About Us
Who We Are
Lets Save The Strays International (LSTSI) is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization focused on humane street dog population management and rabies control in Myanmar through high-volume Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR).
LSTSI currently operates locally led programs in Mandalay and Yangon centered on three core pillars: TNVR and veterinary capacity building, public education and advocacy, and community engagement.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reduce the suffering of free-roaming dogs and cats while improving public health through TNVR, rabies vaccination, veterinary training, humane education, and emergency veterinary care when needed. We work to promote TNVR as a humane, sustainable, and community-centered approach to managing street dog populations and reducing rabies risk in Myanmar.
A world where street animals and the communities they live in thrive together, free from the threat of rabies and the cycle of suffering, through humane, locally led care that lasts for generations.
Compassion, sustainability, and community. We believe humane, science-based solutions work best when they are led by the people closest to the animals they serve, and measured by lasting change rather than short-term relief.
Our Approach
How We Work
LSTSI's work is built around three interconnected pillars:
01
TNVR and Veterinary Capacity Building
Humane population management through sterilization, rabies vaccination, veterinary care, and hands-on surgical training.
02
Public Education and Advocacy
School programs and community outreach focused on animal welfare, dog bite prevention, and rabies awareness.
03
Community Engagement
Trained local Community Animal Guardians and volunteers who help ensure long-term, sustainable change.
Measurable Change
Our Impact
Through monthly TNVR clinics, veterinary training, humane education, and community engagement, LSTSI works to create healthier street dog and cat populations, strengthen local veterinary systems, and reduce rabies risk in Myanmar. By combining humane population management with education and local involvement, we aim to create lasting improvements for both animals and the communities in which they live. Through data collection, population surveys, and locally led programs, we measure progress not only by the number of animals treated, but also by long-term improvements in animal welfare, public health, veterinary capacity, and community engagement.
