3. It's Feeding Time:
We all can agree upon the fact that animals too have emotions. They also feel fear, anxiety, happiness, love and not to forget hunger. So to make sure that no dog sleeps hungry we have established feeding spots where you can go and feed animals, in this session we will show you the locations of the various feeding spots and also give you a hands-on experience.

4. A trip to Friendicoes Sanctuary, Gurgaon:
Located around 54 kms away from the city shelter, in a small village called Gopalpur Khera in Gurgaon, the sanctuary is home to almost 1000 animals. These are the animals who have either grown up there since they were babies, lost a limb to an accident, or are suffering from old age or some chronic disorder making them unfit to scavenge on the streets.
For more information, visit friendicoes.org
If you love animals, then this is your place to be. If you are scared of them then this is your opportunity to remove your fears and who knows you might even start loving them :). Also, you will get to see animals you would have never seen before.
