People for Animals (PfA), Bengaluru, is a nonprofit wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre established in 1996. Licensed by the Karnataka Forest Department and recognised by the Central Zoo Authority of India and the Animal Welfare Board of India, PfA operates 24/7 to rescue, treat, rehabilitate, and release urban wild animals affected by accidents, electrocution, habitat loss, and urbanisation.

Over the years, PfA has saved more than 46,000 animals across 231 species. Our expert team of veterinarians provides advanced care, including surgeries, laser physiotherapy, electro-acupuncture, and prosthetics. Once recovered, animals undergo behavioural and environmental rehabilitation before being released back into their original territories — a moment we cherish deeply.

PfA also engages in public awareness programs and ecological initiatives such as restoring water sources in fringe forests, playing a vital role in preserving Bengaluru's biodiversity.
