Dr Arun, " I completed my graduation in the year 2003 and joined the centre in August 2004. In the whole of Kerala state this was the only organisation in which the Animal birth control programme was implemented . I found it really rewarding to be associated with this organisation. We are currently doing nearly 60 sterilisations a month."

Dr Arun sterlises bitches using a technique which involves a small incision to the dog's side. This is the least invasive method of surgery and the dogs recover quickly. He has since taught this method to other vets in the local area ( although the local authority did some steralisations with our help they have abandoned the project at this moment in time and there are no plans to sterilise street dogs although talks are continuing regarding re-opening the project.) Dr Arun is also a trustee of Animal Rescue Kerala Charitable Trust.
