It might seem conflicting at first: we deeply value Bali’s indigenous dogs — their history, resilience, and role in the island’s culture — and yet, we actively sterilise them.
The truth is, the key issue is overpopulation.
Bali Dogs have existed for thousands of years. They’re not commercially “valuable” like purebred dogs, but they are an irreplaceable part of the island’s living heritage. Sadly, many are left to survive on their own — unvaccinated, untreated, and breeding uncontrollably.
What we do isn’t about reducing their presence — it’s about reducing their suffering.
By sterilising, we’re not erasing them — we’re helping those who are here to live healthier, safer lives. We believe every dog deserves dignity and care, not a life of hunger, illness, or abandonment.
Through this work, we’re also promoting:
Believe us: we don’t want to do this forever. But until we reach a balance, this is the most humane way forward. And we still have a long way to go.
