What We Do
Rescue
We receive several calls (most days) from concerned citizens on animal abuse, injury, or abandonment.
We make every effort to rescue the animal and provide emergency veterinary care where required.
We then provide temporary shelter until we are able to rehome the animals.
We also take appropriate steps to find the owners of friendly, healthy neutered animals since they are more likely to be a lost pet whose family might be actively looking for them.
We do this by:
Putting up flyers in the area to dispense information that we have found a pet.
- Ask the surrounding community to see if the local people know who the pet belongs to.
- Contact other fellow veterinarians to see if anyone has reported a lost pet.
- We then provide care and a safe environment until the animal is reclaimed.
Spay, Neuter, and Vaccinate
We feel strongly that overpopulation of animals — and more so cats and dogs — contribute greatly to animal suffering, especially in lower-income areas. As such, we believe that the way to minimize the suffering of street animals and ensure their safety is to spay and neuter the animals. This minimizes overpopulation and increases the chances for a better life. This goes hand in hand with our policy to cultivate, adopt, rescue, and advocate.
Our goal is to also vaccinate as many animals as possible for the health and well-being of the community at large. With this in mind, we conduct several vaccination drives every few months or whenever funds are available. This is done with the aim to make sure most if not all animals are healthy and do not transmit diseases.
Hospital & Medical Care
Presently, we are helping treat rescued animals with the collaboration of a few local private hospitals.
However, we are in the process of setting up our emergency clinic and surgery center to help us adequately provide care at our facility.
Outreach & Education
Our plan under “cultivate, adopt, rescue, advocate” is to educate the community starting with the younger age groups, especially in local schools, to teach the importance of animal welfare.
Cruelty Response
Animal cruelty is one of the most important and urgent aspects that we need to tackle in the larger set of problems related to our operations. Animal cruelty includes mistreatment, failure to provide essential care, food, repeated torture, malicious killing, and many more.
As an organization, we are highly concerned about animals’ treatment and believe animal cruelty is a social problem. We are committed to fighting for the rights of all the voiceless animals, suffering at the hands of their custodians. We aim to report all cases of animal cruelty to the concerned authorities, local police departments and the court system.
We also offer information or suggestions for improving animal care to help pet owners rectify the situation before pursuing legal matters or before a serious tragedy.
Training Programs
We aim to conduct on-the-job training for all animal caregivers and volunteers to help them assess the extent of animal injuries and help stabilize the physical conditions of rescued animals. The training will also include:
- Basic care
- Rescue methods
- Safe handling methods
- First aid
- Recognizing animal behavior and
- Emergency response.
