CHARLIE'S ANIMAL RESCUE CENTRE – CARE

THE VOICE OF STREET ANIMALS IN BENGALURU

- Sudha Narayanan

Charlie’s Animal Rescue Centre – CARE, established in January 2013, is a haven for stray animals in Bangalore. The inspiration behind the trust is 15-year-old Charlie - a differently abled three-legged Indian Dog, who was an established figure in the field of Canine Therapy since 2005. Charlie passed away in March 2017 but has left behind a rich legacy that the CARE shelter aims to live up to through rescue and rehabilitation.

The CARE Shelter is home to animals of all kinds including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs, ducks and calves. These animals are permanent residents of CARE due to their varying needs and special conditions such as blindness, physical or mental disabilities, paraplegia, serious ailments, and advanced age. They require constant care, medical attention and love. These animals will reside at CARE for the remainder of their lives.

The rescue facility is headed by the Founder Trustee Ms. Sudha Narayanan, who comes with over two decades of immense expertise and prowess in the fields of domestic as well as wild animal welfare. Pure compassion for helpless animals is the key belief that strings together the core team of CARE, which comprises of builders, engineers, leading veterinarians, artists, retired defence personnel, marketers and dentists.

CORE ACTIVITIES OF CARE

Rescue

CARE is equipped with 2 ambulances which assist the NGO in picking up animals in distress off the streets and bringing them to the Rescue Centre for immediate medical attention.

CARE also accepts individual rescue cases of ill, injured and abandoned animals which are brought directly to the shelter, and admits them for further treatment.

Rehabilitation
