Stray dogs are an everyday part of urban India — they live in parking lots, near markets, and around residential complexes. While many people feed and care for them, the rising number of strays often leads to increased conflicts, suffering, and overpopulation.

This is where the Animal Birth Control (ABC) program plays a critical role. In Pune, one of the most trusted names in ethical animal care — the Blue Cross Society Pune (BCS Pune) — runs a well-structured, high-quality ABC program that's both effective and accessible. Most importantly, it's completely free for the public when it comes to Sterilisation for Stray Dogs.

But what exactly is included in a free ABC surgery for stray dogs at BCS Pune? This article will walk you through the entire process — from what the surgery involves, to the added health benefits like vaccinations and post-op care.

You'll also learn how BCS Pune ensures that every dog is treated with compassion, science-based protocols, and follow-up support. Whether you're a feeder, rescuer, or simply someone who wants to help, this is your guide to how you can make a difference — at no cost.

What's Included in Free ABC Surgery for Stray Dogs in Pune?

1. Professional Sterilisation by Licensed Veterinarians

At the heart of the program is the sterilisation surgery — spaying for females, neutering for males. This procedure:

  • Is conducted by trained veterinary surgeons

  • Takes place in sterile, well-equipped operation theatres

  • Follows government-approved ABC guidelines

  • Uses anesthesia and post-op medication to minimize pain

This ensures every stray dog undergoes safe, compassionate surgery as part of BCS Pune's free Sterilisation for Stray Dogs initiative.

2. Free Anti-Rabies Vaccination (ARV)

Rabies remains a concern in India, both for animals and public safety. That's why every dog undergoing ABC surgery also receives a free anti-rabies vaccine. This not only protects the dog but also reduces public health risk, making your locality safer for everyone.

3. Free 9-in-1 Canine Vaccine

In addition to rabies, dogs are vulnerable to several deadly viral infections. BCS Pune provides the 9-in-1 vaccine free with every sterilisation — offering protection against:

  • Distemper

  • Parvovirus

  • Hepatitis

  • Leptospirosis

    …and other common canine diseases.

This comprehensive health package enhances the overall well-being of the stray population and reduces the spread of disease.

4. 5 Days of Post-Operative Care

After surgery, each dog is observed and cared for over five full days at the BCS Pune shelter. During this recovery phase, dogs receive:

  • Painkillers and antibiotics

  • Proper meals and hydration

  • Bedding and comfort

  • Daily vet checkups

This extra layer of care ensures dogs heal fully before being returned to their original location, making the program more ethical and effective.

5. Sterilisation Certificate for Each Dog

Each dog that completes the procedure is documented and given a sterilisation certificate. This helps caretakers and feeding groups maintain proper records, and proves that the animal is vaccinated and safe.

If you're working with RWAs or civic bodies, this certificate adds credibility and shows responsible animal management.

6. Dog Catching Support (For Groups of 5+)

Can't catch the dogs yourself? If you're coordinating sterilisation for five or more stray dogs, BCS Pune can arrange for their trained dog-catching team and transport van to assist.

This makes it easier for feeders and volunteers to sterilise even the most shy or hard-to-handle dogs.

7. Simple Booking Process – No Walk-ins

Booking is streamlined and fully online. To get started with free Sterilisation for Stray Dogs, just email:

info@bcspune.org

Include:

  • Your name and contact number

  • Address or location of the dog(s)

  • Approximate number of dogs

  • Note if catching assistance is required

Slots are scheduled based on availability. Walk-ins are not allowed for sterilisation to avoid overcrowding and maintain quality care.

8. Return to Location (RTLF) Protocol

Once recovered, each dog is released back to its original location under the Return-To-Location policy. This ensures the dog remains in familiar surroundings, reducing stress and improving post-surgery behavior.

The ear notch — a small "V" cut — is also marked on one ear to indicate successful sterilisation.
