"Its not easy to walk away from someone, animal or human, who is vulnerable, and in need Particularly animals, who like infants and children, the disadvantaged and the elderly, have no voice to speak. A dog with his complete trust, courageous loyalty and unjudgemental, undemanding love reminds me of the goodness that exists in the world. They need some water in their bowl, some food in their hungry bellies, and a warm pat on the head. God protects the truly vulnerable, but I think it's time you and I lent a helping hand too. Time, volunteering, provisions, resources, love or just ideation. We can help,and we should. "

“Dogs always steal my heart...especially the little pups out on the street. Before I moved to India , I adopted two Dalmatians, Kirby and Lucy, brother and sister, from the well organized Dalmatian Rescue Society in San Francisco , CA . They were abused and needed a home. Adopting them was easy and they brought incredible joy. Living in India and traveling across Asia Pacific makes makes it much more difficult to have dogs in my life - and this breaks my heart. Pets remind me to be in the present moment, forgive, and love fearlessly. What I do is adopt pets online. I do this and get a picture of the dog I sponsored...so I have an entire family of virtual dogs. I have also gotten my family into the routine of sponsoring dogs on my behalf for holidays...a much better gift for me than something I don't need or won't use in a few months. Right now my dad has pictures in his office of my dogs...the dogs he sponsored for me. This is the best, most heartfelt gift...a way to receive and also give. How about a Valentine Dog?”

Sponsor a Day's food-Sunday Again!
Jellicle, kickstarted the sponsor food a day scheme. Ysterday's food at the shelter was sponsored by Jellicle. Puppies had milk spiked with complan as their first meal and adults had nutripet. The second meal was rice and meat for adult dogs and puppy food for the pups. It just cost Jellicle 1500 and the waggy tails happily finished their meals off. Pictures to follow.
You can do that to celebrate your birthday or your pet's :) or can decide to make any day special for these lovely dogs and pups. You can make the food more nutritous and interesting by asking us to add to the menu/recipe.
Sunday's meal is being sponsored by a lady. She has asked us to provide ragi, milk and water broth in the morning and rice, curd and eggs for the second meal. Puppies will get milk and complan in their morning feed and same meal as adult dogs in the afternoon. It might cost her a little more.
Will post about it! You are welcome to come over and supervise the food preparation and serving time and be a part of this happy day!

Help!
We support an animal shelter called ‘Anand Chhaaya Animal Welfare organisation’ in Bangalore where we have about 170 dogs on our premises and feed a hundred more dogs. We also vaccinate and sterilize dogs after befriending them. This is a totally privately funded registered organization. We do not get any funds from the government.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have lost the donations from our main contributor. Hence we have been unable to even feed the dogs well for the last couple of months. We are in dire need of funds and appeal to all dog lovers to support us in any way they can. People willing to adopt dogs would be a blessing. All contributions to this organization are exempt from income tax under the section 80G.
If any of you, or your friends, would like to visit the shelter, or make any contributions, please contact us. The shelter is located at Bairathi Halli, near Hennur, Off Banaswadi Ring Road, Bangalore. Please find attached some pictures of the shelter.
