Please follow my journey along with Suchetana Roy to help vaccinate and sterilize dogs in Hooghly, Kolkata. Watch this video to follow our journey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j79ykT0YQAY
Our initiative is to be able to vaccinate (Rabies and DHPPI) and sterilize at least 50% of dogs in our small town which is more than 500. All our donations go directly to her in buying supplies and surgeries.
During my trip to India, I met this stray dog right next to my house suffering from mange, and external parasites infestation and met with an accident and couldn't walk straight. I knew I had to rescue this dog, but felt so helpless, there is no vet nearby, no rescue shelter. I begged for help but most people said No, letting the dog die a painful death. I managed to put a rescue team together. While taking her to the vet, I met a lady, Suchetana carrying a tub of dog food in a cycle. She stopped me and said she has been treating this dog for the last 1 week. After speaking to her, I started following her journey. She leaves home in the morning until evening and goes around feeding 150+ stray dogs and cats in our Hooghly town. She then medicates them and helps them defecate if they are unable to walk or do it themselves. She has treated 1000+ dogs herself. She works only on a donation basis. She has so far neutered 50 dogs. She lost her small business because she spent all her time rescuing and feeding these strays. All her food for dogs, medications comes from donation and begging.
She encountered a dog that was bit by another dog and was being eaten alive by maggots. She was able to treat him every day and now is 90% recovered.
Please follow her Facebook page to see the journey of rescuing dogs. It's my promise to her that I will do everything in my power to help her consistently neuter all dogs in our town, and help treat those in need. We don't have a clean supply of water here and animals are forced to drink the open sewage. Watch this video I made while following her on my trip.

She suffers from arthritis and is still on her feet day and night. Please help us. There is only one of her but thousands of strays.

1. What will be purchased by the funds/if fees are going to be paid, please write down a line or two as to who will receive the funds.
The funds will be received by the local rescue team lead by Suchetana Roy. The funds will be used to provide medical treatment of stray dogs, most importantly it will be used to vaccinate the stray dogs and cats for rabies and DHPPI. The most deadly diseases that kill stray animals slowly is distemper and parvo, and the only cure is prevention by vaccination.
The second most important use is to sterilize the dogs to control the population of strays so they don’t have to suffer the way they do today. Donations will also be used for cooking bulk food for feeding stray dogs who scavenge for survival in the trash.
2. Cost break-up of all the ways different portions of the funds will be utilized. It helps if it's added in the form of a short table as well.
