One of the more common sights in India is that of a bullock trudging along in the heat, straining under a heavy yoke to pull an overloaded, poorly balanced cart. These gentle animals often suffer from dehydration, untreated sores, and muscle strain, and sometimes they are subjected to frequent beatings. Animal Rahat was founded in 2003 to provide these animals with relief. This lifesaving program now offers services throughout three districts in Maharashtra, one of the largest states in India. Animal Rahat is run by a dedicated staff that includes veterinarians, veterinary assistants, animal caretakers, and a full-time community educator. All of Animal Rahat’s veterinarians are on call for emergencies and advice around the clock, every day of the year. Animal Rahat serving more regions, helping more animals!

Animal Rahat has improved the lives of many wonderful animals in recent months, including this beautiful 6-month-old donkey colt.

Thanks to the support of generous Animal Rahat donors, there is hope for the first time ever for elephants like Sunder. Animal Rahat works extensively in the sugar-mill district of Sangli, India where staff members provide free aid to bullocks like these. The Animal Rahat team's critical attention to wildlife cases can mean the difference between life and death for animals like this young hyena who had fallen down a deep well. Animal Rahat's outreach efforts help to educate communities about cruelty prevention and the use of painful devices on working animals. An Animal Rahat staffer feeds an exhausted pony in Chinchali.
