Protecting Nepal's Indigenous DogsThe Dogs of Nepal
Temple Dog is a Canadian non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of Indigenous dogs in Nepal. Our areas of specialization include rescue, medical care, relocation, and disaster preparedness and response.
Rescue
Rescue, rehabilitation, and homing stray dogs has been at the core of Temple Dog since its inception in 2018. Temple Dog specializes in finding homes for Nepali dogs that can no longer survive on the street. We partner with local Nepali rescue organizations, veterinarians, shelters and independent rescuers and manage complex logistics to place our dogs in loving homes.
Disaster Response
Temple Doghouse is a flagship project serving remote mountain communities of Nepal.. Each “doghouse” is a home base or temporary camp built to serve Himalayan villages within a few days walk from one another and will store food and medical supplies for animals, and host veterinary and ABC camps. Our doghouses are built on the principles that knowledge and training passed down by example provides a highly effective learning experience for human and animal.
Research
We believe that change is led by long term observational research.
“Every dog deserves to live with dignity.”
