A Lifeline for Bhutan’s Abused Animals
In Bhutan, animals often face a culture of extreme abuse and neglect. At Zeus Nakulu Dog Shelter, we are dedicated to changing this harsh reality by providing a lifeline for these vulnerable animals. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and give them the chance at a better life.
The Challenge
- Culture of Abuse:
- Widespread Neglect: Many animals in Bhutan suffer from neglect and abuse, living in harsh conditions without adequate food, shelter, or medical care.
- Misunderstanding: The native breed, the “Pariah Dog”, is often misunderstood and mistreated, contributing to their suffering.
- Barriers to Adoption:
- Reluctance to Adopt: Due to misconceptions about their nature, there is a significant reluctance among the local population to adopt these animals, leaving many without homes.
Our Efforts
- Rescue Operations:
- Immediate Care: We respond to cases of abuse and neglect, providing immediate medical attention, food, and shelter to rescued animals.
- Safe Haven: Our shelter serves as a safe haven for abused animals, offering them a chance to recover in a loving and secure environment.
- Rehabilitation Programs:
- Healing and Recovery: Through our rehabilitation programs, we help animals heal both physically and emotionally, preparing them for a better future.
- Behavioral Training: We work with animals to address behavioral issues resulting from abuse, helping them become more adoptable.
- Adoption and Awareness:
- Finding Homes: We tirelessly work to find loving homes for rehabilitated animals, ensuring they are placed in environments where they will be cared for and cherished.
- Community Education: We educate the local community about the importance of humane treatment of animals and the benefits of adopting rather than buying pets.
