Our History
My parents had always been inclined to feed stray animals, but our full-force care for them started with a tragic story involving our pet rabbit.
About 15 years ago, we brought home a rabbit & named her Tuktuk. We were in absolute love with her. One morning, the door was accidentally left open, and three stray dogs entered our home, chasing and scaring Tuktuk. She didn’t survive the trauma. We were shattered, especially my little brother and I, who were barely eight years old at the time. Pain, shock, and trauma built up. We were extremely upset with the dogs.
It was later that we realized everything happens for a reason. Before Tuktuk, we had never paid such close attention to stray dogs. With time, we accepted the fact that animals live as prey and predators—that’s how nature (Prakriti) has built them. It’s not their fault. How we react and respond to them decides our character and fruits to actions (Karma)
We realized that the dogs in our colony were living in pain, hunger, thirst, and lack of love and attention were a few of the many problems they faced unspokenly.
My parents started by feeding the dogs in our street. Gradually, we realized this pain is not limited to just dogs and extends to other animals on roads like cows, bulls, donkeys, pigs, birds, etc.
My parents, Mr. HK Sinha and Mrs. Dolly Sinha have been a constant source of compassion, empathy, care, and love for these animals. They have been feeding, treating, and adopting strays ever since. They taught us to try and alleviate their suffering. Since my brother and I grew up around stray animals, we understood their pain.
