Give second chance for 100 rescue animals in India

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!
