Bali Animal Welfare Association

 There were dogs everywhere, barking to warn us of their territory, while walking 15 minutes down the busy street, dodging motorbikes, people, and vehicles that would barely touch you when passed by. Sweat pouring down my back. Finally we've reached BAWA. 


Abandoned pups. Found in a rice bag.

 Tabitha giving an intractable Bali dog his rabies vaccine. Special handling and restraint should be performed to prevent getting bitten. Bali dogs are NOT used to be restrained or caged. These are a different kind of dog from what we are used to in the Western world...

A Balianese youth bringing his dog to BAWA to get neutered. BAWA doesn't consider itself a veterinary clinic, but a place where donations can be made for population control for people who cannot afford it. Bali people get free service. People with money go to the veterinary hospitals in town.
