In Bali, the cycle of overpopulation continues as thousands of dogs are born into lives of hardship every year. Without access to sterilization, their numbers grow, leading to more cases of malnutrition, disease, abandonment, and conflict with humans.
For many local families, the cost of sterilization is out of reach. With economic challenges making it difficult to afford even basic pet care, unplanned litters become an overwhelming burden, often resulting in puppies being abandoned on the streets. Stray dogs, in turn, face even harsher conditions, competing for food and shelter in an environment where resources are scarce.
Sterilization is the most effective and humane way to break this cycle. By preventing unplanned litters, we reduce suffering at the source, giving existing dogs a better chance at healthier, safer lives. Through community-driven sterilization programs, we aim to provide free and low-cost procedures, ensuring that owned and stray dogs alike receive the care they need. This is not just about population control, it’s about creating lasting change for Bali’s dogs and the people who care for them.
