We need a new Rescue Vehicle to collect and transport sick and injured animals to our animal hospital in rural Rajasthan, India. TOLFA has been saving the lives of street animals since 2005. We have a busy hospital able to care for 600 patients at a time. We have increased the number of street treatments which now keeps one of our existing vehicles occupied. We need a new Rescue Vehicle to attend to emergency rescue calls and take sick animals back to our hospital for treatment and care.

The global Covid-19 Virus crisis is affecting the whole world. In India we are facing a nationwide lockdown and restrictions that are having a severe impact on our ability to help sick and injured animals. This project will provide emergency funding to help TOLFA get through these uncertain and unpredictable times. Supplies of food and medicines are getting harder to source and what we can get is becoming more expensive. We want to ensure we can keep helping the animals who rely on us.

There are an estimated 30 million free-roaming dogs on India's streets. There are also cows, cats, donkeys and other animals that live on the streets with noone to care for them when they become sick or injured. TOLFA animal hospital and shelter provides essential veterinary care and compassion for these animals through our Rescue Project. In 2019 we admitted 6,000 animals to our hospital and treated another 2,500 on the streets. We have 2 rescue vehicles responding to emergency calls every day.
