Community Dog Welfare Kopan
A local man called Kate to a male pup, about 3 months old, that had probably been hit by a motorbike in June 2015. Suman was curled up in a ball, with a severely broken hind leg, and one foreleg lacerated to the bone. Dr Sushil performed amazing surgery, realigning the bones in the hind leg with 4 pins, and …
Tenzing was brought into a spay Camp at Pashupatinath by his owners from Patan in March 2017. They handed him over to the staff and left. He had a venereal tumour the size of a football on his genitals. Kate was called. Tenzing was an amenable dog from the outset. Except for the tumour, he was in really good condition, …
Cashew and Bachi are two small, cute, tan and white dogs, and they arrived in August 2014. They are the sisters of Gogi. The girls and their siblings were brought to Kate’s house, tiny and dripping wet, by a local person who had rescued them from a hole in the wheat fields. They have managed to fit in with the …

They promised to take her back when she was healed. However, when the time came for her to return, the couple did not come back. As we …

He grew up with Tintin and they remained best mates until Tintin was adopted – they lived together in the same pen with the old Alsatian, Raja, playing happily throughout the day. Lekshey is a larger male, neutered …
In January 2018, Hagigo and his blue-eyed sister were brought to us by a local boy when they were just balls of fluff, maybe one month old. Boiling water had been deliberately poured over their backs and they both had terrible wounds. It took quite a long time for the wounds to heal. A Taiwanese lady saw pictures of the …
Peni was brought in from near Kopan Monastery at about the same time as Amitabha in December 2016. She was a tiny hairless pup – the offspring of an owned dog that also had severe mange. It was thought best to take her into care rather than leave her in the community in that condition. She was successfully treated at …
Jigme, Yeshe and Chokyi, three small terrier pups, were dumped at CDWK’s doorstep one evening in December 2016. Kate tried to pursue the owner so she could spay the mother dog, but to no avail.

Tammy, a terrified female dog with an advanced CTVT was found in Thamel by our friend, Linda, in March 2014. Another dog organisation was called but they would put her down.
