Big Fix Uganda

We are Big Fix Uganda - the charity responsible for the Comfort Dog Project. We are the only organization offering animal welfare and veterinary services in Northern Uganda, and operate the only veterinary hospital in a region that is home to more than 2 million people. We administer programs in animal birth control, rabies vaccination, animal health and wellness, animal welfare education, anti-cruelty investigation, and animal-assisted therapy. Northern Uganda is one of the most impoverished places on earth, where people are suffering not only from poverty but also from war trauma. Through the Comfort Dog Project, the BIG FIX Uganda uses the powerful healing power of dog companionship to help war trauma survivors as part of a program of psycho-social rehabilitation. Dogs in need of good homes are rehabilitated by our team, temperament tested and spayed/ neutered. They then are placed with war trauma survivors selected to be part of The Comfort Dog Project.
