All over India, animals are suffering. Whether they are injured by traffic accidents, dogs with mange and other skin problems, female dogs with emaciated puppies, abandoned donkeys, overworked and malnourished horses and bullocks or cows roaming the streets living on waste and plastic bags – they are all suffering.
In Puttaparthi the situation was no different.
At Karuna Society, after more than 13 years, thousands of animals have received free treatment and a new life. Thanks to many animal loving donors, the hospital now offers the following services:
- Shelter and medical treatment for any injured stray or owned animal including dogs, cats, birds, monkeys, and donkeys.
- Outpatient clinic for dogs and cats and animals rescued by the public.
- Lifetime care for those disabled animals who can not be released back onto the streets after recovery. They live within the hospital compounds and move around freely. They receive special care, have a social life and are loved.
