With the advent of a new year the yearly Village camps have also recommenced at Kalimpong Animal Shelter. Village camps in another word, Animal Birth Control camps are one of the primary programmes of KAS and are held in far flung places of Kalimpong by the KAS team in order to spay many female dogs as possible with the mission to curb the dog population every year. To scrutinise the programme and population of dogs every year in those communities, as people are inclined to getting new dogs anytime either as their pets or community dogs, it becomes necessary for the KAS team to conduct the yearly follow-up and get the new ones sterilised.
