Together, Let’s Care For These Injured Strays

It’s not every day that we hear a miracle rescue story. However, at Charlie’s or better known as CARE, there are thousands of animals who find their forever home. These animals were mostly abandoned, abused, injured, or just lost.

Ms Sudha Naryan is the Founder Trustee of CARE (Charlie’s Animal Rescue Care Center). She’s helped over 50,000 animals in the last 30 years. 

Among those 50,000 precious animals, Honeybun was one of the rescued strays. Honeybun was found on the streets with a deep gash on the side. She was an obese labrador, and it looked like she was walking for a very long time. She might have been abandoned by her caretakers during the pandemic outbreak. 

They brought her to CARE and took care of her. She had a weak blood profile, but slowly she fought and regained her health. Today, Honeybun lives a happy life at CARE. It is known as the best trauma care centre in Bangalore. They’ve been helping thousands of injured animals recover from life-threatening conditions. 

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the number of strays on the roads. Many dogs were abandoned and those who were already living on the streets had no idea what was going on. They noticed that their human friends who visited them were no longer around. With nobody to feed or take care of them, many were left to fend for themselves. 

The animals that are most often brought into CARE OPD are in terrible shape. They suffer from prolonged neglect and are battling between life and death. Many of these animals also suffer from extremely low platelet counts, low haemoglobin counts and other essential parameters. For a successful recovery, they also need proper nutrition and diet. 

The team at CARE work relentlessly to take care of these stray animals. They have a dedicated helpline, a professional veterinarian, and 3 ambulances. However, the need for help is now more than ever. The ambulances are also on their last leg. These ambulances have roamed hundreds and thousands of kilometres. Ever since the nationwide lockdown was announced, the team at CARE have scaled their rescues, they get calls from various parts of Bangalore and even the outskirts to rescue animals.

Sometimes, they aren’t able to reach a location on time. This can mean the difference between life and death for an animal in a desperate condition. With so many animals in need of help, they need your support and generosity. You can help them by donating towards critical life-supporting medicines and an ambulance. 

Taking care of these injured dogs around, and helping them regain their full health is no less than a miracle. 

Together, we can give them a better life. Together, we can give them hope.
