Little Kale

A little mangey pup, full of parasites and in poor condition, he was abandoned at the centre one night in 2012. He recovered quickly to treatment, care, affection and good feeding. Although fully vaccinated, he developed a mild case of distemper from a local dog, which meant he had to be kept in isolation for a full five months. Happy …

Kale 4

Kali Oct 2024

One day in 2016, Kate noticed a miserable, severely malnourished, male dog, standing at the end of the track leading to the house. He was also suffering from demodectic mange. Kate was unable to take him in for a few days but he remained waiting. He was a young, black dog of about 2-3 years with a collar – evidently …

Billy

Billy arrived at the centre in very poor condition in March 2014. He was severely malnourished, being the lone surviving pup of an elderly mother suffering from CTVT. He had to be taken off mum so that she could be treated with chemotherapy (she is still living, contented and healthy, with a daughter from a previous litter, at a local …

Polly and Poppet

These two cute black labrador type pups were picked up by a tourist and left at her guesthouse in December 2015. The guesthouse did not want them, so they were brought to Kate. As no-one knew where the pups had come from, Kate was obliged to keep them. They were about 6 months old. Polly and Poppet could not be …

Prince Kale

This forlorn, terrified, severely emaciated dog, with startling blue eyes and hardly any fur, was found staggering along in the middle of the road.  We were horrified at his condition – he did not even look like a real dog – so spooky to behold! Prince Kale was diagnosed with severe tick fever, mange, and liver damage, as well as …

Asha

Samantha Edgar visited our centre in May 2017 and fell in love with little Asha.  But Asha was not microchipped or vaccinated for rabies, so Asha couldn’t travel when Samantha left.  In July little Asha flew all the way to Vancouver as cargo, poor thing, but arrived safely, where she was met by Shelley Adam, a friend of Samantha’s, who …

Tiger

Tiger is one of the longest remaining residents at the centre. He is CDWK’s logo dog! One day, back in 2010, while Kate was on her way to the vet, she stopped the taxi for an injured dog – there was Tiger, lying stunned in the middle of the road with a deep gash across his back. Concerned local people …

Sangpo

Sangpo made an amazing transformation from a miserable, lifeless dog, curled up waiting to die, to a bouncy dog with a zest of life. In June 2017, Kate was called to see Sangpo by a local woman in Ramhiti, who had tried, unsuccessfully, to get other dog charities to come. Kate made an on-the-spot decision to take him in, rather …

Lucy

Lucy is a very special dog, she was brought in by a Nepalese school student as a 5-6 month old pup in April 2016. She had been in a road accident and her hind quarters were severely smashed with significant bone damage to her hind legs. Dr Sushil wanted to put her down but felt that she deserved a chance …

Puche

Puche

This little pup was brought in with a broken foreleg in 2009. The foreleg was treated and healed well. He was then lucky enough to be adopted by a Belgian monk and went to live at a children’s home in Godavri. He stayed there happily with the children for over three years. Sadly, when the children’s home was forced to …
