Stray Forward Trap Neuter Spay (TNR)/Feeding/Medical Care project for strays in Saqqara

Catching a dog for spaying, especially when you don't want to sedate the dog, needs special skills, the right timing, teamwork and some good luck.

I am fortunate that the clinic that is doing the surgeries is near my house and working areas. When I spot a dog that needs spaying or neutering I give a call to the clinic and if I am lucky I find somebody to help me and transport the dog.

Today we had a special catch that didn't go as planned. I spotted a dog that was on the list for spaying and I tried to keep her with me offering her treats. I called Ahmed, the manager of the clinic, and he was on the road with his tricycle. He would come to me. But while I was waiting some kids told me that there was a tok tok at my door with a delivery. So I walked back home, the dog named Rafah following me to a certain point. So I asked the tok tok driver to watch her so I wouldn't loose the chance. Meanwhile Ahmed arrived and the dog was gone. So we decided I would give him a call once I found her. I thought I found her. A dog in the fields looking exactly like Rafah. But when I called her she didn't come. It turned out to be another dog, a male. I already called Ahmed to tell him I found her so I had to make this happen within 2 minutes. I ran into the fields and called her name and there she was, running up to me just in time. I could put a leash around her neck just when Ahmed arrived and we brought her over to the clinic.

I am always very serious and focused when I am catching a dog. I have a history. It took me 3!!! years to catch one of the dogs. Another dog I could never help sadly. She escaped after sedating her and even one time when we finally got her she escaped from the clinic. Every time I can catch a dog I am extremely happy and feel relieved.

Thanks to all the people that help me with catching and donate towards TNR. 🙏

Today we had a beautiful reunion. Puppy Mercy was released from the clinic where she spent five days after she got sick. Thank God it was not Parvo and she is doing well now. She got her first vaccination in the clinic that has to be repeated after 21 days. Today in the street we could vaccinate her brother.

Her mother Florence will get her spaying operation soon. One big happy family. Welcome back little Mercy.

Thanks to Ahmed Mohammed for giving her the best care and a joyful stay in the clinic. This whole experience made her socialise with people and other dogs. 💗

URGENT!

I have to get five girls off the streets for spaying. The donations I receive are barely enough to feed all the dogs in the streets. Therefor I have to fundraise for TNR separately.

In the picture you can see Florence. She had a litter at a very young age and before she gets in heat again we want to spay her. Florence is the mother of Mercy who is currently at the clinic after she got sick.

Then we have the three daughters of Rose. Rose was dumped in the streets with her litter I took care of them while they were residing in an Abri in front of my place. Now is the right time for spaying Sila, Rafah and Rumi.

Then there is another girl that recently joined one of the packs I am feeding that needs to be spayed.

To keep everything under control spaying and neutering is of vital importance.

Total costs to spay these five girls will be around Euro 110 Four out of five do not need to be sedated. which will bring the costs down. Three out of five already had a Rabies shot. The spaying package includes aftercare and an eartag. This is a very good non-commercial arrangement I could settle.

Who wants to help? With your help we can stop the cirkle of litter after litter in this area. 🐕🍀

With only Euro 10 I can keep one stray dog happy and healthy for an entire month. You don't have to feed them large amounts but I feed them every day at the same time on the same spots. This keeps them strong and healthy as you can see in the pictures.

Please help me to keep on feeding these precious dogs. With only Euro 10 per month one dog can live a good life in the streets with a full belly.

Today Folla has been released in the streets following her spaying operation.

With your donations we can help more dogs like Folla. Any stray dog we can help with neutering or spaying is a big win. 🐕🍀

Last night the clinic where puppy Mercy is staying sent me this video. They had a late night party and the puppies Mercy and Bohloz joined the other party animals. 🥳

Mercy's stay at the clinic is covered for now but we need to vaccinate her and her brother who is still in the streets with his mother, grandmother and uncle. To fully vaccinated them I need Euro 27. Who can help?

Mercy today. Doing so much better. 💗🌸

Most puppies that are born in the streets won't survive. They are vulnerable and being exposed to all kind of dangers. That's why TNR is so important.

Recently a young girl gave birth to 6 puppies in the area. I fed the motherdog and her babies. They all looked very healthy and strong. But then one by one they got sick. One day they had round bellies and next day they were like half their bodyweight. Four passed away before I could even help them. First I thought it was Parvo but it turned out to be something else like poisson or pesticides.

Two puppies remained but didn't eat well. The boy seemed to be stronger than the girl and resumed eating well. The girl however was visibly unwell until she stopped eating. She was hiding in the bushes to protect herself. I knew when I could not find her quickly she would die as well. The day before yesterday I searched for 3 long hours but could not find her. Yesterday morning with help from some neighbours we could find her sleeping in the fields curled up between the crops. I rushed her to the clinic where they treated her. She still did not want to eat or drink and was dehydrated. They gave her IV fluids.

Today when I went to see her she was walking around among the other dogs. Still skinny and weak but wagging her tail, drinking and eating. I named her Mercy after the place where they saved her life. From the brink of death to a walking puppy. Sometimes it can be a matter of one hour. When I wouldn't have found her in time she wouldn't have made it.

The other dog in the picture is Folla who will return to the streets tomorrow night after she was spayed recently.

You can see now why your donations are so important. They can safe lives and prevent newborns.

Today Folla had her spaying operation. No suffering in the streets for Folla having litter after litter.

Folla was dumped in the area at only 3 weeks old. She survived Parvo and a poisoning attempt.

TNR is the most important part of my mission. Please donate to help more dogs like Folla. Thanks for all the support so far.

I am always in euphoria when I can catch a dog for spaying. Witnessing so much suffering in the streets makes the catching of a dog feels like a huge reward.

Today we could catch Folla. Folla has gone through a lot at only 11 months old. She was dumped as a puppy in a cement bag near my place. One of the guards took Folla and her two siblings in at the garden of a villa. They were only 5 weeks old. Thank God they accepted the food we gave them. They were actually doing fine. Sadly one of her brothers died soon in an accident. Folla and her brother both got Parvo after their first vaccination but surprisingly survived with some support. Then some months ago her other brother and playmate passed away. Most probably being poissoned. And then recently Folla also got poissoned. When I would have find her half an hour later she wouldn't have made it. Late at night I rushed her to a clinic where she got the right treatment and she survived. At that time we couldn't spay her since she was not fit enough after the poisoning. But now it was the right time.

It was an easy catch. She did not need sedation. I could put a leash on her easily and we could get her in a tricycle for transport.

Be well dear Folla. The pack will miss you in the streets and so do I.💚🍀

The six puppies are doing very well and are growing bigger and bigger. I feed them twice a day.

Recently the dryfood has gone up in price by 20 percent. I am feeding the strays with home made fresh food but also dry food. Simply because fresh food is heavier in weight and I can't carry all in my trolly for 60+ dogs. I am currently doing 3 feeding rounds in different area's. One 20 kg bag of dryfood currently costs egp 1,200. (Ca. Euro 19). Please help out with purchasing food for the dogs.
