MUSCAT: The local authorities have officially announced the opening of bids for the rehabilitation of stray dogs in the region. This initiative aims to address the growing number of homeless dogs and promote their health and welfare. The rehabilitation process is expected to provide essential veterinary care, including vaccinations, treatment for infections, and sterilization to control the stray dog population. It also includes providing shelter, food, and a safe environment for the animals as they recover and re-integrate into society or are placed for adoption.
The program is designed to be comprehensive, involving various stages to ensure the long-term well-being of the dogs. After initial care and medical treatment, the dogs will undergo socialization and behavior training to help them adapt to living in households or, in some cases, be returned to the wild in a controlled manner. Animal welfare experts believe that this approach not only improves the lives of the dogs but also contributes to public health and safety by reducing the number of stray dogs in urban areas.
Interested parties, including animal shelters, veterinary organizations, and non-profit groups, are encouraged to submit their bids. The project is expected to be a long-term effort with a structured timeline for each phase of the rehabilitation. Officials have emphasized the importance of choosing experienced and reliable contractors who are well-versed in handling stray animals and can provide humane and effective rehabilitation services.
The initiative aligns with the region’s broader commitment to animal welfare and public safety. It is hoped that the successful implementation of the rehabilitation program will serve as a model for other areas struggling with the stray dog problem. Local residents and animal rights advocates have expressed their support for the program, highlighting its potential to improve the lives of both stray dogs and the community at large.
