Saving street dogs in Mozambique
In April 2019, we were asked by Animal Welfare ILHA in Mozambique to urgently help them deal with massive tick infestations for the street dogs in their care.
One dog had tragically succumbed to preventable tick-borne diseases and many more were at risk of chronically suffering too.
Flea and tick treatments were quickly packaged up and dispatched – arriving in time to protect all of the dogs. This is just one example of how providing the most basic of supplies can end needless pain and suffering.
Axing pain for afflicted donkeys
When Tikobane Trust in Zimbabwe were using limited supplies to care for donkeys afflicted by horrific axe wounds, they turned to WVS for help.
The wound cream we sent was used to soothe the inflamed areas and promote healing, while the sterile dressings protected against infection.
We were delighted to receive an update in December 2019 informing us that all the wounds had healed fully.
