This made us also to stop think for a moment...we taken-up the cause @ larger scale & started PAWS. With thousands of hurdles facing each year, carrying compassion under PAWS Banner. People feel that NGO's must provide on-lip-call service, free service, and round-the-clock service as anytime there is an emergency with animal on street, highway & so on...
