Mumbai has many stray dogs on its streets, which are taken care of by locals. These dogs are adorable but may often be at the receiving end when they get into accidents with vehicles or are hurt by those who fear them. At such times, it may often become a task to treat them ourselves and that is when it is easier to seek help from city-based NGOs working for their welfare. This is especially important when they need immediate medical attention.
Every year, animal lovers around the world celebrate `International Dog Day` on August 26 to raise awareness about the need to adopt dogs, care for them, and help them in times of need. In India, stray dogs are a very common sight, but are unfortunately not welcome by all, and thus tend to hurt them as we have seen over the last few years. It is at such times that they need help. Keeping this in mind, Global Payments, a payments technology company has tied up with Awaaz – Voice of Stray Animals, one of the NGOs that people reach out to in Mumbai for stray dogs and animals. They have sponsored an animal-exclusive ambulance and veterinary service to aid them in helping stray animals that need treatment.
