Did You Know?

  • India is home to an estimated 62 million stray dogs, many of whom lack access to basic medical care.
  • For injured street dogs, the first 24 hours after an accident often determine survival, yet most never receive treatment in time.
  • A no-kill sanctuary means dogs who cannot be released due to injury, age, or trauma receive lifelong care and protection.
  • Severe cases such as spinal injuries, acid attacks, and multiple fractures require months or even years of rehabilitation.
  • At VOSD, hundreds of dogs are permanent residents because returning them to the streets would be unsafe or fatal.
