Stray Forward Trap Neuter Spay (TNR)/Feeding/Medical Care project for strays in Saqqara

27/08/2025

This is Fazay just before I brought him over to a clinic. I am feeding Fazay for some years now together with his soul mate Quapa. They were residing in the garden of a nearby villa where they were accepted by the guard. For them it was like a home. Everything was peaceful until the guard started to care for a Pitbull and a Rotweiler in a nearby villa. Here are also some strays residing outside and I used to go there to feed them. At one point the Rotweiler went in heat and the Pitbull attacked Fazay. I told the owners that they could better spay and neuter the dogs but they refused. I took care of Fazay's wounds and next day we brought him over to the vet to neuter him. Miraculously he escaped from the clinic and went back to his old spot. But meanwhile the people of the villa put the Pitbull outside and when I did not see Fazay for some days I was sure he was attacked again. After 3 days he came out of the bushes limping in my direction. I was doing my feeding round and he must have heard me. He was very skinny and weak and had some deep wounds on his leg. I was prepared and had Betadine and antibiotic cream with me. I treated him and he also ate a meal. The next 2 days I repeated this until I saw that he could not defend himself. I had to protect him when a pack of dogs wanted to attack him. It was time he would be going back to the clinic to be safe and in medical care. He also will be neutered. Fazay is devastated
Not because of his injury but because he lost his safe home. A place where he was happy with his best friend. And what's even worse, the owners of the Pitbull and the Rotweiler left and left the dogs behind. A pregnant Rotweiler chained with only one meter to a gate and the Pitbull free in the streets. I could not feed the strays there tonight since the Pitbull eats everything.

TNR is so important to keep the population of strays under control. I was really going in the right direction with spaying and neutering and it is of ignorant and heartless people that the strays cannot live a peaceful life in the streets.

I have many cases these days. I cannot do it all alone. PLEASE SUPPORT ME TO HELP THESE POOR SOULS. I am currently feeding around 60 dogs and still spaying and neutering operations are pending.

Tonight we could catch a young girl that had a litter earlier this year of 7 puppies. Only 3 survived. It was an easy catch. She had to be sedated but she stayed close to us. We just had to wait until she fell asleep. Her 3 puppies were watching over their mother trying to protect her. hopefully she can be reunited with her children within a week. Thanks to Ahmed and Mohammed for their excellent job.

TNR is the most important part of my work. The less dogs in the streets the more other dogs can live a good life. No more suffering for the mothers, the puppies and no more fights between the boys over a girl in heat. Please keep on supporting this important mission .

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.
