WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
"Practical activism" - helping animals through direct action. All our projects are strictly grassroots and hands-on.
Moderation, not extremism. Our aim is harmonious co-existence between humans and street dogs. We do not believe one should benefit at the expense of the other. We believe the best way to protect street dogs is to make them as inconspicuous as possible and to reduce their nuisance value.
Providing realistic, workable solutions to street dog-related problems.
Maximising public involvement. We try to make the largest number of people as active as possible.
A strict no-kill policy.
Raising animal healthcare standards.
