The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) has donated a mobile veterinary clinic to help vaccinate and spay/neuter and release dogs.

Veterinary surgeons share work spaces.
Pet owners proudly hold their animals.
A young man sits next to his dog. Nearby is a van and a small cart which have brought some of the pet owners to the animal clinic site. His dog has a color indicating that it has been vaccinated!
This dog owner has brought his dog in a tuk-tuk taxi to the animal health station to be vaccinated.
This surgical tent allows for four teams to be working at one time. On the surgical beds are pillows to help position the animal.
The tent is fully equipped with electricity and even a microscope.
A dog is humanely captured in a net so as to prevent injury to both the animal and to the team handling the dog.
Two Sri Lankan healthcare workers are going to demonstrate how they apply oral anti-rabies vaccine to a dog.
The oral bait is placed in a coconut shell, and milk is put into the shell to entice the dog to eat the bait. This is an unusual method to vaccinate dogs!
It seems that all of this effort to use the oral vaccine could be avoided if the dog were to receive parenteral vaccination!
The owners explain that the dog is not easy to approach, and that is why they wanted to use oral vaccine rather than parenteral vaccination.
The dog seems to like the taste and eats the bait and drinks the milk
The man picks up the now-empty coconut half-shell.
Nevertheless, the dog has eaten the oral rabies vaccine bait, and the owner shows the empty coconut shell.
He goes back to the building. The dog goes back into the house.
This scene is repeated again with another dog.
This dog laps up the mixture, too.
The animal health worker shows the empty coconut shell half.
The coconut shell is lit on fire to eliminate any extra oral bait mixture.
The health care worker explains that they burn the shell to destroy any of the oral vaccine that may have been left.
The orange cloth here shows a depiction of a rabid dog.
The team in Sri Lanka explains how they have invented a unique system to vaccinate dogs using a long pole with a syringe attached.
The syringe is placed on the end of a long pole. Dr Alex Wandeler looks on and does not seem to be convinced that this is going to work!
The "trigger" on it is set. Dr. Wandeler takes a photo before moving out of the way.
This dog is injected using the syringe on the end of the pole on his left hindquarters. The device seems to work as it was used on this dog and leaves an ink mark to identify the dog as being vaccinated against rabies.
He lifts his leg in response to the initial sting.
He shows no sign of discomfort shortly thereafter. The dog is now vaccinated against rabies and has a better chance of not getting the disease.
Dr. Sarah Cleaveland holds a puppy to be vaccinated. It is important to vaccinate all dogs, regardless of age, in Sri Lanka, because this may be the only time that they will be taken to a vaccination clinic and thus is the only time that they will be physically present to get the vaccine.
The World Health Organization field vehicle has provided transportation for the team to visit the field sites.
The health team holds the dog to be vaccinated.
The van from the Department of Health Northwestern Province also provides transportation for the field team.
