πΎ“Seabac Foundation: Street Dog Welfare & Rescue Project (Bangladesh)”
π― Project Objective
To rescue, feed, provide basic medical care, sterilize, and rehabilitate street dogs across urban neighborhoods in Bangladesh, ensuring humane treatment, population control, and community engagement.
π Key Components
1. Catch–Vaccinate–Sterilize–Return (CVSR)
-
Adopt a humane Animal Birth Control (ABC) model: capture street dogs, provide veterinary care, vaccinate (especially rabies), spay/neuter, and return them to their territories Dhaka Tribune+9MDPI+9Reddit+9Nishkriti+4Wikipedia+4Lagutogel+4.
-
Each dog is given a visible ear notch after treatment.
-
Focus on a defined area (ward-by-ward approach) to gradually cover entire urban zones.
2. Street Feeding Program (“Fill‑a‑Bowl”)
-
Set up regular feeding stations in targeted districts.
-
Provide nutritious food and clean water daily.
-
Collaborate with local volunteers and community groups to distribute meals efficiently Wikipedia+1Reddit+1StrayiCare+3Stray Dog Support+3Wikipedia+3.
3. Community Awareness & Education
-
Conduct workshops and street campaigns to inform communities about humane dog care, rabies prevention, and discouraging cruelty.
-
Work with schools, local institutions, and volunteers to spread awareness Robinhood Rescue.
4. Rescue & Shelter Services
-
Provide temporary shelter and veterinary treatment for injured or severely ill dogs.
-
Collaborate with shelters to rehabilitate and treat animals needing care.
π Expected Impact
-
Reduce stray dog population growth humanely through sterilization and vaccination.
-
Mitigate rabies transmission risk to humans.
-
Improve welfare of thousands of dogs through daily feeding, health checks, and safe shelter.
-
Build community support and volunteer base committed to compassionate street dog care.
πΎ Campaign & Sustainability Strategy
-
Monthly feeding campaigns using donor-supported funds (e.g. TK 50 feeds one dog) — like the Dhaka youth-led campaign that fed 150 dogs on first day and aimed for feeding 1,000 dogs in phase one Reddit+15Dhaka Tribune+15Dhaka Tribune+15LagutogelWikipedia+1MDPI+1Hands & Paws - Dhaka, BangladeshNishkriti+1Reddit+1Reddit.
-
Transparent fundraising cycle: Dona tions collected monthly → Impact report → Meals and services breakdown → Next phase fundraiser.
-
Adoption or foster programs where feasible, to rehome friendly and healthy dogs.
π Infrastructure Recommendations
-
Design kennels with concrete floors, raised platforms, sloped drainage for hygiene and safety Pashudhan Praharee.
-
Provide safe unloading/enclosure areas for capture and treatment.
-
Ensure fencing height and design prevent escape and ensure quiet resting spaces.
π Donor & Volunteer Engagement
-
Provide clear donation channels: NGO bank account, bKash number, or email/Campaign platform (Donorbox/PayPal). publicly update monthly results (e.g. number of dogs fed, vaccinated, sterilised).
-
Recruit community volunteers for feeding drives, awareness campaigns, photo/video documentation, and record-keeping.
-
Use public outreach: social media, blog posts, videos highlighting success cases.

-
Clear reporting & monthly cycles helps build donor trust (as used in Indian and Bangladeshi initiatives like Nishkriti Foundation and Doggo Sage) Dhaka Tribune+1Nishkriti+1.
π Next Steps
-
Define initial target neighborhoods in your city (e.g. two wards).
-
Partner with a veterinary team to begin a pilot CVSR phase.
-
Recruit local volunteers to run feeding stations 4–5 times/week.
-
Develop a monthly fundraising campaign and publish transparent reports.
-
Scale gradually: expand feeding routes, sterilization zones, and shelter capacity
