IDA
INDIA's own ambulance, Municipal Vans and Volunteers
bring in dogs for sterilization. Surgeries are performed
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Once fully recuperated
within 7 days, they are de-wormed and vaccinated against
rabies, and released back into the areas from where
they were picked up.
For identification, a tattoo mark is put on the inside
of the thigh, which gives a serial number. This number
appears on all the records. This way at any time in
future if a dog does come back to the center. His/her
past record can be easily located. Besides the dog's
ear is clipped while in anaethesia by cauterisation.
