The Reality of India’s Stray Animal Crisis

A BETTER LIFE FOR INDIA’S STRAY ANIMALS

SAFI is dedicated to improving the lives of stray animals across India. We are shelter and foster focussed, working to build a strong, compassionate animal welfare network in Hyderabad, India.

79.9 MILLION ANIMALS AT RISK

In India, street dogs are often misunderstood as dangerous animals, when most are simply struggling to survive without food, medical care, or shelter. The lack of sterilization and vaccination programs has led to a growing stray population, contributing to dog bites and the spread of rabies. Humane solutions like sterilization, vaccination, and education are essential to protect both animals and communities.

HOUSING, CARE, & MORE FOR INDIA’S MOST VULNERABLE

Since 2020, we’ve helped build up India’s animal welfare infrastructure, providing medical care, food, forever home matching, education, and much more. Your tax-deductible donation helps us fight for stray animals in India.

HOUSING, CARE, & MORE FOR INDIA’S MOST VULNERABLE

SAFI responds with a comprehensive approach to animal welfare — rescuing animals in crisis, providing shelter and lifelong sanctuary, investigating and preventing cruelty, reducing stray populations through spay and neuter programs, protecting communities through rabies vaccinations, and educating the public about humane care.
