As we prepare to start construction on staff accommodation at our new camp, we want to get ready to move our demonstration farm and livestock guarding dog (LGD) training facility too. Thankfully, the farm we bought already has a livestock enclosure that we will be able to modify for our demonstration farm. But we still need to develop safe areas to house our LGD puppies during training before we deliver them over to farmers. We have learned a lot from the recent shutting down of our LGD training centre due to a nation-wide parvovirus outbreak, and the plans for our new LGD training facility include a hygienic quarantine area for new incoming puppies, to reduce the risk of diseases transfer to our demonstration farm and other LGDs. This will ensure that our LGDs remain in the best health, and that we can continue to place LGDs with farmers who are experiencing conflict with carnivores.
As well as the LGD quarantine and housing areas, this facility will also include a veterinary clinic. This clinic will give us a clean and hygienic environment to care for any puppies, LGDs, or livestock that are in need of medical assistance. This facility will also provide a safe environment to tend to any injured or orphaned cheetahs that come into our care.
The facility will include:
• sanitary puppy quarantine facility
• dog houses
• weather-proof shading that enables good ventilation
• a veterinary clinic to attend to all puppy, dog, livestock and cheetah needs
• a storage area for equipment & veterinary supplies.
We need your help to make this facility a reality! For the month of July, we aim to raise $15,000 to build our brand new LGD Puppy Training and Care facility.
If you love our LGD programme as much as we do, this is your chance to become a lasting part of it! Help us to build our new LGD training facility by making a donation via this link. No amount is too small.
From all of us at the CCB team, the farmers and from all the puppies – thank you for your support!
