Help Street Dogs in Dharamsala and Save Lives

Dear Friends of Dharamsala Animal Rescue, 

Stray animal rescue is one of the main focuses of our work here in Dharamsala. As you know, thousands of animals live on the street of Dharamsala. Animals, especially dogs, are cruelly mistreated and often hit by cars without a hint of compassion. Luckily, we do have community members that are compassionate and will call our Help Line if they see a sick or injured animal. 

For Karan, he was unlucky to be hit in the head by a car, but then lucky that someone called us immediately to help him. At first, we did not think there was any hope. He could not walk, eat or even lift his head. After a day of medication and treatment, he started to act more alive.... wanting food, and trying to stand!! We were so happy. 

As of today, he is still with us, walking and running, begging for treats and pets, but unfortunately still falling and a bit clumsy due to his head injury. 

We are hoping for a full recovery and ask for you help to fund his healing time at DAR. If you can sponsor Karan for the holidays, or give a sponsorship for Karan as a gift, nothing would make us happier! 

Please take a look at his photos and the video of him walking around our shelter yard.

Thanks for helping make the lives of Dharamsala's stray animals a bit better! 

Happy Holidays from us to you.

Dear Friends of Dharamsala Animal Rescue, 

Today, I want to share the story of Tiger. Tiger lives on the street and had been wandering around with a huge tumour. Unfortunately, no one in the community alerted us. Luckily, a member of the DAR team happened to see him, so he was brought into the clinic.

To get a second opinion and some testing done on the tumor, we took him to Palampur Veterinary College, an hour and a half away where they have a much more sophisticated lab.  They confirmed that it was a benign tumour which was a relief to hear.

Our two vets Dr Harry and Dr Vinay, along with their assistant Sanjay, performed a surgical resection to remove the tumour, and Tiger is now tumour free and recovering well. He is going to find it much easier to move around now as the tumour weighed 2.5 kg!! 

Every day we treat cases of animals on the streets that are injured, sick, weak, and in need of care and we cannot do it without your support. 

Luckily, on September 16th, $70,000 in matching money becomes available on Global Giving for the FINAL BONUS DAY of the year and 30% of your donation will be matched until funds run out.
