Enjoyed my week being with the disabled dogs. And they all  just keep amazing me, and have become so responseive to some extra love and attention.. when they all come to me it reminds me of a group of seals how they move as there back legs aren't working or don't have any..but do all that any dog would do. I often think wow if I could get all these disabled dogs and there carts out to people all around the world what a incredible  healing power they have for so many, in turn what they would receive, not that they don't have a wonderful quality of life here but they all have so much to GIVE.
The vets have been busy doing health checks on all dogs in our top dog compound area 500 of them plus all 50 disabled dogs I work with ..how do they do it ONE AT A TIME..They do them every 2 to 3 years shave  abit on there backs once done.
The situation with dog adoptions here is the opposite to what I saw in India unfortunately. Maybe some puppies get adoption or a dog but not really a big amount by any means... Sri Lankas don't really have a connection with dogs here in a big way. They think they are dirty and many are scared of them but don't want to touch them. Even staff ask the vet to come and look at there dog but they cant pick it up to bring it in..or someone interested in a dog cant come and pick it up..
How do you change something like this for the future for dogs here.
SOS is starting at first to  go into schools which they have done some already but need to teach them English and first get at the next generation..... also need money and most of there money goes to the care of the dogs already rescued..
SOS have purchased some more land as you can see there numbers will continue to grow as a slow change can happen..
Finish at SOS this Friday then have a week still in Sri Lanka to have a bit of a look around until heading back to India...
Want to make the most of my week left with all theses doggies before another goodbye...
