Every Paw Deserves Safety - Help Parth Build Their Shelter

It started with one puppy.

One morning in Sirsa, we found her dragging herself across the road. Both hind legs are crushed, likely from a vehicle. She was maybe six weeks old. No one had stopped. No shelter would take her.

We did.

For six weeks, our team fed her by hand, cleaned her wounds daily, and watched her slowly learn to move again on three legs. We named her Pari because even broken, she carried herself like a princess. Today, Pari runs. Today, she is safe, healthy, and loved.

But Pari was lucky. Most aren't.

Who We Are

My name is Parth Garg, and I founded the OK Stray Animals Foundation in Sirsa, Haryana, because I couldn't walk past anymore.

What began as one person feeding a few strays has grown into a dedicated team working every single day, rain, summer heat, or winter cold, to make sure the animals on Sirsa's streets are not invisible.

Here is what we do, every day, without fail:

• Feed 50–60 stray dogs across the city, every morning
• Provide emergency first aid to injured and accident-hit animals
• Rescue strays in critical condition and bring them to our care
• Currently shelter and care for 15 dogs at our facility

We do this with minimal resources, borrowed space, and a team that shows up not because they are paid well — but because they believe these lives matter.

The Problem We Are Up Against

Our current shelter was never built to be a shelter.

It is a temporary, makeshift arrangement; too small, structurally weak, and completely unequipped for the kind of care injured animals actually need. When a dog comes in with broken limbs or post-surgery wounds, we have no proper recovery space. When we need to isolate a sick animal to prevent infection, we have no separate ward. When volunteers need to store food and medicine safely, there is no room for that either.

Every single day, we manage, but managing is not the same as doing it right.

And the demand keeps growing. The number of strays on Sirsa's streets is not shrinking. Accidents happen. Litters are abandoned. Animals come to us with wounds that have been left untreated for weeks. We cannot turn them away. But we also cannot continue to treat critical cases in a space that was never designed for it.

What we need – what these animals need – is a real shelter.

What This Campaign Will Build

We have a plan. We have the land. We have the team. What we need is the funding to make it real.

The shelter we are building will be a 60×96 ft permanent facility that will allow us to:

• Provide proper emergency medical care for accident-hit and critically injured dogs
• Run vaccination and sterilisation programmes to reduce long-term stray population and suffering
• Give permanent sanctuary to abandoned and unadoptable dogs who have nowhere else to go
• Create a dedicated OPD room, storage, and staff space so our team can work with dignity and efficiency

A Genuine Ask

We are not a large NGO. We do not have corporate sponsors or government grants. We are a small team in a small city, doing what we can with what we have.

If Pari's story stayed with you, if you have ever passed a stray on the street and felt something, this is where that feeling can go.

You do not need to give a lot. Even ₹500 from enough people builds this. Every contribution is documented, every rupee accounted for, and updates will be shared as construction progresses.

Donate now because they cannot ask for help themselves.
