Background: Bridging Lanka opened a donkey clinic in June 2018 to rescue and treat injured and maltreated donkeys. Three years ago we established the Hendro Animal Rescue Centre (HARC) to respond to: (a) the explosion of dogs and cats on the streets of Mannar; (b) the significant numbers of dog bites recorded at local hospitals, and (c) the real threat of human acquired rabies. Our goal became a ‘Rabies-free’ Mannar District, starting with Mannar Island.
Role: We are looking for a qualified vet who could fulfil the role of treating the animals in addition to training the on-site staff and helping to raise awareness about animal welfare.
