People for Animals Mysore is a non profit animal welfare organization formed under the nationwide initiative of Mrs Maneka Gandhi.
People For Animals, Mysore is a no-kill animal shelter where sick, injured and abandoned animals are taken care of. Since its inception in 2010 in Mysore, thousands of animals have been successfully treated, sterilized and released. We take in dogs, cats, monkeys, horses, cows, donkeys and many other animals.
Apart from treating animals, we also try to find a good home for all adoptable animals. A stringent process is followed before handing the animal over to the adoptee, including doing a background check on potential adoptees, collecting their IDs, and doing surprise visits to check on the welfare of the animal. The animals are vaccinated, dewormed and sterilised before being put up for adoption.
People for Animals also does free sterilization for the street dogs of Mysore. We do approximately 5000 sterilizations every year.
We have an outpatient clinic where we attend to cases that do not require hospitalisation. Few of the services offered are: Complete health checkup, X ray facility, UltraSound Facility, Surgical Care, Gynaecological Care, Dermatology, Diagnostic Laboratory Testing, Vaccination and Ambulance Services at subsidised rates. However we treat Indie animals for free no matter the situation.
People for Animals depends on Public Donations in order to provide all these services. We conduct free health camps for different animals. Recently our team was in Srirangapatna where horses were vaccinated, dewormed and a general health checkup was done. In addition, mineral mixture packets were also distributed. Due to the covid situation, the horse owners didn’t make enough money to get the horses treated. That’s when we stepped in and offered our services.
We have attended to emergency cases in places such as H.D.Kote, Mandya, and other villages where we performed emergency surgeries in our ambulance to save lives. We have dealt with animal abuse cases such as neglect and abandonment, and to wildlife conflict cases such as mauling of cows. These have been challenging at times, but the satisfaction of saving an animal is immeasurable.
