Did you know we fly/ drive/ bring by train 100+ dogs from 30+ cities across India each year, and a similar number from Bangalore. VOSD ONLY takes dogs NOBODY else will take when they’re beaten, broken, mutilated, old, or aggressive. If a dog had no home in India, they have one at VOSD. And they have the best care in the world.
They come home to the first no-kill Dog Sanctuary in India, arguably the largest in the world, with 850+ resident dogs but definitely the finest. We’ve our own fully equipped 10,000+ sq feet hospital, surgeries, and recovery area. 3 large ambulances and a pickup dedicated to the dog’s needs. There are 50+ individual 100-200 sq ft kennels, underground drainage, underground irrigation, and underground electrical wiring over many acres. 3 swimming pools, a jet-powered hydrotherapy pool, and an agility park for dogs (under construction).
City of Dogs
Rescued dogs across India need more space, so this campaign was targeted at helping us expand from 900+ to 1,400+ dogs. This video captured only a glimpse of what we were doing, until your support propelled us to greater heights. We constructed 28 new enclosures over a 33,600 sq ft area with water, drainage, and power lines all underground. We’d like to thank you for helping India’s dogs by helping us expand. Every single donation and support made this remarkable journey possible!
50% of the VOSD sanctuary area has non-standard construction with unplanned/ poor land use. As a result one part of the sanctuary only houses ~250 dogs. Changing the land use there will easily bring this capacity to ~750+ dogs
Reconstruction over 33,600 sq feet
- 28 plots, each 30 feet x 40 feet are laid out on either side.
- Of a 10 feet wide stone path, such that the outer perimeter of these 30×40 feet plots is the outside boundary of the 1.5 acre plot.
- Each plot has a cement and concrete ‘house’ measuring 10×15 feet with one door and 2 windows so dogs have a 4 side open area and indoor area.
- The layout factors in the 300 trees planted in this area not cutting or pruning any of them.
28 Plots each with-
- 1 room measuring 150 sq feet of flooring + 150 sq feet or roofing with 10’ high concrete brick walls, plastered and painted with washable distemper & with 2 windows, 1 door (total 4200 sq feet of roofed area)
- Underground drainage for all plots.
- Power connection for all rooms with light fittings.
- A set of 2 gates for each plot.
- 6 feet chain link fence on all sides but with 10 feet high cement wall on the external perimeter (~1000 running feet).
- Streetlights on steel masts at 200 feet along the path with 4 streetlights in each cluster.
- Motorable road between the plots (~1000 feet).
Increased Capacity
Total capacity in Phase 2 is ~750 dogs, up from ~250 dogs. Total capacity at VOSD Sanctuary will become ~1400 dogs, up from ~900 dogs.
