India has the highest numbers of stray dogs in the world at an approximated 62 million. India also has the highest amount of human deaths by rabies. 95% of the time this is the result of a dog bite. Rabies is 100% preventable. This leads to human/street dog conflict resulting in lack of care or concern for the dogs living on the street. Each month we receive calls to help sick, injured, and abused dogs. By donating, you are giving these animals a good shot of survival.
Recurring donations help us run. There is no other way to put it. The only way we can plan for the future is if we know we have funds coming in every month to buy medicine, pay for fuel, purchase food, pay salaries to our local vets and vet assistants. By having the security of monthly donations, we never have to say no to a rescue call in Dharamsala.
The only way to solve the longterm problem of human/street dog conflict which causes many dogs in need of rescue is to continue our program to stabilize population through spay/neuter program, eradicate rabies through vaccination, feed the street dogs to alleviate conflict, promote adoption, and educate our youth to be kind and safe with street dogs.
