Dear All,
I started in 1998 for rescuing animals & felt that a strong organization will definitely make a
Difference in lives of strays as well as wildlife, so registered PAWS as society on 11.07.2001.
Today is 11.07.11 & we completed 10 years of our service in the field of Animal Welfare, Wildlife
Rescues & Environment Protection. The Journey was indeed a great experience for all of us!
Sharing some old photos of our work done in past decade! At beginning we never had an ambulance
or any facility nearby to treat animals. All the work from 1998 till August 2001 was on streets,
whenever we use to find cattle injured we use hire tempo/truck & use take them to Parel’s
Animal Hospital.
