Dogstar is not a big charity, in fact it costs us on average just £35 a day to feed all our dogs, run outreach mobile clinics , provide free sterilizations, vaccinations, and veterinary treatment & medication.  No amount of money raised for Dogstar is ever too small and it can be a life changing sum for the vulnerable dogs and cats in Sri Lanka we help daily

In July 2010 we signed a lease on a local property that we use as a part time fixed clinic , base for our mobile clinics and accommodation for vets and visitors/volunteers. There was approx £1000 worth of work done on the property which the 3 trustees funded privately (so your donations didn’t get spent on security grills for example ) the rental and running costs of this property are included in the £35 a day costs. Previously we were offered land with permission to construct a purpose built hospital on but even with donated land the build costs involved were at least $30000 US and with a global recession plus fluctuating exchange rates it remains a potential option longer term but not one that would make any immediate difference or offers best value short term

We believe are a very efficient and cost effective Charity and we can do so so much with £35 a day. Additional donations result in more animals treated and vaccinated, more animals sterilized and more litters of unwanted animals prevented. In short an extra £10 or £20 a day would help us reduce and prevent even more Sri Lnakan animals suffering

Can you help?, Do you have any fundraising or PR experience, media connections, or can help provide veterinary equipment or supplies?  please contact us at info@dogstarfoundation.com if you need further details or information
