The initiative includes a long-term care plan, medical interventions, and safety standards tailored to ensure effective animal management. It is part of a broader technical and logistical framework designed to assist authorities in the Red Sea Governorate.

Key elements of this project feature:

- Mass vaccination campaigns to systematically administer rabies vaccines to the local stray dog population, protecting both the community and the animals.

- Specialized transport vehicles to safely and stress-free relocate stray dogs, conforming to strict technical specifications.

- Structured medical facilities within the shelter for veterinary checkups, sterilization programs, and ongoing recovery services.

Through a combination of engineering and veterinary practices, Hurghada aims to establish a sustainable model for animal management that enhances both public safety and the welfare of stray animals.
