Mangaluru, May 11: Animal welfare organisation like Animal Care Trust, Shakthinagar plays a significant role in encouraging people to adopt animals found abandoned, abused, living under dangerous conditions or injured. In this direction Animal Care Trust has been organising adoption camps for more than a decade. One such adoption camp will be held on Sunday May 12 at Pai Sales Suzuki, near Chilmbi Dwara, here from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm.

Adopting an animal is a responsibility and commitment one has to make, but at the same time adopting a pet also has its own benefits. A growing body of research suggests that owning and interacting with a pet can improve one's health. Besides providing unconditional love, studies show that these wagging, purring or hopping bundles of love can reduce one's stress levels, tame one's blood pressure, curb one's depression, reduce feelings of loneliness, keep one physically fit and even help one live longer and nothing can be better than adopting a homeless animal.

The adoption camp will feature over 40 puppies and 10 kittens.

People who wish to adopt will be required to get their valid photo ID proof for registration. 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.
