Animal Aid

A herd of goats passing thru the Animal Aid area.
One of the roadside places that we eat lunch every day. usually spicy cooked vegetables and chapatis. By the time we are done my eyes are watering and my nose running. VERY spicy food. When I get home I am eating pizza for a week.
Pearly and Sanjeev...volunteers. They are also from Boston!
The store where we get cold drinks. Then we walk to the place that makes lunch. Samosa's are across the street. A separate place for everything.

Surej, perched on top of the water spigot.
The only cat at the clinic right now.
Administering fluids via butterfly catheter. They don't use permanent catheters here.
Some of the cows that live at the clinic.
This mama pig was hit by a car and has a broken hind leg. A few days after she came to Animal Aid she gave birth...
They have several resident Donkeys. They all have name tags hanging from their necks.
This poor cow is really sick. They are not allowed to euthanize cows in India. So, even if one is suffering miserably and nothing can be done for them, you cannot put them down.
Suraj and I. He flirts with me.
A field on the property. They grow this for the cows to eat. Once a week they flood the field and that's why it grows so nicely. Rajasthan is a desert state...everything is very hot and dry. Nothing grows on it's own.
Fergus. He is missing his nose and they are working on figuring out what's going on. He is not responding to treatment.

Treatment in "A" Kennel.
The dogs are allowed to roam around "A" Kennel if they are well behaved and get along. Most continue to hang out in their kennel even if the door is open. The concrete floor is cool, and the kennel is shady.

"A" Kennel. It can hold 40 dogs.
"A" Kennel. That huge pot is what the dogs meals gets made in twice a day. Lentils, milk, rice, and chapatis. More like soup.
