Final destination of Cave dogs 

After the rescue, our society made these poor dogs to recover from the psychological and physical damages in their stay in the cave by giving different treatment and shelter and made them to be spayed and neutered in its Animal Clinic.  

Then as the society is not in a position to permanently keep this dogs in its shelter a lots of effort has been exerted for them to be able to get a family that can take a responsibility to keep them in a better condition than they were before. 

At this time Dr. Anteneh Roba from USA told us that the Pet Palace in Houston promised him to keep the dogs until they got adopted to a family in USA. 

Our society also accepted his request after discussing the issue with all the concerned bodies. 

Then finally, after all the pre-conditions and preparations for taking animals abroad are finalized the four cave dogs are transported to Houston accompanied by our society’s founder and President Ato Efrem Legese.

The Addis Ababa Mass Media Agency Television who recorded and transmitted the rescue process has also given media coverage about the departure of the cave dogs from Addis Ababa to USA by reminding the previous programs.

Finally on their arrival at Houston airport Ato Efrem Legese and the four dogs are received by Melanie Blake and Janice Blue people who devoted their time and their life for animals and Dr. Anteneh Roba and people from the Pet Palace and also the ABC Television in Houston and HOUSTON CHRONICLE news paper.

Ato Efrem in his stay in Houston has got different media coverage that can help promote our society and its activity and came back to Ethiopia by accomplishing our mission successfully.

Following this the Ethiopian National Television, who is our usual collaborator since the establishment of the society and who recorded and broadcasted both the rescue and the closing of the cave by its Sunday programs in different times has also given another wider coverage in relation to the success that Mr. Efrem came up with.

And also other government and private news papers has also recorded all the process and promised that they will publish it in future dates.

These opportunity and all the media exposures has also made our effort from the beginning to get an extraordinary attention from all over.

In this opportunity we would like to pass our grateful thanks:-
