Safe House For Animals

The temperature is dropping, and for street dogs, winter is a fight for survival.

They face biting cold, frostbite, and struggle to find adequate shelter and food to generate body heat.

Three Ways You Can Be Their Lifeline:
Warmth: Provide old blankets, jute sacks, or build simple, raised shelters near your home/workplace.

Food: A simple, warm meal (like rice and chicken broth) can give them the energy they desperately need to fight the cold.

Report: If you see a dog in distress or severely injured, contact your local animal rescue organization immediately.

Every small act of kindness is a shield against the cold.

Forget the streets, these are the golden days! 🐾✨ Every wag, every lazy sunbath, and every full belly is proof of the love you give. Our Safe House isn't just a shelter—it's a joyful retirement home where they finally get to be dogs.

This is what happiness looks like. Help us keep the joy flowing. 👇

Allowing your dog to lick their wounds can cause an infection, worsen the injury, slow down healing, and create a warm, moist environment ideal for bacteria growth.

Here is something more to it,

To improve your dog's appetite, try adjusting their meal times. Serve food early in the morning and in the evening when it's cooler. To prevent acidity from long gaps between meals, give them a small snack in the afternoon.

Tiny little changes to make with rising temperatures.

Remember the big construction site accident in New Gurgaon in 2017?

Many dogs were hurt, but some kind people saved Jagga and his brother Bhagga. Sadly, Bhagga didn't make it, but brave Jagga was pulled through and now lives at the shelter.

Jagga loves meeting everyone and is a bit of a leader. Even after disagreements with other dogs, he's always friendly. Now, he's the official "doorman" at the shelter, greeting everyone with happy barks and wags.

Share Jagga's story with your friends and family.

Dog noses work best when damp because scent particles stick better to damp surfaces. Plus, wet noses have another advantage. They help keep a dog cool. Dogs dissipate some heat through their foot pads and by panting, but utilize the nasal passages as a cooling mechanism, too.

Spain stopped giving out a prize for bullfighting.

While Spain has moved towards rejecting animal abuse and promoting animal welfare,Jallikattu continues to be a contentious issue in India, with many arguing that it is an integral part of their cultural tradition.

The ongoing controversy surrounding Jallikattu underscores the need for a more nuanced understanding of cultural practices and their impact on animal welfare.

Yess!

A Cow Needs Gallons of Water to Make Just One Gallon of Milk

They guzzle a whopping 30-50 gallons of water every day to produce just a single gallon of milk. That's because milk itself is about 87% water! But just like us, individual needs can vary depending on their size, diet, and even the weather.

Here's to the importance of water for both cows and humans :)

Let's take care of this small bit on World Environment Day 🤎

Yum yum in tum tum!

This is Farukhnagar!

Do you know how Farukhnagar, the happy bull, came to live at Safehouse for Animals?

Named after the place where she was discovered, a small locality outside Gurgaon, on the way to Jhajjar district.

In 2017, Safe House For Animals' members visited Farukhnagar market and noticed a group of calves.

The next day, he found only one calf left, injured and alone. The calf had an injured front limb that was swollen. Despite the obvious need for help, no one in the market was willing to assist or even transport the calf.

He was transported in a private vehicle to the Safe House shelter. At the shelter, the calf's broken leg was carefully plastered. With regular care and treatment, the injury gradually healed. After 15 days, the calf could stand and walk again. The transformation was incredible!

Now, Farukhnagar is a fully grown bull and has been a happy resident of our shelter for over 5 years.

Support our mission to rescue and care for animals like Farukhnagar. Share Farukhnagar's story and help us raise awareness about the importance of animal rescue and welfare.

Together, we can make a difference!

Love,
