KAR Puppy Carers are doing a great job!

All too often we all hear and read moans of KAR not helping enough – not doing enough – not taking in as many animals as they should etc. Such moans and groans do little to boost the morale of the many volunteers who help at KAR (at the Centre and in other areas of KAR). But still they continue to help and work their socks off – all to help the animals that KAR help.

Their Centre Puppy carers have certainly had a busy few months. Day in, day out the numbers of puppies coming into the Centre continues. In April 2015, 72 puppies were taken in at the Centre, May’s new arrivals were 77 puppies and June was 78.

227 puppies in just 3 months. That is without the adult dogs, cats and kittens that come into the Centre.

These puppies are dumped at the centre – dumped at the office – dumped at the Charity shop. They are brought in following telephone reports from concerned members of the public or following reports from the local Beledeyesi who work with KAR. They come in with our Community Warden who steadily works his way through a variety of cat and dog hotline reports.

But throughout it all KAR, and its band of volunteers, continues to help – by the ongoing campaign to neuter stray dogs and cats, by visits by the KAR education team to local schools, by treating the many illnesses and injuries that are evident, by feeding and caring for the many animals at the Centre on a long term basis … and so the list goes on.

Despite the moans and groans, from all and sundry, the staff and volunteers carry on – they carry on because they care – and they carry on with good humour and kindness.
