Embark's fourth mass-CNVR project in Sri Lanka was launched in
Dambulla. Embark collaborated with the Brigitte Bardot Foundation to
make these projects a success and worked with Best Care Animal Hospital,
TAPA Sri Lanka, Four Paws Animals Hospital, Municipal Councils, local
authorities and individuals that supported some of the work. Embark
provided medical care to 14,459 street dogs and performed 3,464
sterilisation surgeries, 5,788 anti-rabies vaccinations, 644 treatments
for injured animals and found new homes for 473 puppies between April
2015 and March 2016.
"We are happy with the momentum that has been achieved and the
expanded geographic reach of our activities in the concluded year.
We are thankful to the many caring individuals who are keen to make a
difference for the Sri Lankan street dog," Embark founder Otara
Gunewardene said.
Embark's brand presence grew in 2015, with the opening of its first
stand-alone store in Galle.
The opening of three other stand-alone stores at the Kandy City
Centre mall, the BIA and at Dickman's Road, Colombo 5, followed just
months later.
