Dogs Trust works with our partner charity, Worldwide Veterinary Services to provide all the canine expertise for their International Training Centres in Ooty (near Bangalore), and in Goa, India. The International Training Centres were set up to train vets and animal welfare workers to run Animal Birth Control programmes in order to humanely reduce the number of stray dogs.
The centres provide local and international veterinary professionals with the chance to develop practical surgery skills, increase their knowledge and learn best practice in animal welfare. Working with charities in local communities, our joint aim is to improve the health and welfare of all animals, with a particular attention to the eradication of rabies.

Mission Rabies began their Malawi project in Blantyre in 2015. A hospital in the city had reported the highest number of child rabies deaths anywhere in Africa. Dogs Trust Worldwide supports Mission Rabies to carry out mass vaccination campaigns across Blantyre, Zomba and Chiradzulu. Mission Rabies educational sessions are also supported by Dogs Trust Worldwide, aimed at empowering children, their teachers, and their families with the knowledge to protect themselves from bites, preventing rabies and saving lives.
Dogs Trust has been working in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2012 with humane dog population management. The team works using a combination of responsible dog ownership education, mass neutering campaigns for owned and street dogs, a veterinary training programme in conjunction with the vet faculty in Sarajevo, a fostering programme and running Dog School Bosnia to help local people to train their dogs. Since starting over 101,950 dogs have been neutered and over 343,051 children educated on being responsible around dogs.
