We have involved in a lot of rescues over the past decade and have saved the lives of so many animals even in just a fraction of a second.

We recently rescued a dog from Vyasarpadi who was about to be killed by the residents who didn't want the dog to litter. Fortunately, four kind-hearted families informed us of the cruelty and we could save the dog in time. The residents were also severely warned about the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. The humane way to reduce population is Animal Birth Control, which is one of our primary areas of work.

We have often rescued cats that are kept captive by gypsies. With the support of the local police, we have managed to seize the nets and guns they use for hunting. The rescued cats were given treatment and are allowed to roam freely in our shelters.

We have also rescued a few pups from a sewage pit near Tambaram upon a call from a tea shop owner. The puppies were given first aid and they’ve regained health and have since been adopted by our patrons.

Check out our mascots for more rescue stories.

Chocolate Boy Ramu

When Ramu, a sweet baby monkey was rescued by us after he fell off a tree, he was in bad shape with no hope of survival. He was treated at our hospital and though we could save his life, the little one lost his eyesight. Ramu was under treatment in our shelter for a few months and was the heartthrob of everyone at AWPT & for the visitors. Ramu was recently taken by the Wildlife Board of India for advanced treatment and we keep hearing from them that Ramu is enjoying the company of his own kind!

Freedom

When we rescued this gorgeous bird, she had severe wounds all over her body and had all but lost her wings after an attack from crows that were pecking her continuously when a kind gentleman called us for the rescue. She surprised us all with her rapid recovery and remains at our shelter where she is undergoing further treatment. We hope Freedom finds her way to the skies real soon and that people will remember that birds deserve to be free in their natural habitat.

Tripod

Our three-legged hero has an incredible story to tell. He lost his leg in an accident when he was a puppy. Luckily for him, a physically challenged gentleman who runs a telephone booth in Arumbakkam telephoned us for a rescue. This was two years ago, and today Tripod is a healthy, active dog who is the most popular dog in our shelter. AWPT hopes that Tripod’s miraculous rescue inspires more people to come forward to help an animal that's suffered a road accident, and also wishes that callous hit-and-run accidents like this don’t happen again.

Black Pearl

When we first saw this gorgeous black kitten with a velvet coat, he was limping and toppling over, barely able to walk. He didn’t have any external wounds and this was baffling at first. Our doctor then diagnosed him with a weak nervous system. We got Black Pearl started on Ayurvedic treatment that included a daily oil massage. By sheer will power, he began to heal and has now improved considerably. We are still trying to make him turn to his right since he can't seem to manage it just yet. Black Pearl’s recovery took a lot of patience both from him and from his rescuers and caregivers and his recovery is proof that these difficult journeys are always immensely rewarding.

Icy

Icy was brought to us by his frantic owners who reported that he fell from their first floor apartment
and fractured his leg. They were unsure if anything could be done to save his leg, but after
successful treatment, he recovered soon and he is back home with his family that loves him.
