Descripción
We are a registered Animal Welfare Organization established and supported by animal lovers of Coimbatore city in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Established in April 2006 as a charitable trust deeply committed to animal welfare, since inception, we have been working with the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation for Animal Birth Control/Anti-Rabies Vaccination program at the sterilization centre in Seeranaickenpalayam, Tamil Nadu, India.
We endeavor to actively promote adoption and prevent unwanted breeding through effective implementation of the animal birth control program. We rescue and provide food, shelter and love to stray animals and rehabilitate them appropriately. We also conduct Anti-Rabies Vaccine camps and awareness camps to get the community involved in the prevention of cruelty to animals and help improve the lives of animals in the city. From very humble beginnings of spaying and neutering about 70 dogs a month in 2006, today we border between 250 and 300 street dog sterilizations every month.
We enable rescue and adoption of over 500 animals and also conduct several ARV and Public Awareness Camps every year. We take immense pride in the protection of all animals through advocacy, education and hands-on programs. Our Sanctuary at the outskirts of the city is home to over 50 differently abled animals.

Our Sanctuary is maintained as a farm where animals enjoy nature and the people who care for them live in a pristine environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We need volunteers who have a passion for Gardening and Farming to help maintain our plants and trees.
We care for over 150 animals everyday at our shelter in the city as well as sanctuary at the out-skirts and need volunteers who can help care for these animals along with our veterinarians and staff.
We run many events and campaigns for creating awareness on animal welfare and need volunteers who can create good posters, videos and communication in English that highlight our work and inspire more people to contribute their time, effort and funds for the welfare of animals.
We are constantly creating structures that help our animals live comfortably in peace and harmony with nature and looking for volunteers who can assist our staff in building areas that are suitable for training and re-homing abandoned pets.
We create awareness through school and college contact programs and need volunteers who are good at instruction, deliver lectures and presentations on animal welfare in an effective manner.
Our shelter and sanctuary are always requiring maintenance and we welcome volunteers who like to work with their hands in mending fences, creating enclosures, painting etc.

I had a great time volunteering at the shelter! Everybody is very supportive whenever they can, especially Mini, despite her own busy schedule, always checked out if everything was alright and that we were having a comfortable time. She and others absolutely showed the gratitude towards the volunteers. They are doing a lot of things: dealing with… read more

Anne quickly settled in and put herself to work diligently and it was such a pleasure to have her around. She was always positive and spread happiness and cheer amongst the staff as well as the animals. Thank you so much for all your wonderful work and we hope you can return some day to be with us again.

I spent two weeks at the shelter in March, and I enjoyed very much this experience and to stay there.
The shelter is very clean and professionnal, and dogs (and cats) receive the best cares.
Everything is very well organised for the volunteer's accomodation, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

I spent 3 weeks volunteering at the shelter where I fell in love with the beautiful animals staying there! As the regular staff are often busy with routine tasks, volunteers are desperately needed to spend time walking, cuddling, bathing, playing with and generally caring/ showing affection for the animals!

Jade brought such an immense positive energy to our shelter animals.

Calling all animal lovers! If you ever find yourself in South India and in need of some serious pooch time, look no further than this place in Coimbatore :) Due to some unfortunate circumstances (unrelated) I had to leave prematurely from my placement with Mini and the team, but what a wonderful two weeks I had at the shelter!

It was wonderful to have her stay long term as well - since, projects like these have a significant warm-up time. Sophia is a very compassionate individual with a wonderful way with both animals and people. Her… read more

Since this was my first workaway experience,I really enjoyed my time here. I was warmly welcomed by all the members and I felt comfortable from the first minute. Everyone gave lots of effort to make me have a nice time. I had a nice flat for my own,with awesome neighbours living there. This really was a local experience.

We spent two weeks working on the farm sanctuary, situated outside of the city. We stayed in a cottage near the farm, and as we were the first volunteers to stay there, our first two days were spent cleaning and stocking it up. We also met the other, city-based volunteers and visited the city rescue centre. At the end of the second day we moved… read more

It was a pleasure to have Victoria work with us - she brought a lot of exposure and experience to our staff at the shelter. Even though the stay was short, we were able to accomplish quite a lot. We hope she can come again and stay with us longer.
