The view that Serena, one of our Trustees, saw on the way to the shelter this morning!

India is a wonderful place!

Made possible by a generous grant from the Betty and Bernard Davidson Charitable Trust…….our new quarantine block.

Our new quarantine kennels
At TOLFA we have many dogs coming to us that are suffering from a disease that is contagious such as distemper virus and canine infectious hepatitis. Before all these dogs would have to be housed [...]

There have been lots of changes on the Board of Trustees in the UK.
We now have a new Managing Trustee, Kym Barratt. Kym first found TOLFA whilst travelling in India in 2006 and ended up volunteering for 6 months at the hospital. After returning to the UK she joined the Board as Volunteer Co-ordinator, followed [...]

I went back to TOLFA for the first time in 2 years in October 2011 and it looks amazing. It has changed so much in 2 years but it is unrecognisable from when I worked there in 2006-2007. In those days there were only 40 kennels, 2 operating theatres, the small large animal shelter, and [...]

In the hot and dusty climate infections are prevalent and donations of medicines reduces our costs considerably. This means we can concentrate on paying for other items [...]

Long term volunteer Michelle Hayes talks about her experience about TOLFA.
