End Rabies by 2030
Rabies is endemic in India. DAR has joined the UN Sustainable Development Goals to End Rabies by 2030.
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 people about rabies and compassion toward animals. The goal is to have the community as our partner in caring for the street animals of Dharamsala.
Street Animal Feeding Advocacy
Know your rights! We need local street animal feeders to help eliminate the human/street dog conflict and allow for easier catching and monitoring of animal health.
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 end the human/street dog conflict by creating a humane and sustainable environment for animals with direct benefits to the people of Dharamsala, India.
We provide several key programs to achieve our goals: spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, rescue and adoption, and community education for rabies safety and compassion.
