This is an urgent appeal for a compound for our 'special needs' dogs. We believe in giving injured animals, mainly from accidents on the roads, a chance of life and provide veterinary care, recuperation and rehabilitation. Sadly, spinal/other injuries resulting in hind leg paralysis are quite common in Sri Lanka. We give regular physiotherapy and hydrotherapy with the hope of getting these dogs mobile again.We have had many successes with helping paralysed animals to walk again. We also buy carts for those dogs that are unable to mobilise independently, so they can get out and about with their friends at the sanctuary and enjoy a quality of life they deserve. We are currently caring for many disabled dogs and pups and desperately need another compound so they can rest and sleep in comfort and safety without sustaining injuries such as drag wounds. The compound will be tiled and will incorporate an outdoor, partly sheltered, area too.

Donations towards this compound would be greatly appreciated.
