Mangaluru, Apr 26: 'Saving one animal will not change the world, but surely for that one animal, the world will change forever' has been the motivation driving Animal Care Trust (ACT) its trustee, staff and volunteers ever since its inception to reach out to animals in distress.
While on one hand ACT’s staff and volunteers rescue and rehabilitate animals that are injured, sick, abandoned, on the other it organises adoption camps of puppies and kittens with an aim to provide forever homes for them. The highlight of adoption camps organised by ACT is that desi breeds of puppies and kittens are put up for adoption.
Adoption camps on April 27, 28
On April 27, a camp will be organised at ANIRVEDHA, Resource Centre for Psychological Wellbeing, behind Sulthan Gold, Kankanady Bypass Road, Mangaluru in association with ANIRVEDHA and Wag-ville, Bengaluru.
The same day a workshop on Animal Assisted Therapy will also be conducted. Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) includes animals in their intervention to bring about therapeutic change especially for children with special needs. AAT has shown improved overall emotional wellbeing, better stress coping, enhanced self-worth and socialization skills in special needs children and other clinical population.
The camp will be held between 9.30 am and 12.30 pm.
On April 28, over 40 puppies will be put up for adoption at Kolya.
The adoption camp on April 28 will be held at Shree Mookambika Industries, opposite Shree Mookambika Temple, Kolya, NH 66.
Over 40 puppies and 10 kittens will be put up for adoption at the camp which will be held between 10.00 am and 5.00 pm. Animal Care Trust is organising the camp in association with Rotary Club, Mangalore East, Rotary Samudaya Dala, Kolya, Someshwar and Yuvavahini (R), Kolya Division.
While no adoption fee is charged, ACT only collects a nominal registration fee of Rs 200 that helps in covering the basic medical expenses incurred. Potential adopters are requested to bring a valid photo ID for registration. After the adoption process is complete, ACT will keep in touch with the family for regular updates about vaccination and sterilization.
