We believe all animals deserve our compassion and protection. We are working for the day when all animals' lives are respected for their inherent value, whether dogs, chickens, cows or fish.
Our planet is in crisis from over-consumption, and the use and abuse of animals contribute tremendously to the climate catastrophe and incalculable animal suffering.
Rescue is our strategy to immediately relieve suffering and encourage the protection of all animals lives by sharing their incredible stories of recovery and healing.
In 2002 our founding family established Udaipur's first and only shelter and hospital for ownerless animals. As word spread, a few rescue requests a week became more than 100 calls each day. Tens of thousands of animals have been rescued and saved, and the community's compassion has blossomed into action.
We combine on-the-ground, immediate relief to suffering animals with prevention to ensure long-term protection for animals. Today, in Badi village, Udaipur, on 3 leased acres, our staff of 150 is joined by volunteers from around the world to care for 700 ever-changing animals in our hospital and shelter.
For 25 years, Animal Aid has rescued and cared for Udaipur's sick and injured street animals. Every day, our ambulances respond to calls from people desperate to help an animal in need. Every year, our team treats thousands of animals suffering from injury, illness, neglect and abuse. But year on year, more animals need our help.
Our existing shelter operates on rented land with limited shelter and was never designed to support the scale of rescue work we do today. What began as a small rescue effort has grown into an organization of 150 staff members that rescues more than 15,000 animals every year.
To continue meeting the growing need for animal rescue and treatment, we need a purpose-built sanctuary that allows us to work more efficiently and care for more animals. Through years of sustained fundraising, and after more than a decade spent searching for land that could truly serve the animals — we secured 31 acres of land for Animal Aid's forever home: Unlimited Unleashed.
With your support, we'll begin building our new home in October 2026.
Unlimited Unleashed will bring emergency rescue, medical treatment, rehabilitation, sanctuary, education and training together in one integrated, world-class facility. Designed to improve outcomes for animals while helping transform how street animals are treated in India, our new campus will support the scale and complexity of the work we already do, enabling us to care for more animals and provide every one of them with even better care. It will include a hospital campus with standalone, temperature-controlled buildings for dogs, cats, puppies, cows, large animals and birds, plus a dedicated isolation hospital for dogs and puppies. Recovery areas will give animals on the mend space outside their kennels, with off-lead areas and walking paths for enrichment and bonding. Sanctuary spaces for permanent residents will include a cattery, aviary, large animal pasture, and dedicated areas for disabled, elderly and special needs dogs.
