World Rabies Day | 28 September

Today, on World Rabies Day, the HART team is out in Ward No. 33, Bagmara, Pokhara, conducting our annual anti-rabies vaccination camp.

Preventing rabies is an ongoing effort. It starts in our communities, with vaccination, awareness and working together to protect both animals and people.

Every dog vaccinated is one more step towards a rabies-free community.

Rabies is preventable.
Vaccination saves lives.
And prevention begins in our communities.

World Rabies Day 2026 | September 28

Every year on September 28, we celebrate World Rabies Day to remind ourselves that rabies is a deadly but preventable disease. This year’s theme, “Stronger Together,” reminds us that by working together, we can help prevent rabies and protect both people and animals. While rabies can affect mammals such as dogs, cats, foxes, horses, bats and mongooses, around 99% of human rabies cases are caused by dog bites. At HART, we believe in the simple message, “No Babies, No Rabies.” Every day, we work towards preventing rabies through neutering and vaccination, and through school awareness programmes, we help students understand rabies prevention, animal welfare and safe interaction with animals.

This World Rabies Day, we are putting this message into action with a 3-day rabies vaccination programme starting today in Ward No. 33, Bagmara, Pokhara. By vaccinating street and community dogs, we can help protect them and the communities they live in. Every vaccinated dog is a small but important step towards preventing rabies. Together, we can make a difference and move closer to a rabies-free future.

A NOTE OF THANKS 🤍🐾

Once again, Abby and Tyson have left their paw prints at HART.

In their loving memory, we received mattresses, meat, and a sack of rice for the animals in our care. These thoughtful gifts will bring comfort and nourishment to many animals who need it.

Abby was once cared for at HART, and it is incredibly special to see her memory continue to reach animals here, now alongside Tyson.

Their love continues to make a difference, one paw at a time.

Thank you for keeping the memory of Abby and Tyson alive in such a beautiful way. We are truly grateful.🤍🐾

📖 Black Beauty Now Being Translated into Nepali

HART is delighted to share news of a meaningful initiative that will make Anna Sewell’s classic novel Black Beauty available to a new audience in Nepal.

First published in 1877, Black Beauty is one of the best-known animal welfare stories ever written. Told through the eyes of a horse, the novel helped generations of readers understand the suffering and hardships experienced by working animals and encouraged greater compassion towards them.

The new Nepali edition is being translated by Mahesh Raj Maharjan and is planned for paperback publication in early 2027. The e-book and audiobook will be freely available, helping make this important story accessible to an even wider audience. The audiobook is being narrated by veteran broadcaster Khagendra Nepali, former head of the BBC Nepali Service.

The project is supported by SAVE Nepal and Dr. Julie M. Palais, an animal welfare activist who has long been involved in efforts to promote compassion and humane treatment of animals.

The initiative is dedicated to Raja, a white and grey Marwari working horse who was abandoned and left for dead in a Nepali jungle in August 2024. Raja’s story reflects the challenges still faced by many working horses and other working animals, including limited access to veterinary care and gaps in animal welfare education.

Beyond Nepal, the initiative hopes to connect translators, educators, librarians, publishers, animal welfare organisations and volunteers around the world to make Black Beauty accessible in more languages, particularly in regions where working horses, donkeys and mules remain an important part of everyday life.

A dedicated online archive and YouTube channel are also planned to bring together Black Beauty audiobooks and e-books in different languages.

HART is pleased to share this initiative with animal lovers and supporters of animal welfare. We hope this timeless story continues to inspire compassion, understanding and better treatment of working animals.

HART Returns to Base — But the Work Continues 🐾

After days of responding to the devastating floods in Nuwakot, the HART team returned to base.

Our time in the affected areas brought us face-to-face with many tragic and heartbreaking situations involving both families and animals. We did what we could — providing veterinary care, rescue support, relief supplies and assistance to those affected.

With responsibilities and emergency cases continuing to await us at the HART base, our team has returned for the time being to continue caring for the animals who need us here.

But this is not the end of our journey.

HART’s flood response continues alongside our ongoing responsibilities, and we remain ready to collaborate with other organisations whenever further support is needed for disaster relief and animal welfare.

We are deeply grateful to the members and all our partner organizations who worked alongside us during this response. Working together allowed us to reach more affected communities and animals when they needed help most.

Thank you for standing with us🐾

HART Rescue & Relief Continues in Belkotgadhi Municipality, Nuwakot 🐾

Flood-affected communities in Belkotgadhi are still recovering, with homes and surroundings covered in mud and debris. HART continues to provide veterinary care, rescue support and essential relief to affected families and animals.

Our team examined and vaccinated dogs and examined cattle, including an ox suffering from Lumpy Skin Disease. We also met Mali and Rati, two cows who survived the floods after being rescued by their owner and neighbours.

We distributed drinking water, tarpaulins, clothes, animal feed and medicines to support families and their animals. We also provided female hygiene supplies, including innerwear, to women and girls.

For children facing the distress of the disaster, we distributed noodles, biscuits, chocolates and treats to bring a few moments of comfort and smiles.

HART continues this work in coordination with FAWN members — Nepal Animal Welfare and Research Center (NAWRC), Sneha’s Care and Voice of Animal Nepal are working in the field, while Nepal Animal Welfare Environment Society and Nepal Vegan Society are supporting coordination with officials.

Our sincere thanks to Mr. Prashant Rai, Veterinary Technician, Belkotgadhi Municipality, for assisting HART and helping us reach affected families and animals. Your support on the ground has been invaluable. 🙏

Thank you for standing with HART. Your support helps us continue providing food, medicines, veterinary care and essential supplies to affected families and animals. 🐾

Relief Work Continues in Flood-Affected Nuwakot🐾

HART’s relief work continues across Bidur Municipality, Nuwakot, providing veterinary care, rescue and support to animals and affected families.

With the valuable guidance of Dr. Sudeep Koirala, our team visited the Jilla Ayurveda Swasthya Kendra, where UNICEF has established a holding centre for flood-affected people. We examined and vaccinated 5 dogs there. One frightened dog was hiding under an office table and was too scared to come out. With patience and love, our team guided him outside, rescued him, and found him a loving animal-lover family.

Dr. Sudeep, himself affected by the devastating flash flood, has continued to guide and support our work. We also helped clean part of his mud-filled home and searched for important belongings and documents. Sadly, most valuables could not be recovered, though some clothes and furniture were saved.

Our team also treated a first-degree postpartum prolapse in a cow and followed up on a cow previously treated by Voice of Animal Nepal (VOAN) for dystocia. The cow received antibiotics, pain medication, vitamins and other medicines. We also provided mats, clothes and essential medicines to the affected family.

HART continues its relief work in coordination with and its member organizations - Nepal Animal Welfare and Research Center (NAWRC), Sneha’s Care and Voice of Animal Nepal (VOAN).

Your support helps us continue reaching animals and families affected by the floods. 🐾
