Why should you donate to a dog shelter?

Dog shelters house too many dogs and they all need care in the form of food, medical facilities, and a safe and protective shelter. In order to establish such shelters, they need help from the community or the government. Across the world, millions of dogs get euthanized simply because there is no room anymore and they have not been adopted. If the shelters had more resources, this can be avoided. However, it is not only money that can help. People can contribute with their time, energy, donate food, and bedding, etc.

  • Make a donation: Every bit helps. Donate what you can towards doggy care.
  • Give your time: Volunteering is always welcomed in dog shelters. You can walk the dogs, help in feeding them, be a friend to the dogs, get involved in the activities of the shelter as they try to garner funds for its upkeep. You can volunteer in an administrative capacity by answering the phones, managing the website, and promoting the shelter through social media.
  • Donate supplies: You can find out what your local dog shelter needs and donate toys, bedding, crates, heating pads, food, etc. Make sure the toys are safe for dogs of all sizes, and all that you donate have been checked for quality.
  • Adopt a dog: Adopting a dog from the shelter or getting one of the rescue dogs is a great way to contribute to the welfare of dogs and it would help the shelter in having one less dog to provide for.

Is VOSD the right charity for dogs? What makes us different?

VOSD prides itself on being the world’s largest ecosystem of no-kill rescue, rehabilitation and lifelong care for dogs, and the services that support it. We rescue over 200 dogs a year across 30 cities and take special care to provide the best environment for these dogs, giving them a second chance at life.

If you are equally passionate about the welfare of strays and abandoned pet dogs, do your bit to help safeguard your companions by supporting our charity for dogs in India through donations or by volunteering. When you donate to a dog’s welfare at VOSD, you can be assured that the highest standards of hygiene, safety, and welfare are adhered to as we scale up our operations.

Donation for Dogs in India: How do they help?

We help rehabilitate strays who are incapable of fending for themselves due to abuse or their health conditions and play an integral part in a stray dog’s life. VOSD is located near Bangalore, India, and hundreds of rescued dogs reside here lifelong without ever worrying about food, shelter, and care. Our entire workforce is passionate about helping these dogs live a life of dignity, and your donations for dogs help us continue on our mission.

About VOSD: Your Questions Answered

How is VOSD different from other animal shelters in the country?

First and foremost, VOSD isn’t an animal shelter, but a sanctuary with the capacity to take care of ~1400 rescued dogs that can live at our premises for life. We cater to the most difficult cases of rehabilitation such as dogs that have been blinded with acid, sexually assaulted, run over & paralyzed. We give these dogs a second chance at life and a safe home.

All dogs at VOSD Sanctuary are free to roam within their 50+ enclosures spread across the 3.5-acre area as they are never chained or left in isolation. The dogs also have access to a veterinary hospital, 24*7 water & power supply, agility parks & a jet-powered hydrotherapy pool.

In the early days of inception, founder Rakesh Shukla privately funded the organization. Later, VOSD started creating a series of product and entertainment brands/properties to help support operations, funded and patronized by dog lovers worldwide:

  • Art for Dogs (a dog inspired art exhibition)
  • Barking Mad (a stand-up comedy special)
  • Howling Mad (a music festival)
  • Stars for Dogs (invites celebrities)
  • Monster Bake (a dog food baking festival)

Since 2019, VOSD has started accepting donations online across India and the world, and since then over 20,000 donors/supporters have been sending in donations to help grow the VOSD ecosystem and care for the VOSD dogs.

VOSD and its entire workforce believe in the ideology of serving our dogs with the same level of care and shelter as is given to a pet dog. It has never let go of any dog on account of a lack of resources, space, or finances.

As an organization, VOSD has a strong No-Kill policy. Only if a dog is in unbearable pain and has no chances of recovery is euthanizing considered an option. However, to prevent abuse of the dogs at any level, the process requires three signatures in total (two from professional vets and the third being of the VOSD founder).

According to Indian bylaws, all online donations/direct bank transfers for nonprofit organizations that you do in INR get an 80G tax exemption.

Each month, VOSD requires a minimum amount of INR 17.5 lakhs to manage and run the VOSD sanctuary as is. Your funding is used to support one of these operational costs:

  • Food & nutrition
  • Operations & maintenance
  • Medical aid & treatments for our dogs
  • Speciality support from veterinary hospitals in Bangalore city
