Help Animals India

“I don’t know if we could have made it without them”

This it truly a difficult time to fund activities "lifting suffering from the Animal Realm". It’s heart wrenching to see all the suffering on the streets, and think of having to curtail activities because of insufficient funding. These are such innocent souls.

We have been involved in lifting so much suffering. Thank you for the Help Animals India grants which covered the activities of ABC (animal birth control) operations, rescues, and some general activities. Also the grant for the ambulance. No need to be too explicit about how difficult it was catching 4,400 animals in these last few years for ABC sterilizations and vaccinations without an ambulance using only rickshaws. Or having to scramble to get a vehicle to go on a rescue mission that needed a larger vehicle.

These grants were major for us and don’t know if we could have made it without them. Again, thank you Help Animals India.

Financial Transparency

We’re an All-Volunteer non-profit Charity

Help Animals India is an all-volunteer USA non-profit 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to supporting efficient and effective animal protection organizations in India.

We strive to put our donors’ contributions to work where they are most needed and can do the most good.

The Challenge for India’s Animals

Despite some of the best animal protection laws in the world and a renowned heritage of reverence for life, modern India is a country where millions of animals suffer severe neglect or abuse.

Overpopulation, poverty, pollution, superstition, apathy and ignorance all contribute to their plight. In a country where human misery and impoverishment remain high, the welfare of destitute animals is a low priority.

Help Animals India’s Contribution

India’s animals have strong indigenous allies. The nation is blessed with many dedicated animal welfare organizations.

Help Animals India seeks out the best of these under funded organizations to provide financial and practical assistance where it can make the most difference.

We strive not only to achieve immediate benefits for India’s animals, but to nurture an enduring culture of animal protectionism.

Our goal is for all animals to live the lives they would choose for themselves.

HOPE and Animal Trust ambulance

Help Animals India donated this vehicle for HOPE and Animal Trust — its first one to help the animals. It is multipurpose: education and awareness activities, ABC (animal birth control) camps in rural areas, treatments and vaccinations. The posters to the sides of the logo show in Hindi and in pictures (for those who are illiterate) the proper way to relate to the street/community dogs – many people in India are afraid of them and don’t know how to interact with them.

Help Animals India currently distributes grants to the following hard-working groups:
