SECRETARY The PAWS Team conducted the usual activities like camps, surveys, rescues & educational programs despite the regular fund crunch. We are actively looking out for fixed monthly donors who will sponsor some of our events, rescues & share our running costs. I request all PAWS supporters to come ahead with ideas to raise funds to carry on our activities for the welfare of animals. You may get in touch with us on pawsdombivli. Also let us know what you feel about Monthly E-NewsLetters? Thanking you Yours for Animals, Nilesh Bhanage ------------------------------- 2. COW CASE RECURS On the occasion of Eid we received calls from residents of Shiv-Temple Road that cows were loaded in trucks and being taken for slaughter. The truck registration was traced to Malegoan where a cattle fair was being organized the next day. the With police help the PAWS team got the cows rescued and sent to a gowshala. PAWS wrote a strong letter to Animal Welfare Board, Animal Husbandry Dept. & Charity Commissioner, SPCA’s and police station informing about this kind of illegal activity. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` 3. PAWS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: PAWS’s volunteers Sonali Bagde & Pallavi Pasarkar did an excellent job by organizing school awareness programs at Balvikas Mandir in central suburbs of Ambernath and Badlapur on 9th & 10th January and again on30 & 31st January They showed PETA’s ‘Compassionate Citizen’ CD to the students of junior classes & ‘Beauty Without Cruelty’ CD to Senior Class students. Both programs were very successful. ………………………………………………………………………… 4. VACCINATION CAMP FOR PONIES: PAWS’s Annual Horse and Pony Vaccination program took place on 14th January 2006 where all the Tonga owners came with their ponies & horses in Kalyan city. PAWS Volunteers Sonali, Kishore, Anuradha, Shiv-Prasad, Lekha, Kunal, Nilesh, Monali, Pallavi, Anahita & Raj worked hard with Dr. Datta to help as many animals. PAWS volunteers distributed work among themselves Some looked after giving treats to ponies of Chana & Jaggary while some were helping vets with vaccination of animals against Sirra & Tetanus. Some were busy gathering information on age, purchase details & paperwork while others gave bath to horses. PAWS distributed free Shampoo sachets to the Tonga Owners. Thereafter, a competition took place for best pony in which a white Pony named Champa won the Medal for THE BEST-GROOMED PONY. All animals were given water mixed with Glucose D. THANE SPCA sponsored the Vaccines & PAWS trustee Ms. Brinda Upadhyaya sponsored food for the camp. We thank them on behalf of the animals that received relief in this camp! If you want to sponsor any of our event you may call us on 9820161114 or send your donations to PAWS – A-14, Savitri Sadan, Dr. Mukharji Road, Dombivli (East) 421201, India. “””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””” 5.

TRAINING ON REPTILE IDENTIFICATION & REHABILITATION. PAWS feels that a successful NGO can function only through active volunteers who must be trained in animal rights, welfare issues & correct handling and caring for animals. Trained volunteers spread right knowledge to the common world. PAWS organizes regular training sessions for its volunteers on different issues like treatments of stray animals, wildlife rehabilitation and environmental issues etc. On 22nd January Paws invited Dr. Gowri Mallapur to train 17 volunteers including Vets, Thane SPCA Staff, PAWS Staff & Dahanu’s wildlife rescue group. She enlightened the volunteers on topics like ‘Snake Identification’ and ‘Simple Rescue Techniques & first aid to people on snake bites’ for an hour. PAWS is grateful to Shri Poonam Singhvi. for providing ‘Hariyali’ Office as the venue for this event. ------------------------------- 7. PRESS CONFERENCE ON BULLOCK CART RACES: A joint Press conference was organized at Poona by Ahmadnagar SPCA, BWC, PAWS & many NGO’s to highlight the cruelty to animals in sports. Dr.Ranjeet Konkar of BWC showed exclusive videos shots during such races. We thank Mr. Manoj Oswal for representing PAWS in this conferance. ………………………………………………………………………………………… 8. MONKEY MANIA: Thane SPCA animal hospital received a pair of monkeys for treatment which were rescued by Dahanu’s wildlife rescue group. The rumor that we released the monkeys at Borivli National Park at night illegally is totally false as our ambulance helped in translocating them to Mr. Nilimkumar Khaire’s rescue center in Poona. . Thane SPCA took all legal permissions & transit permits to transport the animals to Poona. PAWS made their Ambulance available for translocating those monkeys from Thane to Poona. PAWS team comprising Nilesh, Anuradha, Lekha, Monali, Prasad & Kishore accompanied the ambulance. We not only received all legal permissions but also got acknowledgment from the center for acceptance of monkeys. This is a brickbat on those who actually do not do any work but talk about others. Our charities will continue rescue & treat more monkeys in best possible ways. ………………………………………………………………………………… 9. PAWS ON CD. To raise funds & aware people about activities of trust PAWS created a small CD presentation about its activities & achievements. We thank Mr. Percy Ghaswala of Ghaswala Vision Foundation who took lots of efforts in scanning the photos, materials, news clippings, creating tables, making notes, flow charts to make a good presentation.. To obtain the CD please E-mail us on pawsdombivli ****************************************************** 10. DONATION IN KIND: We Thank Nicole from HongKong for donating a 3.2 Megapixal camera to PAWS for its rescue work. This camera is useful for us in capturing the status of captive elephants in India. Thanks Nicole & god bless you! ……………………………………………………………… 11. SOME NOTABLE FIELD CALLS: ## Bullock rescued- PAWS rescued a bullock hit by a vehicle and fallen in a gutter with the help of their ambulance along with help from the fire brigade and local residents. PAWS admitted the bullock to Bombay SPCA animal hospital but later it died due to multiple fractures. ## PAWS swung into action to save a beautiful Flamingo that had a damaged wing. This huge bird of four and a half feet long had a long red beak but it died despite our attempts to save it in the ambulance. As neither the fire brigade nor Kalyan Range Forest Officer was able to take charge of the dead bird, PAWS spent Rs.800/- worth diesel to take the bird for cremation. PAWS gave the bird to Bombay SPCA for cremation. Atleast it was not unattended after its death! Now we wish we could have our own shelter! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12. 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 , rehabilitate 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. You small contribution would make us difference!
