For the love of animals, Suva businessman Reginald Jokhan has donated cash for a dozen dogs to be sterilized.

Jokhan Realtors (JR) managing director, Reginald Jokhan, hand­ed over the donation of $500 for a dozen dogs to be sterilized at The Greater Good Foundation’s clinic in Lovu, Lautoka.

He added that it was a gesture based on the love for animals, and many should follow suit as The Greater Good Foundation had kicked-off its campaign in the Western Division.

“I had spent a night in Lautoka and saw a lot of stray dogs in the city,” Mr Jokhan said.

“My family and I do love animals and it moved me to support the campaign in the west for a dozen dogs in Lautoka to be spayed. We need to support the animals. The clinic needs about $5000 to assist them in its campaign.”

Mr Jokhan added that staff at their Lautoka office had adopted a dog and three cats which are fed all the time.

“We feed them and the cats are spayed. In Suva, we feed 11 stray dogs daily. We just love them.”

The foundation’s project man­ager Maleeka Ghazala has urged business houses to come forward and support their sterilisation campaign.

“We thank Mr Jokhan for assist­ing in the sterilisation drive.”

Ms Ghazala said more education and awareness must be put out to assist cruelty to animals.

Meanwhile, there are 160 stray dogs and few cats that have found themselves a home at The Greater Good Foundation’s Animal Sanc­tuary located at Tavarau, Ba.
