Who we are

Ending stray animal suffering, one locality at a time.

A public charitable trust in Bengaluru since 2021. We run our own shelter and veterinary hospital at Begur, a full-time surgical and field team, and a case-management platform that records every animal we treat.

Why two programmes

Two kinds of suffering. Two programmes to end them.

TodayThe years ahead
Short-term suffering

The animal in pain right now

Hit by a vehicle, a maggot-infested wound, a mother in obstructed labour. Without surgery, these animals die slowly on the street.

Project LifelineTrauma surgery, recovery and vaccination
Long-term suffering

The litters not yet born

A single unsterilised female can give birth to 12 to 18 pups a year, most of them into hunger, disease and traffic.

Animal Birth Control, one locality at a time. We catch each dog humanely, screen and sterilise it in our own hospital, care for it through recovery, and return it to the exact street it came from.

Project Lifeline · The gap

Trauma care is priced out of a rescuer's reach

Private hospital fracture plating + 10 days admitted
₹38,000 – ₹1,00,000
Mylos, in-house same case at Begur, at cost
₹32,000
What the rescuer raises 50%, the rest funded through Mylos
₹16,000
Every day
rescuers find animals with fractures, deep wounds and abdominal emergencies. Most go untreated because the bill is too high.
Lifeline brings that bill within reach
Private rates: metro mid-tier fracture plating ₹20,000–40,000; hospital stay ₹1,800–6,000 a day (2026 guides)

How they come together

One hospital. Two timelines. One goal.

Project LifelineRelief in days

Every rescue treated is suffering ended now, and a new tie with the rescuers and feeders who know each street.

Project ImpactRelief over years

Every sterilisation means fewer litters born into injury, hunger and disease, so fewer animals need rescue later.

Partners see each case as it happens, so every rupee traces to a named animal, vet and place.
