Help In Suffering Animal Hospital

Here is one of the ambulances used to pick up animals.

Although this looks like a deer, it's actually an antelope - called "Nilgai" - found in remote areas!

These are all street dogs that have just received their rabies vaccination.

Melanie fell in love with this playful little puppy!

We've become quite the dog vigilantes since moving to S. Asia. This is a difficult place to live if you like animals, especially dogs. There are almost as many street dogs here as there are people. Lots of them are sick, starving or hurt. We have a route that we walk every day or every other day to feed and check on all the dogs in our neighborhood. We've found many that were badly hurt and we had no idea what to do for them. We looked on the internet and found an organization called "Help In Suffering." This is an organization that takes in injured animals, cares for them and then releases them. They have many other programs you can check out on their website: http://www.his-india.org.au/
All this to say that we went to visit Help In Suffering today, and it was a great experience. There were so many animals being taken care of that we were blown away. We saw donkeys, cows, horses, pigeons, green parrots, peacocks, monkeys, camels, water buffalo, mules, rabbits, cats and dogs. I can't tell you how great it was to see well fed dogs! We're pretty sure this will be a new favorite place for us to visit.
