🏥 COMMUNITY ANIMAL RESCUE STORY
Fuga's Fight for Survival
- Fuga was found suffering from a hematoma, where infected blood had saturated in his ear, making it clear that he needed immediate surgery.
- Team P.A.W.S. immediately rescued him and rushed him to the veterinarian.
- After examination, the medical team advised that surgical intervention was the only way to relieve his suffering and prevent further infection. Understanding the urgency of the situation, P.A.W.S. swiftly organised the necessary funds and ensured complete post-operative care.
- The surgery was successfully performed, and Fuga is now recovering under careful supervision.
- Every rescue is made possible through timely intervention, medical support, and the compassion of those who stand with us.

📚 AWARENESS & EDUCATION
Building Compassion at Capgemini Premises, Airoli
- This month, Team P.A.W.S. conducted an Animal Awareness Session at Capgemini, reaching 80 Staff members.
- The session focused on teaching individuals how to treat animals with care, kindness, and responsibility.
- Participants learned about basic animal behaviour, how to safely approach community animals, the importance of avoiding cruelty, and simple ways they can help animals in their neighbourhood.
- The interactive discussion encouraged staff members to ask questions, share experiences, and understand that animals feel pain, fear, and affection just like we do. By nurturing empathy, we are shaping a future that chooses compassion over cruelty, and coexistence over conflict.

💉 ANTI-RABIES VACCINATION DRIVE
Strengthening Protection in Dombivli to Badlapur
~100
Community Dogs Vaccinated on March 27th
- On 27th March, Team P.A.W.S. successfully conducted an Anti-Rabies Vaccination Drive across Titwala, Badlapur, and Palegaon (Ambernath), vaccinating approximately 100 community dogs.
- Rabies remains a preventable yet serious public health concern. Through proactive street-level vaccination, our team ensured that community animals received timely protection, contributing to the safety of both animals and residents.
- Working directly within the animals' territories allowed us to reach even the most timid and hard-to-approach dogs.
- Each vaccination was carefully administered and documented by our dedicated on-ground team. Every drive brings us one step closer to building a safer, rabies-free community.

⭐ SPECIAL FEATURE
Feeders Meet, First Aid Kits & Water Bowls Distribution & Felicitation of Feeders
- This month, Hope for PAWS Jaipur organised an exclusive Training Program for Animal Caretakers and Feeders on the subject of First Aid, Rescue & Treatment.
- The intensive 3-hour session was delivered by Dr. Nilesh Bhanage, Founder of PAWS (Mumbai), bringing with him 28 years of on-ground experience in animal welfare.
- The training covered essential first aid kit components, rescue techniques, safe approaches to animals, and how to assess emergency situations effectively. Participants were guided through identifying symptoms, understanding common diseases, basic diagnosis awareness, and appropriate response strategies.
- Special emphasis was placed on the safe handling of birds, wild mammals, dogs, and cats. The session concluded with an engaging question-and-answer round, where participants had the opportunity to clarify real-life rescue challenges.
- The highlight of the program was the hands-on practical experience, where trainees learned correct techniques for approaching and holding animals safely — a critical skill for any rescuer.
- The session not only strengthened technical knowledge but also inspired participants through the depth of experience and dedication shared during the training.
