I recently sought help for a street dog (I named her Seeti because she always comes running at the sound of my whistle) who had TVT, a type of life-threatening cancer. I called up a vet in my area who directed me to Bark India Charitable Trust . Their volunteers came within 24hrs to pick Seeti up, started her on chemotherapy, and dropped her back in no time. She’s been recovering very well ever since.  

You can check the We For Animals listing to find such organizations. You can also check People For Animals registered units and hospitals on their websites .  

Don’t have the time to cater to your neighborhood dogs? Try helping out those doing great work for the voiceless by donating and sponsoring whatever you can.

In the past few years, I have regularly donated to a bunch of individual stray dog caregivers in Bangalore like Ayyappa Kolluru , Sanjana Narendra , Nabanita Chakraborty , and Tanya Singh , to name a few.
