The Hard Rock Hotel Bali is giving support to the Bali Street Dog Foundation (Yayasan Yudisthira Swarga) and their program to assist and relieve the suffering of unhealthy and neglected street dogs living in Bali.
Over 90% of street dogs in Bali suffer from a variety of painful and debilitating ailments including skin parasites and fungus, internal parasites, distemper, malnutrition, infected wounds and broken limbs. Bali Street Dog Foundation is committed to reducing the number of street dogs in Bali and significantly improving the health of the existing dogs.
The Bali Street Dog Spay / Neuter Program, established by Yudhistira approximately five years ago, has directly and indirectly reduced the street dog population growth in Bali. With the use of mobile veterinary clinics, the program can sterilize up to 100 street dogs per day. In addition, the dogs are provided with basic veterinary care for skin infections, wounds and parasites.
Bali Street Dog Foundation, a non profit animal welfare organization, is selling T-shirts to raise funds to support the operation of this program. The stall is located in-front of Hard Rock Hotel Bali’s Megastore, Jalan Pantai Kuta, Bali, every Wednesday and Thursday, from 1.00pm - 7.00pm.
