week I will share a story that underlines the urgent need for spaying and neutering. Please people keep on supporting this important work. It is all up to us to help these beautiful souls to have a better life.

All four dogs in the pictures are waiting for their operation.

It costs around Euro 38 to spay/neuter a dog. This is including catching, transport, aftercare, Rabies vaccination and ear tag.

This is a shelter product. This guy is suffering from severe mange. He is residing in one of the shelters in the area and being put in the streets with another dog jn the same condition. The dogs are dominant in packs and every night I have to make sure the other dogs will get enough food. The black dog can eat 5 portions.

I feel very sorry for these dogs. They need treatment and it is clear by now that the shelter is not going to provide for Bravecto and other treatments. The bad thing is that mange is extremely contagious and now other strays are exposed to this decease .With only one Bravecto for large sized dogs I can help both dogs and I can prevent other dogs will get mange.This will cost me Euro 40. I hope people can help these poor dogs who are suffering a lot.

The pack of Buffie, Beary and Papa Bear are now residing on a pile of stones and sand inside a storage. They don't close the gate at night. The dogs will guard the place. At the time I visited them the ladies were out for a walk and one girl is at the vet for her spaying operation.

The waterbowl was being stolen again but no worries, within an hour there will be a new one. It's a challenge these days of how long a water bowl will last. This one I built in.

Tonight we could catch two girls for spaying. It is always a big challenge to catch dogs, especially in rural places where dogs can escape and go into the fields. It is a matter of good planning and a professional team. I know about the daily schedule of the dogs since I feed them. Only after sunset they come to the roads. In this hot weather they are all in the fields cooling off in irrigation water.

We had an excellent catcher today. He could sedate the first dog easily. Then it is a matter of following them. It will take about 5 minutes, sometimes a little more, before they are not able to walk. Then when they sit down It will take another 10 minutes until they sleep. Then the catcher approach the dog slowly and grab her in her neck in a way she cannot bite. The clinic is only a 2 minutes drive. The girl went into the palm woods and we followed her with the light of a head lamp.

The second Girl, a German Shepherd mix was also easy to sedate. But she ended up in the traffic. I know her very well and I just kept on talking to her in order not to escape. Then she ended up at a shore of a canal and there she found some leftovers of chicken in a bag and while getting dizzy she ate from the food. After some minutes they could carry her back to the streets.

I am very happy with the results and about the excellent teamwork.

We could also vaccinate puppy Sultan today.

TNR is so important. We have to get the number of strays down. Only then a good life in the streets is possible for them. Thanks to the people that support my work.

Especially the orphan puppies living outdoors need extra care in this extreme hot weather. I monitor them at the place where they reside. They stay at the land of a villa where 24/7 a guard with his children are around. I have some young assistants now. I am teaching them how to care for the puppies. Sultan, the boy, is doing great but Volla is not so strong. Yesterday she did not want to eat so I returned several times to give her water with ORS against dehydration. Today she ate again. What is nice about the place is that there are crops on the land that need a lot of water and the pups can cool off in this water.
