About fifteen puppies found happy owners in a Puppy 4 U adoption program

An abandoned aged pet dog was found entangled in the Iron fencing and it was late evening when we received the message. Two of our members, Anuraj and Rinu were able to rescue the animal successfully.

Shortly after our "Puppies for U" adoption day, we received news of a smaller litter of very beautiful, long-haired puppies: three female and one male. Professor Tankachy took them to her house, and called people on the puppy waiting list, and they took two! The remaining two, both female, have remained at Professor Tankachy's house, and have become good friends with the two adopted kittens that already live there.

People for Animals, Kollam Chapter had signed an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to the effect that People for Animals would undertake to organize an ABC (Animal Birth Control) with the Mayyanad Panchayat. The goal of the program was to spay or neuter 200 stray dogs in Mayyanad Panchayat area, a humane way of controlling the dog populations.

On February 24th, 2010, an ABC programme was conducted by PFA at Mayyanad Panchayat. This programme completed half of the MoU. It was a great success.

The veterinary doctors who performed the surgeries were: Dr. Ajith Pillai, Dr, Sajjay Kumar, and Dr. Shivaprasad, all from the Animal Husbandry department.

The excellent and capable dog catchers were brought from IPAN (India Project for Animal and Nature).
