VOSD works with dog rescuers and NGOs throughout India for the betterment of lives of stray dogs. Earlier, on a case by case basis we have engaged and helped different agencies including donating 15 laptops and computers with CUPA Bangalore, Sarvodaya Bangalore and Friendicoes as beneficiaries, made fundraisers that made critical infrastructure possible for Maruthi Shelter in Bangalore and St Bernardo in Gurgaon among many others.
