I spent the weekend in Delhi, India.

1 million street dogs are under severe threat.

I’ve never seen a story like this. I didn’t think it was possible in the modern world.

The world needs to see this… (1/10) 🧵

Let’s get her to Number 1 in the USA this week 🇺🇸 🙏

@NiallHarbison I would suggest the name 'Shadow' as she will be a shadow of herself when the lump and extra weight are gone.

[CD @CD_Dublin]

@ruskin147 Bye, bye SophiefromRomania and all your family. I checked in on your progress daily. I'm so happy that you received such great love and support from everyone. I'll miss following your journey but I know you'll have a happy and secure life ahead and be well loved.

🎄🐾 It’s #SantaPawsDay! 🐾🎁
Magic fills the air as every dog gets to pick their very own #Christmas present! ✨
Thanks to our generous supporters, the dogs in our care are surrounded by a mountain of donated toys 🎉 You've made Christmas very special for these precious pups🐾💛

If I had to choose one dog myself it would be Rusty. Such a nice, gentle and kind boy.

If you are interested you can apply to adopt him here and make his dreams come true…

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

Rusty needs your help. His forever home in Ireland fell through at the last minute.

He's the nicest gentlest dog we have.

Ready to travel in early September. I can't explain what a great dog he is after a hard start in life. Hopefully the internet can work it's magic 🥰🙏

Work In Tech And Love Dogs? I Need Help With Our Mission 🐶💻

A very different post today on Twitter to hopefully help us on our mission to reduce street dogs globally from 500 million to 250 million during my lifetime.

At a very top level...

📱 We need to build a world class app to track our sterilising efforts.

💰 We know something like this could cost $100k - $1 Million+ and would find a way to fund it

🌎 We are a registered charity in the UK and USA with a growing team. We have partners 9 partner organisations in 3 countries. https://t.co/gel1fZtjPr

📄We have the start of a spec here... https://t.co/38ZjhQKBr4

To truly fix this problem a world class tech solution will be essential. We have some tech knowledge in the team but I'm worried about building a white elephant that doesn't help the mission.

The Help That Is Ideally Required...

I'm not expecting or looking for someone to come along and build the app for free. What I'm trying to do is find any of the following...

🔵 Very good advisors who know about building things like this at scale

🔵 Anybody who has knowledge about building this in house / agency / partnering with large organisations etc

🔵 Open sourcing the project for others to benefit from

🔵 Ideas or direct intros for funding opportunities

🔵 Relevant tech like AI / Mapping / Data Science

A Meaningful Project At Scale 💻🐶🌎

If you follow me you'll know what we are trying to do for dogs. As you'll see in the image we are scaling very fast with our sterilising efforts. We aim to get to 10,000 dogs being operated on every single month by the end of 2024.

📈 The work we do is genuinely saving 100,000s of dogs lives but this tech solution would be a key element in helping us get to millions of dogs lives saved per year. We need to do it as quickly as possible and with as much ambition as possible as the suffering is very severe. I can't really think of anything more important or meaningful to work on.

🥰🙏 Hopefully you might be the person or you might know someone who is the right person to help us with this key part of the mission. Thanks in advance.

@NiallHarbison Happy St Patrick's Day https://t.co/6pD57M1W7u

[Dogs Trust Ireland @DogsTrust_IE]

Happy St. Pawtrick’s Day! ☘

This year we treated the dogs in our care to their very own Leprechaun's Pot o’ Gold, filled with toys! Some of them took the decision-making process very seriously, while others knew exactly what they wanted and dove straight in. 💚

@NiallHarbison Good luck Billy and all the other sick doggos. Safe trip.

You might have seen, you might have not BUT... @thismorning are doing more Coeliac awareness in January - starting on the 10th January
I'm honestly so happy that they have seen the importance of talking more about Coeliac Disease and what it's like to follow a gluten free diet when it is not a choice!!

All the support has made this possible, so thank you everyone 🧡 Tune in on the 10th for a massive @Coeliac_UK awareness slot.
There's not usually much to look forward to in January (I say that even with a January birthday!!) but I'd say this is going to change that 😇

We've shown how as a community we can take a huge negative and turn it around and start taking positive strides forward and that's incredible 🙌

[CD @CD_Dublin]

@beckyexcell @thismorning Well done.

[CD @CD_Dublin]

@beckyexcell @thismorning Fantastic, well done, looking forward to watching.

[Becky Excell 💙 @beckyexcell]

Thank you @Coeliac_UK for always flying the flag 🧡

Archie wants to say the biggest thank you to everyone who has kindly dropped off or sent in donations for under our Christmas tree! 🎄
He has inspected them all and says they get a 10/10 from him.
It truly is the most woof-erful time of the year 💛
#ThankYou #Christmas
