Back out to the Ramla area where we know there are street dogs. We don't always see the dogs because it is so hot so they go into the banana plantation nearby to stay cool. We leave food for them in the shade so when they come out in the evening there will be something for them to eat.

This little girl from the Colossi of Memnon has recovered well after being spayed at the AWOL centre and has now returned to her familiar surroundings. Our TNR program is ongoing and whilst we can only trap and neuter a small number of dogs at a time we are making progress. Catching just one dog can take hours - we are a small charity and receive no help or funding from any other organisation or authority.

It's warming up in Luxor and is currently 40°c so our resident dogs are having lovely cooling showers. Little tripod is the lucky first recipient! After they're dry they'll get their regular flea and tick treatment.

There is a lot of publicity around the government's claim that they will be carrying out TNR and putting dogs in safe shelters. We can only say that we hope this is true but past experience does not fill us with hope. AWOL has tried to involve the local government in TNR in the past with no success so we are doing it ourselves. Unfortunately being a small charity we can only trap a few dogs at a time but we keep trying because no-one else is.

Our outreach team have been very busy today treating the calleche horses in Luxor town. We treated 31 horses for minor conditions, worms, and mange and covered their nose chains with soft wraps to make them more comfortable.

If you are determined to take a calleche tour of Luxor town please have a look at the horse first. If it is in poor condition point it out to the owner and walk away. Loss of earnings is the best way to encourage these owners to look after their horses correctly. Some owners are better than others when it comes to the care of their horses.
