We, a bunch of avid animal lovers hailing from Nepal, have always been passionate about helping animals in need. Whether it be by volunteering, making donations, or sharing stories, we have made individual efforts to raise awareness about strays roaming in Nepal’s streets. Growing up on different parts and streets of Nepal, we have seen how stray animals are treated - while some people are kind and offer food and medications to these animals, others are not so merciful. We have seen strays being beaten up for just merely being themselves. With no families to turn to and no stable source to meet their basic needs, the strays are often seen begging to live their lives, and trust us, it is not a great scene at all!
The strays of Nepal have found hope now that several animal welfare agencies are working for their rights. It makes our hearts smile and be at ease to see them caring for the strays who have no voice of their own. We continue to make our efforts; however, lending individual effort is not always enough given the scope of work that needs to be done and the number of helping hands required. To raise awareness about Nepal’s wandering strays and generate donations to assist animal welfare agencies in Nepal, we have come together and established the Stray’s Haven Foundation.
Stray's Haven Foundation is a charity organization that aims to educate people worldwide and raise awareness about stray animals' conditions in Nepal. We have formed partnerships with Animal Rescue/Welfare organizations in Nepal. We will channel funds raised by donations to these institutions to provide food, shelter, and medications to stray animals, and eventually get them adopted into loving forever families.
We work in partnership with animal welfare and rescue organizations in Nepal that treat, rescue, and provide shelter to stray animals. Our current affiliations are:
1. KAT Centre
2. Shree's Rescue Animal Nepal
3. I Care You
4. Paaila
5. Sankalpa
6. All Care Nepal
7. Let's Care Nepal(LCN)
We will keep on updating the list as soon as our partnerships and collaborations with other entities are finalized.
We raise awareness about strays’ conditions and sufferings in Nepal by educating people through organizing public awareness programs. We also participate in various campaigns for World Animal Day and World Rabies Day celebrations to raise awareness to the public. Likewise, we continuously share educational content related to the Strays conditions in Nepal through our social media posts including videos and articles on a regular basis.
Strays in Nepal are often the victims of abuses that include horrific cruelty and violence by the locals. Every day there are plenty of injured animals due to being hit and run by vehicles. They suffer severe wounds, illness, cruelty, and abandonment where they have to go through a lot of pain and starvation. Our rescue and medical program will provide both professional medical help as well as human care to those sick, injured, and abandoned strays based on their individual cases.
With your continued support and funding, we would be able to rescue more innocent souls through medical treatment.
Abandoned pets and strays do not ask for much. All they need is another chance. Each year this chance has given hundreds of animals a new life through our adoption program. By rehoming a pet, you not only provide them with their forever home but also rescue them from their hard life on the streets.
We run a mandatory screening process for every potential adoption to ensure that our rescued animals do not fall into the wrong hands and it goes well with the pet and the family.
With our adoption and sponsorship programs, we raise funds to provide forever homes to the strays through adoption or through sponsorship. Please contact us if you're interested, by sending an email to info@strayshaven.com.
Over tens of thousands of strays are living in the streets of Nepal struggling to survive every day as they have no access to food, water, and shelter. We can witness all of them being malnourished and in ill health due to lack of availability of food which leads them to starve to death. There are a lot of newborns wandering around the street with no mother to look after, no food and shelter to survive. This is the reason we hear a lot of injured strays’ cases, sick and medical help cases due to poor health conditions.
We run a sustainable feeding program where we collect funds to provide donations to various animal rescue centers in Nepal to overcome the extreme risk of malnutrition and death. Due to a lack of fundings from the government of Nepal for the Strays Animal welfare, we work in collaboration with various Strays animal rescue shelters to help them meet the basic need of rescued animals in the shelter.
We believe the way out of an overgrowing population of Stray dogs in Nepal is through sterilization and vaccination. We, in collaboration with animal welfare organizations in Nepal, participate in collaborative Animal Birth Control (ABC) campaigns focusing on control and management strategies for the Strays including spaying, neutering, and vaccination campaigns. Sterilization mainly involves the spaying of females and the castration of male dogs so that they do not reproduce.
Vaccination involves giving the dogs anti-rabies and distemper shots. After sterilization, those strays would not be able to reproduce and hence their population becomes stable. As they are vaccinated against Rabies and other diseases, they do not pose any health hazard which allows them to live their lives in a more harmless and healthier way.
