ABC programme · with the municipality · Dehradun
Animal Birth Control is the only method that actually works and the law's own method: street dogs are picked up gently, sterilised and vaccinated by veterinary surgeons, given three days' recovery, and returned to the exact lane they know — ear-notched so nobody catches them twice. Dum Wale Dost runs this cycle in Dehradun with the municipal corporation and a licensed veterinary partner. This page costs one dog's cycle openly.
Surgeries happen under veterinary surgeons at a licensed facility, under the ABC Rules' protocols — this society's volunteers catch, comfort, record and return, and never cut. The ear-notch register is the programme's whole arithmetic.
For Residents who want fewer puppies and less rabies risk, humanely · Donors who fund surgeries and vaccine chains, not shelters of despair · Feeders and walkers who already know every dog on their lane
These four are promises this page makes on your behalf. Keep them or change them — they are not decoration.
Ways to give or join
Every figure is the programme's actual per-dog arithmetic at this year's rates: the veterinary partner's surgical fee, anaesthesia and sutures, three days of recovery feed and kennel care, the anti-rabies dose, the van's diesel. Government reimbursement rates exist and rarely cover the true cost — the card prices the true cost and says so.
One-time
Pickup, surgery by the partner vet, three days' recovery with food and meds, the rabies shot, the ear-notch, and the ride home to the right lane. The whole cycle, one animal.
One-time
Anti-rabies vaccination for the already-sterilised dogs of one lane — the booster round that keeps a notched lane protected between ABC cycles.
Monthly
Disinfectant, bedding, feed and the kennel-hand's wage share for the recovery room where every surgery becomes a safe return. Unphotogenic, indispensable.
Volunteer
Trained gentle catching, holding a frightened dog steady, the paperwork of the register, and the best part — the returns, when a notched ear trots back to its own tea stall. Training provided; patience required.
Volunteer
You already feed your lane's dogs. Partner with the rota: your lane's dogs get scheduled, you get them into the van calmly, and the corporation's helpline complaints about your lane get answered with a register instead of a rumour.
Pick the way you want to help and it lands in the form below. Picking another replaces it — this page records one intention at a time, not a basket. NO MONEY MOVES ON THIS PAGE: nothing is charged, deducted or collected here, and how giving actually happens is written under the form.
On the ground
No suffering imagery, ever — no wounds, no cowering, no before-shots taken for pity. These frames are placeholders for what donors actually fund: calm handling, clean recovery pens, and the return to the lane.
How giving actually happens
Paste the society's bank account name, number and IFSC here, and the UPI ID if you use one — exactly as the bank has them. State plainly that nobody collects cash for surgeries door-to-door in the society's name.
Words you have permission to print
A feeder, a volunteer, the partner veterinarian or a ward councillor, in their own words, with their name — collected with written permission.
Your honest record
Last quarter's registers, dated: dogs sterilised and vaccinated by ward, returns completed, complications and outcomes honestly included, money in and what it bought. The audited annual figures go here exactly as the auditor wrote them.
The frames above are placeholder photographs of the kind of work this page is about — not this organisation's own record, and never a person whose face buys sympathy. The slots below are deliberately blank: this is a template, and an invented beneficiary count, an invented donor or an invented 80G number would be a lie on a page asking people to give — and inventing the tax registration is an offence. Fill each slot with something real and checkable, then delete this line.
How it works
Three steps, and money moves only to the society's account, only against a receipt.
The form records what you picked and how to reach you. Nothing is charged here — this page cannot take money, by design. To report a lane that needs the rota, use the same form and say the ward.
Within the week, with the account details and receipt mechanics — or the training calendar for catcher-comforters, or your lane's likely rota month for feeder partnerships.
The quarterly sheet counts surgeries, vaccinations and returns by ward, complications included. The street-level audit is simpler: count the notched ears at your own tea stall.
Before you give
Because relocation is illegal under the ABC Rules and does not work: a vacated lane refills with unsterilised newcomers within months, and the relocated dog dies badly in territory it does not know. A sterilised, vaccinated, returned dog holds its lane, breeds nothing, and the numbers fall the slow honest way.
Veterinary surgeons at the licensed partner clinic, under the ABC protocols, with the society's MoU with the municipal corporation in the office file. Our volunteers are trained catchers, comforters and record-keepers — the bright line is that volunteers never do anything clinical.
The register says, ward by ward and quarter by quarter, with returns and complications in their own columns — and those columns are why the first one can be believed. We do not carry a lifetime counter; we carry a register the corporation itself audits.
No — but do report it through the form with the ward, because a bite triggers the protocol: the dog is caught, its vaccination status checked against the register, observed as the rules require, and the person directed to immediate medical care. What the law does not allow anyone is disappearing the dog.
Only if the 80G cell at the top carries a current number, checkable on the income-tax portal. The office shares the certificate before any transfer; an empty cell means ask first.
The one thing this page asks
One form, one intention — money, weekends, or your lane on the rota. The office replies within the week; nothing is charged or collected here.
You want to help with
Nothing yet — pick a way to give above, or say it in the form.
Three required fields: a name, a way to reply, and which of four very different conversations this is — a donor, a trainee, a feeder and a worried resident need four different replies, and the last one sometimes urgently. Deliberately absent: any amount field, any PAN (that belongs with the 80G receipt at donation time), and any payment field — this page records intentions and takes nothing.
Your details go to the society's office for this one reply and the rota if you joined it. Feeder details are never shared with complainants, and vice versa. Nothing is sold.
