Ananadchhaaya Update from Sushruta

First the good news: The shelter has moved to a place near off Sarjapur Road and slowly the furry friends of ours (slightly shy of 200 and all Indian dogs) are being fed twice and have proper shelter over their heads and have been vaccinated this year. The bad news: the fight for survival continues.
Another moajor need, a vet and dispensary in the shelter premise is the next big thing we would like to achieve. This is where I request you all to pitch in.

To start with besides an ongoing medicines and grooming products (combs, brushes, soaps, shampoos, anti flea, anti tick powder, etc.) , the below list is what we need to setup the clinic:
