Why This Matters
Advocacy for Lasting Change
Our work goes beyond individual animals. We engage policymakers and the public through legal advocacy, public forums, and awareness efforts to promote humane animal population management.
We are working toward making TNVR a national standard for community dog management, helping create safer communities while reducing unnecessary suffering.
In many places, culling is still used to manage stray dogs. It is cruel and costly, and it doesn’t work long term, because new dogs move in and the cycle continues. TNVR offers a proven, humane alternative that stabilises dog populations, cuts rabies risk and builds trust between people and animals. Your support helps us run awareness campaigns, push for policy change, and show local authorities that compassion and public safety can go hand in hand.
Our Approach
Moving Away From Cruel Population Control
CDF opposes cruel and ineffective methods of dog population control, including poisoning and culling. We legally challenge these practices and advocate for a more humane alternative: TNVR — Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, and Release.
01
Trap
Dogs are safely and humanely brought in so they can receive the care they need. Our trained teams use gentle handling methods that keep stress low and avoid injury. Every dog is treated with patience and respect from the moment it comes into our care.
02
Neuter
Neutering helps control population growth and reduces the number of unwanted litters. Qualified veterinarians carry out each procedure under proper medical care and hygiene standards. Over time, this means fewer puppies born onto the streets to face hunger, disease and suffering.
03
Vaccinate
Vaccination helps protect community dogs from preventable diseases and supports healthier communities. Each dog gets an anti-rabies vaccine, which lowers the risk of rabies spreading to people and other animals. This is a key part of our One Health approach, protecting animals and humans together.
04
Release
After recovery, dogs are returned to their familiar communities rather than being permanently removed. Each dog is monitored until it is healthy enough to go back to the area it knows. Calmer, healthier and vaccinated dogs help build safer, kinder neighbourhoods for everyone.
