Many large Resident Welfare Associations (RWA) and Managing committees (MC) write to us asking us to take away all the stray dogs from their societies/gated community/ buildings etc. They don’t realize that relocating stray dogs is an illegal act. VOSD is the world’s largest no-kill rescue and sanctuary, and the largest provider of legal and medical expertise on dogs. And we would like to provide a legal framework for stray dogs so that everyone understand the rights of Stray Dogs and what they can and cannot do when it comesRead More

URGENT REVAMP REQUIRED AT VOSD SANCTUARY CLINIC  I  http://ket.to/VOSDSanctuaryClinic VOSD Sanctuary clinic was built 6 yrs ago when we had 20 dogs.

Life in India is changing fast, but not fast enough for our street dogs. Haven’t you felt sad looking at the dogs in street? The terror. The hunger. The emptiness. Haven’t you wondered how could make it better. The best hope is for one to be rescued. But a rescued dog waits for either of 2 things – to get adopted or die waiting. Each ‘shelter’ or rescue has a limited geographical footprint. Could it be any different? Well, VOSD makes a difference by supporting rescuers and rescue efforts acrossRead More

Facing hostile neighbours if you feed or otherwise take care of dogs is not new. But it has to be dealt with in a firm manner. First stay calm. Do not get into a slanging match or a showdown. The law and order machinery is on your side, and you should leverage it to protect yourself and the dogs. These are the 3 main things you should know: First, you are well within your rights to feed dogs that are in the locality and any neighbours or RWA cannot put inRead More
