Hospitals and Ambulances

PFA has hospitals in Delhi Gurgaon, Gwalior,. Chandigarh, Lucknow, Chennai, Guwahati, Bangalore, Agra, Firozabad, Goa and Kolkata. We add 3 to 5 hospitals every year. PFA runs over 60 ambulances around India.

Our hospitals are designed as 24 hour all-animal multi-purpose veterinary centres to provide:

   *   Regular modern veterinary aid for owned animals.

   *   Emergency care for sick, wounded and rescued animals.

   *   Surgical facilities to conduct sterilization programmes for street animals.

   *   A 24 hour helpline and ambulance service to respond to animal-related emergencies.

   *   Kennels for vacationing pet-owners.

   *   A permanent refuge for unwanted animals.

On an average, PFA hospitals treat or home over 50,000 animals a year.

Animal Birth Control (ABC)  

As long as there is garbage on the streets, stray animals will multiply or move in to fill that biological niche. PFA went to court against the useless municipal killing of street dogs and has been successful in putting into place an effective sterilization programme all across India. Street dogs are caught, operated, tagged and inoculated before being returned to their original areas to live out their natural lives healthily and harmlessly. PFA is conducting the ABC programme in all the major metros.

Today, the ABC programme is official government policy.

Monkey Shelter

PFA runs India's only monkey shelter which has taken in almost 100 monkeys rescued from research laboratories all over the country. Hanuman Vatika provides specialized care and nurturing for these traumatized and often deformed animals. A full-time vet, consulting nutritionist and shelter attendants provide nutritious food, physiotherapy and, above all, kindness to heal their bruised bodies and spirit.

Entirely sponsored by internet leader NOW ISP, Hanuman Vatika is a unique and extremely successful example of Corporate-NGO partnership. 

Wildlife Wing

PFA runs a 24 hour wildlife rescue service SOWL (Save Our Wildlife) that has rescued 2098 animals during 2000-2001 with 78% being successfully returned to their natural habitat.  

Apart from rescue, PFA performs the equally valuable task of educating people to recognise trapped wild animals as lost and frightened victims who need help rather than dangerous aggressors who must be killed.
