Empathy Grove-Building Compassion

Dear friends,

The last two months went by swiftly with a furore of activities that kept us on our toes. There were several new additions to the sanctuary as we doubled down on rescue efforts. Many "hurt-to-healed" stories gave us heart-warming moments.

Can you imagine the agony of a fractured jaw for an animal living on the streets with no pain-relief and no hope of healing? Thankfully, Jyothi was rescued and brought to us; but weak and frustrated, she snapped at us out of pain and fear. Following a lengthy and delicate surgical procedure to repair her jaw, Jyothi's fears began to fade as quickly as her pain, and it didn't take much time before she became a cuddle-bug. Now healed and back to her familiar territory, it was indeed a gratifying moment for our whole team.

Life of a street dog in India is very tough—hungry, unwanted, and exposed to a disease that is 100% fatal and putting entire communities at risk. We are commemorating the month of September as the Rabies Awareness month highlighting why and how the deadly disease of Rabies in 100% preventable through timely vaccinations. As preparation for this, we have conducted several out-reach sessions and workshops, teaching children how to understand the body language of dogs and how to avoid dog-bites.

The Rabies surveillance has picked up full steam with a steady flow of calls arriving on our hotline. Thanks to the generous donations received from you, we touched more than 3000 lives during this time, whether it was a life-savng surgery, or a vaccination against the deadly Rabies inching us closer to our vision of a Rabies-free Coimbatore.

This September, on the suspices of the World Rabies Day celebrated all over the world on the 28th, we have a chance to turn fear into hope, as we plan to conduct several vaccination campaigns in different parts of the city. For as little as 1 USD, you can sponsor a life-saving vaccination to a street dog. It offers safety for a dog, peace of mind for a family, and takes us once step closer to a rabies-free world. We have a goal of raising 1000 USD to vaccinate 1000 dogs this time. Please support us and help us fulfill our goal.

Thank you!

Towards a Rabies-free Coimbatore

Dear friends,

The last two months witnessed remarkable porgress in terms of our efforts towards combating the deadly diseae of Rabies. The dedicated hotline was officially launched in the presence of government officials marking a significant mile-stone in the fight against Rabies. The hospital at the Sanctuary started functioning, bringing the much needed relief to the rural areas of the district where access to veterinary care is limited. We pushed our limits once again as we positively impacted more than 2500 animals, with over 500 spay/neuter surgeries, 2000 vaccinations, 70 rescues, and 50 adoptions!

When Zayan was rescued, his tail was severely injured and the tip necrosed with bone exposed. He was so traumatized by the experience. But this fighter never gave up. With a successful tail amputation, lots of love and care, Zayan made a complete recovery and since then been released back to his community. Every rescue is a reminder of why we do what we do and we are ever grateful to each one of you for helping us made happy endings like Zayan's possible.

Thrown away like trash, Naran was found in a trench—his hind legs brutally severed in an act of unthinkable cruelty. Despite having all the reasons to give up, Naran prevailed. We couldn't save his legs, but we saved his life. With walking wheels and endless care, Naran now races through the sanctuary with a spark that lights up every face and inspires everyone he comes across.

We have inaugurated the "Empathy Grove" — a centre for creating awareness around the plight of street animals and to build compassion and respect for all life. Several sessions held there with school children have created a lasting impact about the need to care for street animals.

The number of residents at our sanctuary has crossed 115 now, and several of them are in need of sponsors while they await their second chance. Your USD 50 can fully sponsor one permanent resident for a whole month or sponsor a day's meal for all 300 residents of both the rescue centre and the sanctuary. We remain ever grateful for your compassion towards the voiceless. Please continue to support us.

Thank you!

March and April 2025 Update from the HAS Sanctuary

By Mini Vasudevan | Project Leader

Another year goes by!

Dear friends,

March and April were exciting months as the projects closed at the end of the financial year in March, and April saw us completing another year of service to the animals of the city. The highlights were the remarkable transformation tales where each one of you played a significant role in rewriting the lives of many rescue pets. Our spay/neuter and vaccination drives continued relentlessly as we positively impacted more than 80000 animals over the past 19 years.

Whitey, a gentle soul full of innocence was found broken by the world she trusted. Suffering from a brutal head trauma, she also endured an eye injury and a deadly pyometra. However, we did not let her down and she showed us all what a great fighter she truly is. Though her partial blindness and nervous incoordination mean that she can't return to the streets, she has found her forever home with us at the sanctuary and all she needs is a virtual sponsor. For as little as USD 50, the complete cost of her treatment and care for a whole month would be covered. Would you be the one to sponsor her even partially?

Fluffy is a tiny pup that was hit by a vehcile suffering multiple fractures in one of her hind limbs and also hip. Sadly, her leg couldn't be saved and she underwent amputation. None of this dampened her spirits though. Thanks to your support, we were able to give her the care she needed. She is now resting, healing, and finding her strength again!

These past two months, we had a flurry of volunteering activities and we are ever grateful for the wonderful folks who dedicated their time to the pooches—groomed them, took them for long walks, and showered them with treats. A huge big thanks from all of us for your selfless service and compassion towards the voiceless.

Our residents were also super-thrilled as many of you stepped forward to celebrate your special days with them and sponsor their meals. Whether it's your birthday, anniversary, or a special day of your special someone, we would be happy to have you host a small party for our rescues. For as little as USD 50, you can sponsor a day's meal for all 300 residents of both the rescue centre and the sanctuary. We can assure you that it would be an occasion you will always remember and cherish!

Thank you!
