Appeal

Your contributions will support the rescue and rehabilitation of the injured, orphaned and trafficked animals that come to RESQ. Our mobile animal emergency teams conduct between 10-15 rescues daily. Some of these cases are of animals which get stuck in difficult situations e.g., birds caught in manja on heights or animals fallen in deep wells. Our technical rescue teams respond at such times and those who are found injured, sick, or orphaned, are admitted to our RESQ centre in Pune where our team of veterinarians and rehabilitators provide medical aid and rehabilitation care until they are fit for reintroduction to their natural habitat.

Funds generated through your generous contributions will be used to procure medicines and surgical equipment, animal feed, and animal care supplies to facilitate the rescue and rehabilitation of over 10,000 animals that RESQ provides aid to each year.
