Join Sudha’s mission to rescue and save the lives of critically injured street animals

Stray dogs and other animals on the streets live a life of acute deprivation. The most painful part is the manner in which they meet their end–lonely and helpless. While some may sustain grave injuries after being run over by vehicles, others are at the risk of starvation and illness. Often, people ignore their plight as they are strays. But not Sudha Narayanan. It’s been almost a decade since Sudha decided to set up a hospital and shelter home for stray dogs and other animals. Sudha’s NGO Charlie’s Animal Rescue Centre (CARE), since its inception in 2013, has saved the lives of thousands of stray animals with urgent trauma care and medical help. Sudha has shouldered a significant amount of the cost of treatment for these animals for a decade. But owing to a steep rise in the cost of medicines she is now struggling to keep the doors of CARE open for helpless street animals.  

CARE cannot bear the cost of critical medicines needed to save sick and injured animals and urgently needs support so it can continue to rescue voiceless animals from the streets. Donate Now.

Plight of the voiceless

Stray animals not only suffer from road accidents and bear the brunt of starvation and sickness, but also face unimaginable acts of abuse at the hands of human beings. Sudha says, “People pour acid on stray dogs and cats. They are beaten, have their legs broken and even sexually abused…injured animals often receive no care or attention from people around them. They are forced to crawl into a ditch where they die a painful death unnoticed.”

CARE has taken up the responsibility of providing life-saving trauma care and medical intervention to the strays. The NGO’s rescue helpline receives numerous calls throughout the day. CARE’s team brings the rescued animals to its trauma care centre, where the sick and the injured are admitted and taken care of. With the help of proper medical care the animals are nursed back to health. The animals who are no longer fit to survive on their own due to serious injuries are kept in the NGO’s shelter home which is currently home to over 150 stray animals including dogs, cats, birds etc. 

The struggle to stay afloat

With their rescue helplines ringing off the hook and the number of helpless animals increasing with each passing day, CARE is finding it difficult to keep going. “The number of animals we save and shelter are increasing continuously. And if we don't get the support we require, unfortunately these animals will also be left without anybody to look after them. We need a huge amount of money for critical care medicines, for animal care items and for the essential food needed for the sick and injured animals. Help us save their lives because if you don’t help us, we will not be able to help them.” 

A loving mother to countless voiceless animals, Sudha is in urgent need of your help to save them from meeting a painful end on the streets. Donate now.
