Blacky, the fabulous dog up for adoption

Blacky is a beautiful black colored dog who lives in Thane.
He is a very gentle, playful and magnificent dog who should not really be on the streets. He looks like a Labrador cross, but we have no proof of that.
His life is alright now, but we strongly feel he deserves better than this.
He is 1.5 years old, vaccinated, neutered and healthy.
Please call us on 9324699829 to adopt him or mail us on petownersandanimallovers@gmail.com
He will love you with all his heart, we assure you.

PS- in case u decide to steal the pictures of Blacky, please make sure you give photography credits to Manaswini Shetye.

Driving for a cause

The Lavassa Women's drive from Mumbai to Lavassa takes place every year. We always thought that the focus of the drive was to raise awareness about breast cancer.
However, this year, we were approached by one of the participants who wanted to drive for the cause of animal welfare.
The Lavassa drive now allows the participants to drive for the cause they are most passionate about!
Bombay Veterinary College student, Sachi Shanbagh wanted to decorate her car for the cause of animal welfare.
She brought a Xylo to one of our buildings and for a few minutes we were wondering how we would be able to decorate such a huge car and make it all about animals.
Then came the idea..make it look like an animal.. Why not a dog!
So, after a few hours of work and a few small injuries , the Dog Car was ready to hit the road.
Take a look at the pictures below to get a better idea about how the whole thing worked out.
Thanks Sachi for driving for the cause of animals :)

Happy that she got a loving and wonderful home.

Bagheera the cat!

Bagheera's story is one of persistence and patience. 
He was found on the road with a sever maggot infested hand by Bhaskar Chauhan and Surendra Singh Mehra. The same day, treatment began with Dr. Hemant Thange. He was fostered for a while by Bhaskar and then by Shreehari Rabade. Once he got better, Bhaskar found a home for Bagheera now a.k.a. HITLER! Antonius Carvalho opened his heart and home to this gorgeous tom cat!
