HELPLESSNESS is usually what people feel when street dogs are beaten, hit by rocks or laying motionless on the ground after a road accident. While many animal lovers make frantic calls to animal helplines to rescue hurt street dogs, the animal rescue services we need are not not always available or arrive on time to save their lives. Darshan and India Animal Foundation decided to do something about this and have been rescuing and rehabilitating street dogs across India. Darshan, along with this animal NGO in India, gives the rescued dogs much needed safe shelter, medical care, healthy food and rebuilding the broken trust between them and humans who often mistreat them in horrible ways.
What drives people to hurt street dogs?
“When somebody hates animals and cannot get rid of them, they hurt them”, explains Darshan who has dedicated his life to helping abused animals. He goes on to share that this compassion-driven animal NGO in India has received many cases of people throwing acid or boiling hot oil on dogs, hitting them with steel rods or deliberately crushing them under their vehicles. In other cases of extreme abandonment, we have come across small puppies who are tied up in plastic bags and dumped in remote locations. These acts of violence leave the poor animals permanently disfigured or even dead.
Darshan and the team from the animal NGO in India explain the condition in which they find these abused street dogs. “The dogs have fractures or broken bones and are filled with fear at what might happen to them next”. But the most painful aspect of this abuse is that the end of their lives is spent alone and in unimaginable pain because of the abuse they were forced to endure through no fault of their own.

Facing the world alone
In addition to mistreatment at the hands of people who want to hurt them, street dogs are also vulnerable to the harsh realities of life on the streets without anyone to care for them. From observations of rescued dogs, this animal NGO in India explains that street dogs have to face extreme hunger and thirst in areas without food and water which are crucial to keeping an animal alive. Besides this, street dogs have to cope with extreme weather conditions such as the bitter cold, pouring rain or the searing heat.
How this animal NGO in India steps in to rescue hurt street dogs
Darshan and the team from this passionate animal NGO in India respond to distress calls from concerned citizens and rescue street dogs that are victims of either road accidents or abuse at the hands of humans who deliberately hurt them. Once rescued, the abused animals are brought to the shelter run by this animal NGO in India where they are made to feel safe. The animals are given emergency medical care to treat any wounds they may have sustained and the required medical procedures to treat their injuries.
The street dogs are also given nutritious food to help them get stronger and heal from their injuries. This is especially important for young animals such as puppies who are often separated from their mothers and are in need of vital nutrition during their growing years. This compassionate animal NGO in India also undertakes sterilization drives so that newborn street dogs do not have to suffer the mistreatment of their young in the future. Animal birth control measures are often seen as a compassionate way to help stray animals by improving their future living conditions.
Crucial to the vision of this animal NGO in India is to advocate for policy changes to protect stray animals as well as inform and empower the people who continually help street animals and desire their well being. It is also a core part of the mission of this animal NGO and their fundraiser to raise awareness among the general public about human-animal coexistence. Whether pet dogs or street dogs, there are ways that we can mitigate the harm done to the millions of streets dogs in India by caring for stray animals and providing them with a chance at a dignified life.
