About Us

Wag-A-Bond

Welcome to Wag-A-Bond, an NGO driven by passion and compassion. For our founders, a love for street animals and the passion to give them a chance of healthy survival was the catalyst. We started feeding hungry animals when we saw them foraging in garbage dump-yards.

Street animals in India are subject to untold suffering due to the following reasons:
– Lack of food
– Lack of shelter
– Uncontrolled population
– Abuse, cruelty, torture, and accidents
– Increased human-animal conflict

Our team hopes to help as many street animals as we can, by feeding, sterilising, providing medical treatments and activism. Join us in this mission today!

Footnote: Article 51-A (g) which deals with Fundamental Duties of the citizens states: “It shall be the duty of every citizen of India to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers, and wildlife and to have compassion for living creatures.”

 

Our Foundation

Every life deserves dignity & honour, food & shelter, and above all LOVE. We aspire to bridge the gap between humans and animals by creating a world that is ALL FOR LOVE

 

Why Wag-A-Bond?

Our love for animals and their wellbeing led to us feeding, then other more involvement in the form of sterilisation of street animals and participation and volunteering in adoption camps. We received basic medical training and were then able to give better attention to suffering street animals.

Eventually, we realized we needed a disciplined structure to formalize all our activities of feeding, sterilisation, and providing medical assistance to our furry friends. Wag-A-Bond Charitable Trust was thus conceived in June 2017, and we haven’t looked back ever since!

Our Mission

 

My Mission Is To Rescue, My Dream Is One Day I Won’t Have To

 

While much is being spoken and written about animal welfare in society, not enough is being done, for various reasons. The first being insensitivity towards animals and lack of interest in doing anything beyond self-welfare. The breeding amongst homeless dogs and cats is rampantly growing and hence the primary objective of any volunteer working for the welfare of animals becomes sterilizing them, to curb the population. Once the population is in control, there is a lot of suffering for these poor souls in every season. Medical care facilities are very few as compared to the number of cases that are reported every hour. The new-borns don’t have shelter, are on the roads, and left to live their fate. We are all aware of the plight of our Desi Indie dogs and cats.

Much needs to be done to create safe spaces and opportunities for their right to a loving existence. There can be a harmony between man and animal and for us at Wag-A-Bond, the ideal world would be where “Every dog/cat has a home, and every home has a dog/cat”. We aspire to achieve just that, and more!

We are all different in our choices and likes-dislikes. And at Wag-A-Bond, we respect those differences. We understand that while we love animals, others may feel threatened or have allergic reactions towards them. Having said that, we would like to reiterate that we can all co-exist amicably in this ecosystem. For this, it’s important that one may not physically participate, but definitely contributes to help enhance the results of our initiatives. It’s an appeal to all to not DO anything, but allow transformations to happen, by supporting. Please remember, there is NO overnight solution to the street dog issue. It is simply not possible to wish all the dogs away.

 

With sterilization, the population becomes stable, non-breeding, and non-rabid and decreases over time. It also becomes largely non-aggressive. On the other hand, when dogs are removed or killed, new dogs keep entering an area and the population is continuously changing, unstable, aggressive, multiply at a high rate, and carry rabies. Which method makes more sense?
