Animal Birth Control/Anti-Rabies
DAR has implemented a humane and effective program for creating a healthy sustained population of stray dogs which directly impacts community health.
Mobile Clinic
This program provides aid for animals who need non critical care. Animals are treated in the community they live. Decreasing their stress and involving the people who live nearby.
Street Animal Rescue
For animals in critical condition, they are treated at our clinic and heal at our recovery center. Car accidents, wire traps, and skin diseases are the main issues we see daily.
Humane Education
We visit schools and villages to educate them about rabies and compassion towards animals. The goal is to have the community as our partner in caring for the street animals of Dharamsala.
We welcome local and international adoptions
Local Adoption
Abandoned pets and stray dogs do not ask for much. All they need is another chance. DAR pets come vaccinated, neutered and ready to love FOR FREE. Why would you go anywhere else? Adopt today, gain a beautiful soul forever.
International Adoption
Abused or neglected on Indian streets, Desi dogs are finding loving homes in the West! These dogs are known to have a calm and gentle demeanor around them. They bond strongly with their people and make an excellent family pet that is very loving, loyal and intelligent.
Our mission is to seek a humane and sustainable environment for animals with direct benefits to the people of Himachal Pradesh, India.

Meet Suraj
Hi friends! My name is Suraj and I never bark up the wrong tree. Never. I play an important role here at the Dharamsala Animal Rescue Centre. As a very “handsome” volunteer at DAR, I work as their Mascot, Reviewer, and Advice Columnist. My job is to make people aware of the plight of the street dogs and animals of Dharamsala.
