Here's how you can help to make it a kinder, safer world.
PAWS is setting the standard for how India can do an effective Animal Birth Control program that is well designed and scientifically sound for rabies control and safer communities. This alone, besides feeding and shelter, should move us to show our love and concern. You can actively participate in any of the ways listed below.

Donate
Your support helps us provide clean kennels, medicines, food, and daily care to animals who depend on the shelter for safety and recovery.
I want to donate
Adopt virtually
Adopt one of our dogs or cats virtually with a monthly contribution for its upkeep. We'll keep you informed on how your pet is doing periodically!
