Dear friends,
The third quarter of this year has been one of the busiest as we geared up towards the biggest Anti-Rabies Vaccination drive of the year on the auspices of the World Rabies Day on September 28th. The weeklong vaccination drive, in addition to vaccinating 865 free roaming, community, and pet dogs, also created awareness through pamphlet distribution and door-to-door campaiging.
The Indian Independence Day that falls on August 15 was celebrated along with our furry residents who thoroughly enjoyed the extra attention. This quarter also saw a record number of adoption of special need pets. In September, two tri-pawds Daisy and Shanmukhi were adopted by the same family. Rescued after an accident with crushed limbs, Maya had a miraculous recovery, thanks to the generous donations that we received during the long period of her treatment and care. She was adopted by one of our regular volunteers Aswath who took a special liking to her from the time he set his eyes on her.
This quarter, we conducted several outreach sessions to schools that were well received. Community activities of volunteering also saw a significant boost with corporates rolling up their sleeves to take part in cleaning up the premises.
The number of sanctuary residents has gone up to more than 100, with the addition of more rescue pets that cannot be rehabilitated elsewhere. Kalyani and Mikey, two of the oldest residents have welcomed more rescues whole heartedly enabling a safe space for them to live and thrive. We are immensely grateful for your support in making all of this work possible.
All sanctuary residents are available for virtual adoption through a sponsorship of just USD 50 per month. More than 50% of the permanent residents are still in need of virtual sponsors. Please support us so that we can continue our life-saving work for the street animals of India.
Thank you!
