WHAT WE DO

 Ssengendo animal shelter

works in a region where animals have no rights, and people have not been informed about animal welfare/health, management care, and the benefits, sighting the dangers of neglecting animals. Because animals and people live in close proximity, diseases such as rabies and conditions such as parasite infestation affect both animals and people. The health and well-being of people is directly linked.

Our goals are to Sensitize, Educate, rescue, protect and improve the lives of animals in Uganda. In order to achieve these goals, H.F.A.U puts into consideration a number of activities and guiding principles as seen here-under;

We support and enhance the sheltering of homeless dogs and cats at household and community levels, this has led to a great reduction in the killing of homeless dogs and cats on roads and through food poisonings.

We have established community networks to continuously supply information and awareness to the population regarding pet’s purposes and management.

We sensitize the communities on animal birth control methods to reduce over proliferation. This is done at both household, community, and district levels through our public sensitization network.

It was born out of Community concern for animals living in cruelty, abandoned and with passion for animals and educating communities where animal welfare and rights are not primary concern.

Dog welfare and population management program;

We support and enhance the sheltering of homeless dogs, puppies and cats at household and community levels, this has led to a great reduction in the killing of homeless dogs and cats on roads and through food poisonings. Animal population management through Spaying and Neutering which is very important to prevent countless unwanted puppies from being thrown away.

​

Rabies vaccination, We organize static health camps and vaccinate dogs and cats against rabies to save the lives of dogs and prevent infection to the population. Unvaccinated animals roaming in towns are suspected of spreading rabies, we have seen victim dogs beaten severely or killed after reports of dog bites. This has caused chaos and we need to do something to protect the animals and promote healthy communities, free of rabies and other related diseases.
