• Sick / Injured small animals of all species.

• Healthy puppies or a litter with the mother dog. We pick up the mother dog for sterilization only once the litter is at least 2 months old and capable of fending for itself
• Other Healthy Animals. Our streets / colonies are the homes of stray animals, howsoever unfortunate it may be. They do not need to be ‘rescued’ from their ‘home’ but only from an ‘ailment’.
• Dogs with skin ailment. A skin disease can be easily dealt with oral medication on the site itself. You may consult our vet, or any other you may wish to, and provide the required oral & topical medication on-site.
• Large animals like cattle etc.We do not have any facility for large animal rescue.

Engaging the Community in Homeless Animal Rescue

We believe that animals that do not belong to anyone belong to all of us and therefore the responsibility for their well being lie with each one of us and not just with an/any NGO/s / Govt. Deptt.

• On receiving any rescue call, the first option is given to the caller to bring the animal to the shelter. It helps us save manpower & fuel cost and the time thus saved is invested in attending the 100+ animals in our care.
• We do not support or encourage ‘armchair activism’ so, you need to stay involved and be with the animal till the time he/she can be rescued. Your role does not end at merely informing about the sick animal. Be on location for the rescue and sign the Rescue Form. Your presence will help us save time in searching for the animal.
  Remember that YOUR involvement may very well be the difference between life & death.
• Kindly report an injured/diseased animal as soon as you locate him/her so that he/she stands a better chance of recovery.
• At the time of the rescue, kindly do not forget to make a donation and take a receipt for the same. While we rescue animals irrespective of whether a donation is being made or not, please remember that People for animals Rescue Service and the Shelter depends entirely on private donations for its recurring needs and YOU are THE ONE helping us pay all the bills!
  Even if you are not availing the services of the organization / getting any sick animal rescued, please support the cause generously, in whatever way possible.
• We try to make the best possible treatment available to the animal. Our In-house Vet personally supervises the treatment of each animal. We also consult/call in Vets from outside, as and when required.
  However, it is the organization which reserves the right to consult / call vets from outside.
  Kindly refrain from interfering in our treatment procedures or ask for day to day progress of the patient/s in our care. We have a skeletal staff, so, please avoid increasing their work load.
• After treatment & recovery the animal is relocated in the same area. Prior to the release/relocation, a telephonic intimation will be given to you.
  Kindly keep an eye on the animal for a few days and ensure that he/she acclimatizes well.
