Our members treat and care for animals that are surrendered to our shelters or that we rescue, mostly dogs and cats. We provide emergency care, including surgical procedures, as well as shelter care and adoptions.
Caring for Animals
Working for Animals operates mobile units and veterinary clinics to treat animals that would otherwise suffer. Your generous donations help us to prove life-saving care at our shelters in Darjeeling and Kalimpong. Thank you!
The principal activity/objective of Working for Animals is to provide short term, direct care to animals that are lost, mistreated or without owners.
The association may provide such care by supporting the establishment and/or operation of veterinary clinics and mobile units to treat sick or injured animals, including the carrying out of surgical procedures.
Darjeeling Animal Shelter is a project of Darjeeling Goodwill Animal Shelter, a registered Indian charitable trust, founded in 1993.
Kalimpong Animal Shelter has conducted a successful Animal Birth Control programme, supported by the Municipality, since 1996.
