Back in February our friend Sathsarani wrote us about a litter of 5 puppies who had recently been dumped in Sri Lanka.
She took them to the vet (inside a cute blue basket!) and they had their first medical check up.

Over the course of the next few months Sathsarani took the pups back to the clinic for follow up appointments.
Sadly 2 of the pups did not survive. It’s very hard being a Sri Lanka street dog, but thankfully this litter has a guardian family who keep an eye out for them on the street.

Fast forward and six months later the dogs were just sterilized and one was even adopted!
It takes dedication (and a lot of love!) to help street dogs over the course of 6 months. The 3 dogs are now sterilized and fully vaccinated - giving them the best chance of survival. Sadly, something that isn’t offered to many of the Sri Lanka street dogs.
