Our vision is a world where Indigenous and other dogs of Nepal live with respect and dignity. Temple Dog was created to bring compassion and relief to free-roaming dogs who are the victims of purposeful cruelty, neglect and disasters. We believe that all dogs deserve to be protected from harm, rescued when they are injured or unsafe, and provided for when they can no longer survive on their own. https://www.templedogrescue.com/home daily 1.0 2023-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea07de1c1a8f3764ccd9f1d/8b053873-087a-4e52-af40-60f4b112055c/DSC09461.jpg Home - Temple Dog 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 find our dogs a loving home. As part of our programs in Nepal TDR funds animal birth control, and infectious disease treatments. The focus of TDR’s work has evolved to include DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) while maintaining our core value that every dog deserves to live with dignity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea07de1c1a8f3764ccd9f1d/bf97dab2-a635-459b-b809-e48e21c4ddf5/DSC02522.jpg Home - Temple Doghouse Project 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea07de1c1a8f3764ccd9f1d/74fd1947-caa1-4d9d-8a03-5741d5dc7dfe/DSC07852.jpg Home RED is an acronym for Research, Education and Development. We believe that change is led by example and our programs address the relationship between humans and animals in the nucleus of their lives, the home. We teach skills to dog owners and dogs, to improve the understanding, communication and trust between them. Temple Dog also leads media campaign creation in Nepal, creating messaging to benefit dogs and humans, to relieve suffering, educate about dog care and nutrition, and provide educational resources to local people. https://www.templedogrescue.com/our-team daily 0.75 2026-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea07de1c1a8f3764ccd9f1d/1588089579108-92YHO5VGO1JW0UP1CW3P/head+shot-2.jpg Our Dog Rescue Team - Lesley Mapstone Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Since 2018, when Monica and her family moved to Kathmandu, she became actively involved in rescuing and fostering Nepali street dogs. However, when the global COVID pandemic brought a total lockdown in Nepal for almost a year, Monica shifted gears to become immersed in helping street dogs in her locality. This included feeding, treating, nursing and arranging sterilizations. Many of her fosters spent several months in the safety of her home to heal both physically and spiritually, preparing them for local adoption or to fly fly them out to wonderful new lives through rescue groups like Temple Dog Rescue. When not rescuing and fostering dogs, Monica is an independent consultant and public health specialist that has worked with various international organizations over the past 25 years. She and her husband have lived all over the world with their two children - now teenagers - who seem to have inherited their mother’s love of dogs. https://www.templedogrescue.com/temple-dog-house daily 0.75 2022-06-16 https://www.templedogrescue.com/temple-dog-rescue daily 0.75 2026-10-03 https://www.templedogrescue.com/temple-dog-red daily 0.75 2022-06-16 https://www.templedogrescue.com/vision daily 0.75 2026-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104781616-ZEM8L209EABQAFI2ZOZ0/imgg-demo-qs29Y0Ih.jpg Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104781619-EPI4TWEZ3AG1N10L9UIC/imgg-demo-nLRbokBp.jpg Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104781623-DGTAO9NX3OTYBHTTBTMJ/imgg-demo-dr4UJ5bT.jpg Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104781626-M1SKQ61NMXC540MDKFD4/imgg-demo-nD6Pzw4T.jpg Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea07de1c1a8f3764ccd9f1d/fcb9c4d4-1b4f-4802-9e85-cae3b373f7f6/Kat-027.jpg
