BARK’s first attempt at changing the conditions of Ma’a City Pound was very straightforward: Start feeding the starving residents. We are grateful to Handyman for donating 200+ kilograms of Bow Wow Dog Chow. Below are some pictures of day number one (January 24th) of the mass feedings.

Days 2 and 3: Installation of permanent feed bowls. The government has no budget to put makeshift containers like these into cages, let alone fill them with dog food.
One for food, one for water
Without water bowls like this, dogs quickly become dehydrated at the pound

Day 4: The City Veterinarian’s Office no longer allows BARK to take pictures in the pound. The feedings will continue.
Day 7: More pictures of the inmates.
