Objectives

Development of Shelters for
Destitute Animals

The first objective that the Foundation has achieved is the setting up of a shelter for destitute dogs and cats in Village Bhati in south Delhi, near Chhattarpur. There are about one hundred destitute dogs and cats that have found a home here to regain their strength and to thrive in peace, respect and safety. Among them, there are many handicapped and orthopedic patients, old or ageing dogs, orphans, low immunity and medically sensitive ones undergoing treatment. The shelter also houses a number of aggressive dogs and abandoned pets as well that have virtually no hope of finding a safe place.

Carrying out Animal Birth Control
(ABC) Programs

According to the World Health Organization, Animal Birth Control (ABC) is the most humane and practical way of managing a controlled and healthy population of neighborhood animals. The courts of law have also agreed with that. The surgery is of the nature that allows a male dog to be released back where it was picked up from, in about three days and a female, in a few more days, as long as all goes well.

The Foundation regularly conducts ABC surgeries with the help of private veterinarians for both sheltered animals and neighboring strays.

Providing Treatment and
Veterinary Care

The mesery of stray life of animals often needs Veterinary help. Accidents, leading to fractures or spinal injury, tumors, cancers of various types, diverse handicaps including different kinds of blindness, lameness, paralysis, loss of limbs...all these need treatment and lifelong medical attention. One of our main objectives is to treat and give the required therapies and care to those animals in need.

The Foundation tries to give the best and special medical attention to such cases who have been admitted to the shelter.


The Future Plans

Veterinary Clinics and Hospitals

The Foundation is keen to build up veterinary hospitals for stray and abandoned animals in need. Till now, we have been taking our injured and ill animals outside for veterinary attention. This can be tiring, in terms of logistics, and uncomfortable for the animal that is already in distress. We need to set up a one-stop centre where investigations and treatment of a variety of injuries and illnesses can be done under one roof so that we can monitor the progress of the animals in our care in a better way.

Ambulance Service and Mobile Clinics

The first few hours after an accident or a traumatic event are the most critical for the injured or ill animals. However, because of the lack of our own ambulance, we often run from pillar to post to find transport to pick up the accident victim and to take the victim to a veterinarian. The organization also hopes to set up Mobile Clinics that can pick up and/or treat accident-hit animals and to carry out on-the-spot treatment for animals that do not require hospitalization.

Awareness Building Programmes

Building up awareness is the need of the hour. Awareness Building Programmes are very essential  to educate the general public about the necessity and benefits of animal welfare, caring of stray and pet animals, various myths and realities about animals, common animal diseases and their remedies, how to fight the cruelty to animals in their areas. We also need to spread awareness about first aid in case of animal bites.
