Animal Rescue Centre - South Goa

The Animal Rescue Centre in South Goa is a charitable organisation set up in 2005 to cope with the large number and ill condition of local stray animals, as well as the upsetting methods in which they were annually culled.

We rely on donations from tourists in the holiday season and local fundraising events. Our donations link will be active again soon.

What we do

Our work includes;

ABC (Animal Birth Control Programme)
Anti Rabies Vaccinations
Combination Injections to prevent Parvo, Distemper and other fatal diseases
Bathing and de-ticking and de-worming
Emergency care for animals in pain from many different illnesses and injuries.
Education and awareness raising among the local community on how to care for and treat their pets and the many strays
Monsoon Feeding – This is an essential part of our work as the beach restaurants pack up so does the food and without our programme many of the beach and stray dogs that are loved in the Tourist season would literally starve to death.

Please help us by making a donation or visiting us when you are in Goa.

Latest News

We are delighted to announce we are currently in the process of building a brand new purpose built shelter in the shady foothills just outside Canacona with its own well. This means we will finally have running water!

It has been a long labour intensive slog and as soon as enough donations are received we can build another wall/fence.

Our aim one day is to be able to afford an onsite vet and be in a position to extend our facilities. (The monthly salary for a vet here in India is approx £400 a month). If there is anyone out there that can afford this on a monthly basis it would be amazing to hear from you!
