As you may be well aware, India is a densely populated country. Adequate care facilities are not always available in many parts of this vast country. This situation is conspicuously true in relation to all domesticated animals – dogs, cats, horses and even the cows.

Rather than just watch this situation helplessly, we at SKP Animal Shelter, want to do whatever little we can for the welfare of the animals in need. We, with the help of other caring humans, aim to provide basic care, food, water, medicine and a safe house for the unloved and abandoned animals. Currently we have more than 100 animals under our care. Vast majority of them are puppies and kittens, which were found on the streets abandoned mercilessly!

For every abandoned animal we provide care, there may be 10 more on the street needing urgent help. We are located in Areangadi, Honnavar in India and we are the only all-animal care facility in the North Kanara district in India (approximately 10,000 sq km). Currently we do not have enough resources to provide care for every abandoned animal we see.

We do not get any government or corporation support and rely solely on the support of private individuals.

Every $, cent, rupee donated to us goes to actual animal welfare work and we operate with zero admin and overheads cost. Admin and other logistical work expenses are covered by the volunteers involved in the running of the animal shelter.

Please visit us, write to us, contact us, share your thoughts with us, and if possible, please donate to this much needed cause. No amount is too small in helping these animals which are otherwise destined to a life of suffering, misery and an agonising death!

No appointments or prior calls are necessary if you wish to visit our shelter in person.
