Medical Camps


In the absence of a physical location, till such time as the hospital construction was under progress, the Goa SPCA conducted monthly roving vaccination camps in the state of Goa. With the help of volunteer vets, Drs Kiran and Rashmi Rao, and donations of anti rabies vaccines.Over 250 Indian dogs were vaccinated against rabies free of cost in market areas in Mapusa, Porvorim, Panjim, and Margao during the monsoon months of July to September, 2001.

These vaccination camps around the state will continue at periodic intervals. Watch out for the advertisement announcements in the local papers, and do help to bring in your neighborhood animals. While the vaccinations are totally free for stray dogs and cats, we welcome a donation of Rs 80 only per vaccination for owners dogs provided they are of a mixed or local breed.

Public awareness

In addition to the workshops, and camps, the GSPCA encourages the animal welfare movement through mass media messages and articles. Do contribute to this website, which is one such expression of this endeavour. Lynn also does a regular column in the Gomantak Times Weekender. Her advertising background enables the Goa SPCA to use press advertisements effectively to inform the public about forthcoming workshops and events. Television commercials will soon appear. If you are of a creative bent of mind do write in to her with your ideas.
