  • 24/7 Hotline and Ambulance ↗ — A round-the-clock emergency hotline and animal ambulance with veterinary staff that treat sick or injured animals on streets, beaches and in villages across Bali; the organisation reports more than 50 calls a day.
  • Rescue, Rehab, Rehome ↗ — Nurses sick, injured or abandoned animals back to health, then places them with adopters who are screened through interviews and home checks.

  • Program Dharma ↗ — A village-based One Health initiative with Udayana University that trains village leaders to survey and vaccinate dogs; it has also helped bring in village regulations banning the dog meat trade.
  • Primary School Education ↗ — A team of dedicated teachers runs primary-school lessons on dog health, behaviour, safety and bite prevention; the organisation reports reaching more than 500,000 children since 2017.
