This blog, our YouTube Channel: GWRFeralDogs, and our website at Global Wildlife Resources is dedicated to reduce suffering for both humans and animals, especially dogs.   To do this, we are sharing information on humane and compassionate skills, techniques, and equipment for capturing and handling fearful and feral dogs with care, honor, and respect.

This commitment includes voluntarily working with the Animal Welfare Board of India and and ABC India to produce a training video of my dog handling course in Hindi so my former Indian students can train others.  See Letter of Support from Animal Welfare Board of India.

PLEASE DONATE

Your donations will also help us provide training materials for animal welfare programs around the world and help maintain and expand the FERAL DOG BLOG, YOUTUBE CHANNEL, OUR WEBSITE, as well as generate books, webinars, and videos to share this valuable educational material to spay/neuter and dog rescue programs around the world.

Why Donate to Global Wildlife Resources?

Help us produce educational materials to improve how dogs are handled throughout the world.

Even animal welfare organizations with good intentions are struggling to catch dogs in a good way.  Handlers are bit, even where rabies is rampant, and dogs are injured and killed when their intention is to care for dogs and provide trap/neuter/release to vaccinate and control the populations.  Most dog handlers around the world cannot read or write.  The best format for training is through videos which can be translated into many languages.

Most GWR income is currently generated from Dr. Mark traveling and teaching courses.  We are seeking general funding grants to allow Dr. Mark to edit videos, write scripts, and post these training materials on our Internet sites and to pay our webmaster, graphics artist, translators, and video producers.

All donations are tax-deductible.

Donors can specify how they wish the funds to be applied.

Your donation, no matter how small is important!

Why Donate to Global Wildlife Resources?
There is a great need for training and equipment in places like India and Asia, where feral dogs own the streets and rabies is a common risk to children and adults. Because animal handlers in these regions often lack critical skills and tools, feral dog captures are frequently unsuccessful, frustrating implementation of humane animal birth control programs. Harsh dog handling can lead to animal injuries and death, and handlers themselves are physically and emotionally stressed and often bitten. Even in the U.S., unnecessarily threatening snare poles are used in most shelters to forcefully manage fractious dogs because animal control workers aren’t familiar with the less frightening and very effective Y pole.During his 20 years of handling a variety of wildlife species, Global Wildlife Resources Executive Director Mark R. Johnson DVM, developed conscientious and caring approaches to humane animal handling. He is now using his experience to support animal welfare organizations in spay/neuter/release programs around the world. In addition, GWR courses for university students and wildlife professionals promote care, honor, and respect for animals, their own colleagues, and other cultures. GWR is proud of its strong working relationships with a diversity of organizations, from the Humane Society of the United States to USDA Wildlife Services.
Help GWR help animals and people around the world. Your tax-deductible donation will be used to:
1) Promote the Y pole for all animal shelters to significantly reduce use of the snare pole.2) Produce a Y pole training video for animal shelters, captive wolf facilities, and spay/neuter/programs around the world.3) Translate the training video and other materials in the Feral Dog Library into Hindi.4) Conduct at least one trip each year to India and central Asia to teach and promote humane capture and handling of feral dogs.5) Bring pride and purpose to animal control officers to empower these often unappreciated workers, by creating a safer environment for both animals and people, and teaching handlers how to develop a respectful and caring relationship and connection with the animals they handle.6) Publish a resource booklet on humane and effective designs for bear culvert traps.7) Cover website maintenance and enlarge the Feral Dog Library for spay/neuter programs around the world.
