Appeal for Funds ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1. FROM THE DESK OF HONY. GEN. SECRETARY: Dear All, Our dedicated volunteers Shiv Prasad and Kunal attended a rescue call in which a mother and baby donkey, injured on the roads were rescued. On their return our ambulance met with an accident but luckily no one was hurt. However, this has burdened us with an additional expense of Rs.12,000 which will definitely stall the progress of our work in the coming weeks. I request you for funds so that you can help us help the animals better! Regards, Nilesh Bhanage ………………………………………………………………………………………. 2. SOME NOTABLE FIELD CALLS: # PAWS volunteer Shiv-Prasad saw a horse with a deep wound on the neck pulling a cart.The cruel owner had tried to cover the wound with a cloth. PAWS team swung into action & stopped the cart. Our ‘Best Volunteer’ Shiv-Prasad called PAWS vet Dr. Datta for the treatment of the Horse. Sadly the wound is getting infected due to the heavy carrier on his neck. Vet Dr. Datta gave the treatment to the Horse & kept following up for a week for treatment. # PAWS received a call to help stray dog with maggot affected wounds from Rosalie, who stays in Roha in Konkan Region & runs a shelter for cows. Although this was over 140 Kms. from our place, the Paws team went to pick up the dog and admitted it to the THANE SPCA and when it had recovered fully, drove back to release it and also visited Rosalie’s cow shelter there. # PAWS office was alerted about a snake charmer near Khidkali Shiv-Temple by Kishore. The Paws team swung into action and rescued a live and healthy cobra from the Charmer. Later the Cobra was treated and released by volunteer Vishal in new Bombay. # PAWS volunteer Shiv-Prasad noticed that a 15 day old baby monkey was left tied to an auto rickshaw and was crying for help.It was rescued by Vishal, Prasad & Kunal & Vishal’s mother – Ms. Vijaya Kantharia (PAWS Member) gave food & care to the baby. Next day the baby was shifted to Bombay SPCA animal hospital for rehabilitation. The poor monkey refused to let go off Vishal’s mother assuming her to be his mum too! # PAWS Trustee Neeta Parwatey rescued 6 Rose Ring Parakeets from a bird seller in Panvel City on 21st September 2006. The bird’s wings were clipped so that they could not fly. They were also sick. Three parakeets died after rescue- the remaining three were later shifted to Thane SPCA for rehabilitation & treatment. ……………………………………………………………………… 3.
