An animal-shelter cum hospital and research institute, {ASHARI, in short} is run by People for Animals’ Kolkata chapter. Run solely by donations, they also happen to be the largest distemper treatment shelter for street dogs in Kolkata. Apart from donating in money or in kind {medicines or medicinal equipment or even food grains}, one can even consider adopting an animal from the shelter {actively or passively — by contributing a small monthly donation to keep your chosen animal in comfortable circumstances in the shelter itself}.
If you’re looking to volunteer, day-to-day care of the shelter animals is something you can definitely work on. This includes helping paraveterinary workers take care of sick and injured animals, walking shelter dogs, feeding and changing water bowls etc. You can read more about their work on their website here. Contact them via e-mail here, message them on Facebook here or call them at 8335045433.
