Treated, Then Fed Back to Health
Every day, Animal Care's team brings in street animals that have been hit by vehicles, attacked or left too sick to fend for themselves. Medicine and surgery treat them. What lets them heal is nutritious food, every single day, for as long as recovery takes.
Recovery
Healing Needs Food
A body mending from a fracture, wound or surgery needs regular, nutritious meals, often for weeks.
Helpless
Too Hurt to Find a Meal
An injured dog cannot scavenge or compete for scraps. Without a meal brought to it, it only grows weaker.
Every Day
Hundreds of Bowls to Fill
More than 365 animals are in Animal Care's long-term care, and every one of them needs feeding, every day.
By Hand
Some Can't Eat Alone
After surgery, or in a recovery cone, many animals need a caregiver beside them at every meal.
Our Theory of Change
A Full Bowl. A Faster Recovery.
Treatment saves a life. Food, every day, gives it back its strength.
When we rescue
Sick and Injured Animals
Brought to the shelter after accidents, attacks or illness, often weak and underfed.
And feed them
Fresh Meals, Every Day
Cooked in the shelter kitchen, with a recovery diet and supplements where the vet prescribes them.
And sit with
Those Who Can't Eat Alone
Caregivers hand-feed animals after surgery or in a recovery cone, so no meal is missed.
Then they
Heal and Go Home
Back to their own territory, into an adoptive home, or safe at the shelter for life.
How we know it's working: animals who walk out strong. Ladali, Dodo and Babli, whose stories are on Animal Care's website, all recovered on treatment and steady, nutritious meals at the shelter.
How This Cause Works
Cook. Feed. Heal.
Food and care at the Animal Care Shelter, every day of the year.
Fresh From the Shelter Kitchen
Meals for the shelter's animals are cooked fresh every day in Animal Care's own kitchen.
A Diet for Recovery
Animals healing from wounds or surgery get nutritious meals and, where the vet prescribes, supplements, with a caregiver beside them.
Every Animal, Every Day
From dogs in for a few weeks to those who will live at the shelter for life, no bowl is left empty.

Good to know: vetting is not a financial audit, and we don't examine the NGO's accounts. It confirms the organisation is real, legally compliant, and run by people we have met.
Meet the Founder
“When we bring in a dog that has been hit by a car, the surgery is only the beginning. What gets it back on its feet is weeks of nutritious food, given every single day, sometimes by hand. Bowls of Hope keeps those bowls full, so that every animal we treat has the strength to heal.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Clarity on where your gift goes, how the programme works, and how your circle can champion it.
What does "vetted by The Giving Circle" mean?
Our own team checked Animal Care's registration and tax documents, visited its office, and interviewed the people who run it. We see the work on the ground wherever we can, and Animal Care has committed in writing to share updates. Vetting is not a financial audit; we do not examine the NGO's accounts.
Will I get an 80G receipt?
Yes. Animal Care holds a valid 80G certificate, and the receipt comes directly from Animal Care to the email address you give when you donate. 80G is a deduction under the old tax regime; your tax adviser can confirm what applies to you.
Where does my donation go?
Straight to the NGO. Donations go directly to the partner NGO through the NGO's own payment gateway and into the NGO's own bank account. The Giving Circle does not receive, hold, or process donation funds at any stage.
What exactly does ₹1,200 pay for?
Care and food support for recovering animals at the Animal Care Shelter: nutritious meals (₹750), recovery supplements (₹150), hand-feeding by a caregiver (₹125), feeding bowls and hygiene (₹75), cooking fuel and storage (₹50), and logistics (₹50). You can give once or every month, and a monthly gift can be cancelled at any time.
Which animals does it feed?
Street animals in Animal Care's shelter care: dogs and cats recovering from accidents, attacks, surgery or illness, and those who cannot go back to the street and live at the shelter for life.
What about the water bowls?
Bowls of Hope began with water. Every summer, when the heat is at its worst, Animal Care also places water bowls for street animals across Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida, with volunteers to refill them daily. More than 1,002 have been placed so far.
Can I raise funds for Bowls of Hope with my circle?
Yes. Become a Cause Champion: tell us how much you would like to raise, and we set up your fundraising page and materials to share on WhatsApp, Instagram or anywhere you like. It costs nothing, and someone from our team stays with you through it.
