| Project Name | Construction of Canine Rehabilitation Shelter |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 435200 |
| Project Description | Funds were utilized by World For All to construct a Canine Rehabilitation Shelter in Karjat, designed to provide long-term care for aged, injured, and disabled street dogs suffering from conditions such as paralysis, neurological disorders, blindness, and chronic illnesses. The facility is equipped with a fully functional surgical operation theatre, kennels, a grooming room, a kitchen for preparing fresh meals, and open spaces for the animals’ well-being.
The shelter has the capacity to house over 300 canines requiring lifelong care. Staffed by a qualified medical team, the shelter enables rescue, surgical intervention, treatment, and post-operative care. The project aims to offer a safe, compassionate space for emergency cases from Mumbai and neglected rural regions of Maharashtra, ensuring every animal receives dignified care and a respectful end-of-life.

| Beneficiary Group | Others |
| Beneficiary Description | The beneficiaries comprise rescued street dogs who cannot survive independently due to severe medical or physical conditions such as neurological disorders, partial or full paralysis, limb loss, autism, blindness, epilepsy, or other disabilities. This also includes injured and unsterilized street animals requiring urgent care.
All have endured significant trauma from accidents, cruelty, or abandonment. Rescued by WFA, they now receive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lifelong shelter in a safe, dignified environment, ensuring comfort, care, and the love they have never previously experienced.
|
| Impact | The Canine Rehabilitation Shelter in Karjat has already provided a safe haven for 75 permanently disabled and chronically ill dogs along with 2 birds and 1 snake, offering them lifelong care in a secure and nurturing environment. Additionally, the facility has conducted sterilization camps in and around the Takue area of Karjat, successfully sterilizing over 260 street dogs in and around Karjat, and vaccinating another 340 dogs against rabies and distemper—significantly contributing to population control and disease prevention in the region.
The shelter has also eased the operational burden on World For All’s Mumbai facility by relocating permanent residents to Karjat. This has created additional capacity to admit and treat more emergency cases in the city, thereby enhancing the overall reach and efficiency of rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
