Our Work
Every day is different. We never know what will happen, what will come into the hospital that day, what will need to be rescued or what operations will need to be performed. Here is a little bit about our daily routine.**Our Rescue Vehicle**Our vehicle driver is Rajesh and the main animal assistants on rescue duty are Ramesh and Bunty who have great animal handling and catching skills.We can get a phone call anytime telling us about an ill or injured animal that needs rescuing. This means the rescue vehicle is generally out all day, everyday, collecting animals, mostly dogs and cows. They arrive back at the shelter before lunch with anything rescued and again before closing between 5 and 6pm. They can bring back anything from 1 - 8 animals a day.Their other job is also to release fully recovered animals back into the area they were collected from.
**Rescuing an injured donkey****Daily Treatments**On site there can be up to 120 animals. These include dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, cows, donkeys, monkeys and calves. All of these are fed, watered, medicated and cared for each day by the dedicated staff at TOLFA and any volunteers that are there to lend a hand.We treat every animal daily and record any improvements or problems. This means we can keep on top of what treatment is working and what isn’t enabling us to change medications and treatments as necessary - every animal is different. We aim to do complete all treatments in the morning, but with over 100 animals to do it can take a few hours! When an animal is fully recovered they are released back into the area they were collected from (detailed notes are kept and the staff are very good at remembering who was from where).All dogs and cats are neutered and vaccinated against Rabies before being released. This helps us reduce the ever growing population and tries to eradicate the fatal rabies disease.
