Dedicated to animal welfare and rescue in Vadgaon Budruk, Pune since 2016
Paws of Hope was founded in 2016 in the vibrant community of Vadgaon Budruk, Pune, with a singular mission — to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in distress. What began as a small group of compassionate volunteers has grown into a full-fledged animal welfare organization serving the greater Pune region. Our team of veterinarians, animal behaviorists, and dedicated volunteers works tirelessly to ensure that no animal in need is ever turned away.
Over the years, we have rescued thousands of street animals, provided life-saving medical treatment, and found loving forever homes for countless dogs, cats, and other animals. Our sterilization and vaccination programs have helped control the stray population humanely while reducing the spread of diseases. We believe that every animal — regardless of breed, background, or condition — deserves dignity, care, and a chance to thrive.
Beyond rescue operations, Paws of Hope is deeply committed to community education and awareness. We regularly conduct workshops in schools, residential societies, and public spaces across Vadgaon Budruk and Pune, teaching people about responsible pet ownership, humane treatment of street animals, and the importance of adoption over purchasing. Our community outreach programs have inspired a new generation of animal lovers and advocates in the region.
Our state-of-the-art shelter facility in Vadgaon Budruk provides a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for rescued animals. Equipped with modern medical facilities, spacious kennels, and dedicated quarantine zones, our shelter is designed to promote healing and comfort. We maintain rigorous hygiene standards and provide nutritious food, enrichment activities, and individualized care plans for every animal under our roof.
As we look to the future, Paws of Hope remains committed to expanding our services and reaching more animals in need. From launching mobile veterinary clinics to establishing a 24/7 rescue hotline, we are constantly innovating to serve our community better. We invite you to join us — whether through volunteering, adoption, donation, or simply spreading the word — to create a world where every animal is treated with kindness and compassion.
