I will be visiting Sri Lanka in October to volunteer for 2 weeks, helping with their CNVR (Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release) program!

WeCare is a UK charity set up by UK vet Dr Janey Lowes in 2014 when she saw the plight of the street dogs while on holiday in Sri Lanka. Realising the dogs had everything they need to survive – food, freedom and a safe place to sleep – except access to high standard veterinary care, she couldn’t turn her back on them. So, she moved her life to the island to live her calling.

Since the charity was set up it has grown from a one-man-band to a dedicated team of 30 individuals, working together to help, treat and educate.

Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (CNVR) is the backbone of everything they do at WeCare. It’s the most humane, sustainable and impactful way of reducing the roaming dog population, and keeping the current ones happy and healthy. It also protects the local people against Rabies.

As well as CNVR, WECare focus on treatment of illness and injury, and educating the community about the welfare of roaming dogs.

I am really looking forward to my time with WeCare as they do such important work! I would like to raise at least £300 for them before I go, so please give what you can! You can find more information on their website:
