Hand to Paw Outreach
Hand to Paw Outreach is a group of animal-loving PTIS students, Grades 5-12, working together to promote a sustainable, healthy dog population at the temples in our surrounding community.
We believe the temples are an integral part of our community and the dogs that reside within those grounds are a community responsibility. With love and care we hope to provide these homeless street dogs a secure and healthy environment in which to live.
Our long-term goal is to educate both students and locals against animal cruelty and stress the importance that dog sterilizations, immunizations and basic healthcare can have on our community.
Required immunizations, sterilizations, medical and healthcare supplies and emergency medical treatments are all paid for by PTIS students’ fundraising efforts, donations from the public and the Care for Dogs Foundation.
The concept of the program has been favorably accepted by the head abbots and novice monks from our village temples along with the approval of village mayors and elders. Working together, we can make a difference!
