Hello kind humans! I am Aditi, I am a 32 years old single woman running a shelter and rehab for animals in the outskirts of Mumbai, India. We are located in Dombivali and we are the only shelter in this region. We are currently running at a capacity of 160 plus rescued dogs and cats that have come from different parts of Thane District. 



We are one of the very few shelters that takes in animals with no admission fees to make animal healthcare acessible for poor rescuers and fully depend on your donations to protect and care for distressed animals. I have successfully built a team of caregivers that work round to take care of the animals.

There is a cost for everything. When we get a rescue case,  these steps are followed.
  1. Reaching the spot and searching for the for animal. In many cases we dont find the animal in very first attempt so we search multiple times 
  2. It all starts with catching. If the animal is friendly we catch them ourselves. In some cases, when the animal isn’t friendly we have to call for a paid professional catcher. 
  3. Pick up of the animal could anywhere between 1 to 50 kilometres. In most cases the animal is brought to the shelter but in some emergency cases we send the animal straight to the vet. 
  4. Placement of animal at the shelter is always a worry due to lack of space. We figure out a place and the animal is isolated in cage with their own blankets, bowl and food is offered. 
  5. Once the animal settles down, required medical care is given to stabilise the animal. This may include giving saline and injections, maggots wound cleaning, providing heat therapy deep wound dressing, baths, hair trimming etc. 
  6. Vet visit is scheduled with our senior vets in the city. The vets visits are planned as per the type of rescue case. We go to canine dermatologists, neurologists, oncologist that are far away but the best in the city. Some of our specialists are as far 50kms away.
  7. Vet visits consists of consultation, blood tests (mandatory) and other required tests like Distemper/Parvo tests, sometimes even sonography, skin scrapping, Fnac tests. 
  8. Once the diagnosis is done, the animal is put on medical treatment as prescribed by our vet that may also include daily saline, injections, medicated baths etc. In many cases surgeries are also scheduled for tumour removal, eye extraction, amputation and other required surgical procedures. 
  9. Once the course of medication is done, we get take the animal for a follow up and in a lot cases tests are repeated to check the progress. 
  10. If the animal has recovered we get them vaccinated and sterilised with our private vet. If not the treatment continues and in many cases the animal remain with us for very lengthy period as long as one year. 
  11. Once the animal totally fit, we release them in their own areas. In many cases the animals are not fit for release or they have a lifelong ilnness they become our permanent residents. 
  12. Sometimes, even after doing our best some animals lose the fight and pass away. We ensure we give them their rightful funeral by having them buried, which is also a paid service. 
Our shelter expenses crosses 7 to 8 lakhs a month (minimum), sometimes more than that. We are far away from decent medical infrastructure, hence we end up traveling almost 500kms within a week for our vet visits. We do not compromise on quality of medical care or food.
We need your help to raise funds for our monthly expenses and request you to help us with any amount.
