Homs Tackles Stray Dogs

The Pet Animal House Association, in cooperation with Homs Governorate and the health and veterinary authorities, is carrying out a program to address the issue of 1,800 stray dogs in the city, at a rate of 600 dogs per month. This is a planned target, not a completed total; previous efforts have provided services to more than 500 dogs. The program involves identifying and documenting dog populations, followed by examinations, surgical sterilization, and rabies vaccination. Its aim is to limit breeding, reduce the risk of bites, and protect public health, rather than resorting to poisoning or indiscriminate killing. Dogs that pose no danger are returned to their locations after receiving medical care, while aggressive dogs or those unable to survive on the street are assessed individually. The program emphasizes the need for ongoing coordination and monitoring to ensure a sustainable approach that protects public safety and treats animals humanely.
