Birth Control and Immunisation Programme (ABC) Birth Control and Immunisation is the only humane and constructive solution to the problem of stray dogs.In order to control the population of stray dogs and bring down the instance of rabies, PFA DEHRADOON has been conducting this programme since March 2005 and has sterilised/immunised 1257 male/female stray dogs so far. The focus is on the spaying of females as it brings immediate results and help control the population in the minimum possible time and therefore at PFA Dehra Doon, the ratio is 80:20. PFA Dehra Doon has 99% success rate in its ABC Programme. After a post operative care of approx 7-10 days the sterilised dogs are released in their respective localities with one ear marked with a Victory (V) sign to enable relocation. |

ABC On
an average 8 out of every 10 puppies born on the roads die and the rest
are forced to lead a miserable life. Dogs
are territorial animals and if they are sterilized ,vaccinated against
rabies and fed they will not only lead healthy lives but also guard
their respective area. At the same time many unwanted puppies will be
prevented from coming on the roads. PFA
helps in getting these ‘Community Dogs ‘ sterilized.The only help required is the acceptance of these
dogs by the community. Even
the pet owners inadvertently add to the stray dog population.If you
own a female dog and allow her to have pups and also find homes for
them do you think you have not added to the problem?Well, you have.The
homes you find for your dogs could very well have been a home for the
ones on the street.Apart from this the dogs who fail to get homes land
up on streets. In India we have a sickening obsession for foreign breeds
and therefore finding homes for Indian dogs is a Herculean task Therefore
it is equally important to get the street as well as pet male/female
dogs sterilized. Over 90% of the dogs suffering from maggot infested
wounds are males which is a result of their getting into fights over
the females.The sterilized male dogs are less likely to roam and behave
in an aggressive manner. Sterilization is not expensive especially in the long run. GET YOUR PET STERILIZED. PFA provides the facility at very reasonable rates |
