Our very own expert in Dog Training

Decided to volunteer because you always say “One day I’ll go to [this charity] and help out” but very few actually do. I knew briefly that LSPCA existed since I knew about Veterinarians Without Borders (Sweden) so I decided to go there. On my first visit, I was quickly made to feel like a member of the clinic undertaking consults and surgery for paying clients but I enjoyed the Spay Day and Farm Clinics [field work] the most!

I also really enjoyed the opportunity to go with Anne-Marie on dog trainings, what a fantastic thing to be able to visit Malawian homes and to see how a typical (well, a well-off) Malawian dog’s life looks like; it’s very different to how our European dogs live! When I returned in 2017, I was able to relaunch LSPCA’s stray dog population control at Kamuzu Central Hospital which was an amazing opportunity to make a major impact on Lilongwe’s huge stray dog problem.
