Care followed by a return to familiar territory
Himalayan Animal Rescue Trust, or HART, works with free-roaming dogs in Pokhara and Chitwan. Animals brought to its clinics are assessed, sterilised and treated for other conditions before returning to their original territory after recovery. Owners and community carers can also seek low-cost neutering, connecting population management with the people already looking after local animals.
Mobile camps bring technical help to municipalities
HART organises temporary vaccination and sterilisation camps with municipalities elsewhere in Nepal. These clinics attend both animals brought by owners and dogs collected from the streets. The organisation supplies technical capacity that local authorities may lack, while cooperation with veterinary schools and other animal-welfare groups forms part of its wider approach to reaching more communities.
Vaccination work is recorded ward by ward
During mass vaccination campaigns, staff walk through local wards, record injections in a dedicated mobile-phone application and revisit areas to improve coverage. HART also publishes information through the dogdata platform, bringing vaccination records together with census and neutering figures. These records make the programme more specific than a general vaccination appeal and help communities follow the work in their area.
Mutu and Maya bring street dogs into education
The characters Mutu and Maya, whose names mean Heart and Love in Nepali, help represent street dogs in public-awareness work. School and monastery sessions, leaflets, local media and municipal events address responsible ownership and living around dogs. Community questionnaires add another route for understanding residents’ attitudes and what they know about animal welfare and prevention.
A clinic and community network rather than permanent residence
HART’s low-cost clinic helps owners obtain treatment, vaccination and neutering. Sick or injured street animals needing extra nursing may stay for recovery, then return to their territory or a designated community carer. HART explicitly describes its role as different from a sanctuary: continuing care is connected to the neighbourhood, with public reports and local involvement helping the team respond.
