Dear Mark,   

We’re thrilled to share the latest developments of the land for our new hospital. Two years ago we purchased 14 acres of land just outside Udaipur where we will build Animal Aid’s forever home. We now have zoning permission (an arduous process required before construction) and electricity has been brought to the land. This month, we were thrilled to engage an Animal Shelter Facility expert who will work with us throughout the design and planning phase over the course of the next several years. With the experience of managing the facilities and construction at one of Asia’s best animal shelters, Soi Dog in Thailand, for 10 years, we are incredibly lucky to have an expert of the highest caliber joining us in this landmark phase of Animal Aid’s history.

Thanks to your outstanding support over Animal Aid’s life-time, the future Animal Aid hospital and shelter will be one of the biggest and best multi-species hospitals for unowned animals in Asia. We will be greatly expanding our hospital services to include diagnostics like X-ray and in-house laboratory; we’ll provide various types of housing to specifically accommodate animals based on their species, condition and length of stay; we’ll have large pastures, walking trails and off-leash areas; and great facilities for our staff such as an on-site cafeteria, and so much more! 

We look forward to sharing our milestones each step of the way. Thank you for making the future bright for animals. We couldn’t do it without you!

After chemo, Dev’s tumor shrank and his beautiful face returned

At first, Dev looked like he’d suffered a badly broken nose. Pus drained and his entire face was deformed from the swelling. We found him in a state of abject confusion and pain, pawing at his face. After catching him by net since he was very frightened and likely to flee as soon as we approached, we saw that it was a tumor open in several places and severely infected.

The tumor was so big that one of his eyes was completely closed shut. We determined after testing that the tumor was a less common presentation of a cancer called a transmissible venereal tumor (TVT). TVT usually manifests in the reproductive organs but occasionally migrates to the face. TVT can be treated with chemotherapy, administered over the course of many weeks, and sometimes even months, depending on the dog’s condition.

With a tumor as big and infected as his, we could only hope that the chemo would take effect quickly. Thankfully he responded well, and the tumor began to shrink in size.

After enduring so much pain, Dev not only healed but his face returned to his base-line “handsome!” And best yet, he got back the sparkle in his eyes.

It looked like half of Jeeyo’s face was gone. But look at him now!

Our rescue staff who caught Jeeyo had to keep a cool head. To lose him now would be his death for sure. It was simply astounding that he was still alive. And strong enough to stand! Strong enough to try to get away. Maggots had filled a facial wound and consumed an unbelievable amount of tissue. 

We did not know at all whether we had reached him in time to save his life. Indeed, when you see him thrive in the happy part of this video, you’re going to be amazed. We don’t like to use the word “miracle” when so much human effort has gone into the treatments, but even with all this effort, his complete recovery feels nothing short of miraculous. Meet Jeeyo today!

The magic word is “Try.” Make a donation today.

Thank you Bernie, for 4 years of non-stop loving help

When Bernie (UK) arrived at the gates in late 2019, she she was expecting to volunteer here for about a month. She’d closed her boutique shoe shop in London, rented out her house, and started a life of new adventure helping animals along the way.

And then came Covid. Travel became hugely problematic and Bernie decided to wait it out. Well, what the animals got in the deal turned into almost 4 years of non-stop loving help. Each day Bernie conducted nose to tail checkups for more than 100 dogs (including many disable) who live here permanently; she did daily care including cleaning eyes and ears; she became a massage artist, a dog whisperer, and regularly drenched herself in all kinds of weather to make sure dogs needing hydrotherapy received it. 

A few weeks ago Bernie left for Sri Lanka to continue her adventures, scouting out new animal help centers where she can once again throw herself into assisting in whatever way she’s needed. 

Saying goodbye was hard. Bernie has left a gap that only she can fill, and we look forward to whatever times ahead will bring her back to the family of Animal Aid, to which we feel she will forever belong.
