1. FROM THE DESK OF HONY. GEN. SECRETARY:

 

Dear Supporters,

 

Lets begin with good news! After a long and tedious struggle for almost a year,

the PAWS Thane charity received a New Maruti Omni Ambulance for the service of

Animals.

This is the third Ambulance under PAWS banner. This ambulance is meant

specially for the rescue & pick-up of small injured animals. PAWS is thankful to

both Ms. Fizzah Shah and Animal Welfare Board for their generous grant.

The other good News is that the Thane SPCA also received its first

Ambulance for distressed animals this month. However, this is a larger ambulance

and will be able to carry one large animal, apart from 10 small animals. The

Thane SPCA ambulance will run mostly for emergency care and transportation to

the Thane SPCA hospital. It will also concentrate more in areas which have no

animal ambulance service in the distant suburbs as Thane city already has 2

existing ambulances run by Karuna and Bahena Trust.

 

Now we have two Ambulances in the district of Thane for the welfare of

Stray injured & maggot-wounded animals.

 

I also thank Smt. Maneka Gandhi for her valuable support & contribution

in getting both the vehicles.

 

Hoping to serve our animal friends better with all your help and support,

 

Yours For Animals,

 

Nilesh Bhanage

PAWS team comprising of Sonali, Nilesh, Anuradha, Lekha, Darshana, Kunal

participated in the drive in which all the dogs in that are were

vaccinated and dewormed. This lasts for a year and the dogs are all healthy and

fine.

4.GREAT INDIAN MEAT OUT CAMPAIGN:

 

'Meat Out Mondays' is an international campaign that started in the US and has

spread across the world. This year in India more then 14 cities like Thane,

Banglaore, Madurai, New Delhi, Guntur,Chennai, Tirurunelveli, Ludhiana,

Dindigul, Namakkal, Palayankottai, Puddukottai, Salem, Theni & Mumbai

participated in a similar campaign.

 

PAWS Thane & Mumbai Team comprising Rasika, Sonali, Nilesh, Sunish &

Nisha distributed over a hundred and fifty pamphlets on turning vegetarian

outside Thane's McDonald outlet.This was a unique and successful event.

 

PAWS is thankful to Ms. Sujata Karanth of DIYA , a Banglore based organization

for initiating this campaign.

5. MORE ON AMBULANCE:

 

In August 2001 PAWS started working in Thane district with its first Animal

Ambulance donated by Ahmadnagar SPCA.

 

This vehicle rescued and served over three thousand big and small animals

including maggot wounded, accident cases diseased and hurt stray cattle and

birds.

 

For over half a decade, Bombay SPCA, IDA, Shri Mumbai Pinjrapole & Thane SPCA

regularly admitted and treated all cases.

 

As the vehicle became old and out of use our work began to suffer greatly and

the cost of transportation began to rise. We bought a new ambulance as the

Animal Welfare Board has sanctioned the grant for a new vehicle.

 

This Maruti Omni Ambulance will now cater small animals & Old ambulance

will cater to cattle requirements.

 

PAWS thanks all those who came forward to help us in getting this

Valuable asset to the orgnisation. Once again many many thanks!

6. APPEAL FOR FUNDS:

 

HELP US HELP THE NEEDY!

 

We at PAWS are committed to help our four legged , furred, feathered

and scaled friends but for this we are totally dependent on financial help from

donors and generous well wishers. Helping distressed people is indeed a service

to Humanity but serving dumb and helpless creatures is service to GOD. While

there are several others who destroy them, we at PAWS conserve, ehabilitate and

serve animals as best as funds permit . We need money to run our ambulance, pay

salaries and buy food and medicine. We therefore appeal to you to

kindly help us help the needy.

 

Your small contribution would make a big difference!
