Hello kind donors!
My name is Aditi and I am 31 years old. I run an animal rehab/shelter for animals in Dombivli, Thane District, India. My family has been into rescue work and stray feeding since forever. I have been a rescuer since I was a little girl. All my childhood years were spent around animals and I felt very happy just being around them. I am fortunate that I was born into such a compassionate family. There is a lot more to my animal rescue journey which I keep talking about on my social media handles! You can connect with me through my pages.

Due to sluggish animal birth control measures by the government, the population of stray animals has exploded beyond measure in our district. The stray animals here receive very little help in terms of medical care and rehabilitation. Since we are the only animal shelter in this region, we receive heavy inflow of rescue cases on a daily basis.
We are currently running at a capacity of 150 plus animals that include blind, paralysed, disabled, sick, injured, abandoned animals. We have a lot of senior dogs with us that no longer had the capability of fighting the street life and needed a comfort nest to retire. We feed 500 to 700 stray dogs and few cats on a daily basis. We cater to the medical needs of stray animals right at the spot or bring them to the rehab/shelter provide critical care.
After
Apart from providing medical care and rehab, we also pick up stray animals for sterilisation and release them to their territories by having them vaccinated as well.
From our feedong drive - we feed all night in an autorickshaw!

We started almost 3 years ago in a small hut with 5 sick dogs and paved this difficult path with utmost difficulties during Covid Lockdown.
In fact, my work was acknowledge and I was given an award by Peta India for my work for animals during the lockdown.

We travel as far as 1000kms on a weekly basis to provide the best medical care possible at cheap rates. We also travel around 20kms daily to feed animals on a daily basis. Since we do not have a vehicle we travel by hired auto rickshaws (we just cannot afford hired cars)
From our feedong drive - we feed all night in an autorickshaw!
Autorickshaws are not only unsafe for the animals and our team, but also very inconvenient and expensive for such frequent and extensive use. I myself travel in these autos late in the night for rehab/shelter/feeding reasons and don't feel safe. We also have other female team members and all of us feel extremely unsafe and uncomfortable traveling in hired vehicles, especially in secluded spots or during late hours.
During summers, it is very difficult to travel in an Non AC vehicle, it makes our rescued animals very uneasy! In rainy season, we often get stuck in flood affected areas and we get drenched as these autos are not rain waterproof!
So our main pain point as of today is NOT HAVING A CAR OF OUR OWN! Hence, I appeal to you to help us by donating whatever you can to help us buy a vehicle so that we can continue working animals more efficiently.
We will be using this vehicle for our rescue work, to feed animals on a daily basis and to procure food/materials for our rehab/shelter.It will not only ease our daily operations, but also bring down transport costs by 50 to 70%
Please help us by donating whatever you can today! I truly believe in purity of my love for animals and I know my kind supporters will help me buy a vehicle that we require so desperately!
