Strays

"We realised that when the dogs were there, thefts in the area reduced. So we called up the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to get the dogs vaccinated and sterilised."

After feeding underprivileged children, the man has come up with a new initiative in Thane, Roti Ghar for Stray dogs. Since August 1st, 2018, he was been feeding more than 100 stray dogs.

Panchot has an informal village trust christened the ‘Madh ni Pati Kutariya Trust’ which holds this land. And while the land may not technically be in the dogs’ names, all the income from the land is set aside for the dogs.

Hundreds of stray animals, as well as birds, die due to the scorching heat and lack of access to clean drinking water.

We all know just how curious cats can be. Murugammal had kept some curd in a steel pot; the cat dipped her head into it, and it somehow got stuck.

Placing his body on a hand-pulled cart, the residents held a procession as per traditional rituals with a dhol playing in the background. He was then laid to rest with a burial.

Despite putting a call for help on social media, the fact that support didn’t reach in time irked Yash. He also realised there was a massive void in the animal care space and there was no platform that connected animal lovers during such exigencies in real time. This lead to Yash’s brainchild, the ‘Let it Wag’ app.

Most of these dogs were infected and malnourished. With unending love and compassion, Surya and Anju nursed them back to health.

Ensure that you stay calm before approaching the animal, they sense fear rather well.

They called it ‘Friendship Day With Wagging Tails,’ which was an initiative kickstarted by dog lover Nisha Suhanda, a Mulund resident.
