The Story
Since I can not stand to see hungry dogs wherever I am, I always keep some dog foods on my motorbike. It does help to feed some strays that I meet on the road.
But most of Bali dogs like rice and chicken more than the factory-made food.
So, I have approached one local fast food outlet near my home. I asked them if they could keep all the left-over food which will be collected every evening.
In the morning, I will re-cook those left-over food and mix with rice. I put some spices as well and ensure that it was well cooked properly. I could make 10-15 portions everyday and go around to feed dogs. I start from my neighborhood and continue to another area in Ubud.
I know some people have told me that dogs can't eat fried/boiled bones. But seriously, they starve and rice + chicken with bones are better than nothing for them...
Since Covid Pandemic hit Ubud on March 2020, many places were closed. The fastfood outlet that I have relied on also had lost many of their customers, which quite affected the left-over food. Unfortunately, I also had to stop going around and fed the stray due to all the travel restriction and safety protocol.
Now, a year after, the passion and calling for caring my street friends are coming back again. Some of my previous "clients" -that's how I call them- disappears. Some are still in the same area and remember me. They are happy to see me again! I wish, with the help from you, together we can create a better and sustainable help for our stray friends in Ubud, Bali.
If you have enough and can donate, you can donate for food so I could keep continue to feed them daily.
I also will be very grateful if you can cover the cost for dog sterilization to manage the population in Bali. We can discuss further more on this :)
If you are a busy dog owner, you could hire me or my team to walk and play with your dogs, all profit goes for dog food supplies.
Even, if you only can share this information to your circle ~ that's already a very generous of you.
All supports are very welcomed and accepted!
There are a lot of another animal foundations, independent dog feeding, dog rescuers in Bali ~ Let's help each other, support each other and collaborate with one purpose, to help stray dogs have a better life and feel the love they deserve
