My Work with Street Dogs

My work overseas with street dogs, capture teams and animal rescue charities began in Romania, where I worked in the field two charities. Since then, I have been fortunate to have been trained and mentored by the best person in this field, Brian Faulkner, which has enabled me to work alongside dedicated people in a range of countries, including Bosnia, Namibia, Bali, Zimbabwe, Thailand and Portugal.

Estimates of the global street dog population vary considerably, with figures ranging from approximately 200 million to over 600 million. Many of these dogs need access to essential welfare interventions, including vaccination, veterinary care and neutering. Across the world, approaches to street dog welfare vary greatly, shaped by local policy, available resources and community attitudes towards animal care.

Capture teams commonly use humane methods, such as nets, to safely catch dogs so they can be tagged, vaccinated, neutered and returned to the location where they were found. Nets are often an effective tool because they allow the dog to be contained quickly and safely, helping to reduce the risk of injury to both the dog and the handler. Once the dog has been caught, the net can also provide temporary restraint while the dog is assessed, tagged or transported to a mobile veterinary clinic.
