Sete Shiva is a young dog of around 5 months. We heard he was transported from near the Kathmandu airport and dumped in our area; he’s a parvovirus survivor, and a very happy one at that! After being kept 5 days in-patient at the vet clinic, and 10 days isolated in Kate and Doug’s bathroom, he has made a miraculous …
Lucky got off to an unfortunate start in life as she had been attacked by another dog, leaving a large wound on the back of her neck. We were immediately worried she could have contracted rabies from this, but luckily after a couple of days she was still recovering so it wasn’t the case. Now she’s a sweet and cuddly …
Chou chou was originally brought in on 4 June 2019 as a young dog after an accident left him with a fractured back right leg, and unfortunately contracted Distemper. He was cared for through recovery in Kate and Doug’s bathroom for four months and managed to survive this deadly disease. Unfortunately, he suffers with long-term effects, but is still a …
We stumbled upon little Gokarna whilst sadly burying another dog. Far away from other people, and with part of his intestine protruding from his anus, we knew he had been dumped. After two operations, our vet managed to fix his intestinal issues, and since then he has been a happy and thriving puppy. He loves to play with the other …
Sweetie, a small female dog, was rescued by an American woman and brought to the shelter in January 2013. She had CTVT and some mange.

Lady was brought into the centre by a faithful, longterm volunteer, Lydia, in March 2013, as a miserable pup – red all over, without much fur. She was treated in the shelter for severe demodectic mange for a prolonged period. Once Lady was healthy, spayed and vaccinated, we considered putting her back into the community where she had been found. …
In 2011, brown and white Goody was left with Kate when Susan, her owner, had to suddenly return to Australia for health reasons. Initially picked up from the street, Goody became a spoiled and much loved pet with her Australian owner over 2 years, such that she is not well socialized with other dogs. However, Goody had managed to adapt …
Rikki is a miracle! Kate met him in a crowded market, stumbling, falling, hairless, legs bowed from severe malnutrition: aimless and pathetic. Found to have tetanus as well, Dr Ghimire started intensive daily treatment. As Rikki progressed through the disease, his whole body became rigid, he was unable to move, dependent on syringe feeding. He learned to walk again with …
Gogi and 4 siblings were found by a local farmer deep in a hole in the fields during the rainy season in 2014. The farmer brought the pups to Kate in a basket, all shivering and wet. Kate did not think they would survive – but 4 did! Unfortunately, Gogi developed some sort of neurological problem which has left him …
In January 2014, Milly, a black and tan female, was brought in by Milly, an Australian visitor to Kopan Monastery, who asked Kate to take in the wee pup along with her brother Davy.
