Street dog rescue · Karachi, Pakistan
Sponsor a Street Dog
From £5 a month. Your sponsorship funds humane catch-neuter-vaccinate-return camps run by vetted partner vets — the evidence-based alternative to culling.
In brief
Sponsoring a street dog with WARN costs from £5 a month and funds CNVR — catch, neuter, vaccinate, return — run by vetted partner vets in Karachi, Pakistan. Sponsorship is pooled across the whole programme rather than tied to one dog, so your gift reaches whichever animal needs it most. You can cancel any time.
What your sponsorship pays for
Every figure below is what a gift funds the equivalent of, at WARN's actual programme costs in Karachi. Costs in the field move with security, fuel and drug supply, so we quote conservatively and round down.
| Monthly gift | Funds the equivalent of |
|---|---|
| £5/month | the equivalent of a rabies vaccination for 1 street dog, every month |
| £12/month | the equivalent of rabies vaccination for 3 street dogs, every month |
| £30/month | the equivalent of one full catch-neuter-vaccinate-return surgery every 3 months |
How CNVR works
CNVR means catch, neuter, vaccinate, return. Dogs are caught humanely, neutered and vaccinated against rabies by a qualified vet, marked so they are not caught twice, and returned to the exact place they came from.
Returning them matters: a neutered, vaccinated dog holds its territory and keeps un-neutered dogs out. Culling empties that territory and new dogs move in, which is why the World Health Organization is clear that culling does not control populations or rabies. Read more in what is CNVR and why dog culling does not work.
Inside a Karachi CNVR camp
A camp day starts before the heat does. Partner teams work the same few streets they have mapped for weeks, because the dogs there are known — which ones are pregnant, which are limping, which have already been ear-notched from a previous round.
Each dog caught is checked, sedated, neutered and vaccinated by a vet, then moved to a shaded recovery area and watched until it is steady on its feet. The ear notch goes in before it wakes. By evening every dog goes back to the street it was lifted from, and the map gets updated.
That repetition is the whole point. One camp does not fix a city; a programme that returns to the same streets, round after round, is what shifts the population and stops rabies spreading. Monthly sponsorship is what makes returning possible.
