VOSD'S GROWTH WITH YOUR SUPPORT

VOSD SANCTUARY & HOSPITAL

The VOSD SANCTUARY™ is the World’s Largest No-Kill Dog Sanctuary with a World-Class Residential Hospital that has helped 8,000+ critically injured and abandoned dogs. VOSD has also administered over 250,000 treatments and has 900+ permanent resident dogs that live here for life.

Did you know we fly / drive / bring by train 200 rescued dogs from 30+ cities across India each year and a similar number from Bangalore. VOSD only takes dogs nobody else will take when they’re beaten, broken, mutilated, old or aggressive. If a dog has no home in India they have one at VOSD. And they have the best care in the world.

They come home to one of the first no-kill dog sanctuaries in India, arguably the largest in the world but definitely the finest. We’ve our own fully equipped 10,000+ sq feet hospital, surgeries and recovery area. 3 large ambulances and a pickup truck are dedicated for the dog’s needs. There are also 50+ individual 100-200 sq ft kennels, underground drainage, underground irrigation and underground electrical wiring over many acres. 3 swimming pools, a jet powered hydrotherapy pool and an (under construction) agility park for dogs is also part of VOSD.

CITY OF DOGS

Rescued dogs across India need more space so this campaign was targeted at helping us expand from 900+ to 1,400+ dogs. This video captured only a glimpse what we were doing, until your support propelled us to greater heights. We constructed 28 new enclosures over a 33,600 sq ft area with water, drainage, power lines all underground. We’d like to thank you for helping India’s dogs, by helping us expand. Every single donation and support made this remarkable journey possible!

‘CITY OF DOGS’ PROJECT UPDATES

JAN 2020:

FEB 2020:

This video shows how work had progressed by February 2020. 50% of the construction was completed, which equals 14 plots that were turned into beautiful homes for our dogs:

HOW WE EXPANDED VOSD

50% of the VOSD sanctuary area had non-standard construction with unplanned/ poor land use. As a result one part of the sanctuary only housed ~250 dogs. Changing the land use there thus lead us to easily bring this capacity to ~750+ dogs.

RECONSTRUCTION OVER 33,600 sq feet
> 28 plots, each 30 feet x 40 feet were laid out on either side
> A 10 feet wide stone path was laid, such that the outer perimeter of these 30×40 feet plots was the outside boundary of the 1.5 acre plot
> Each plot now has a cement and concrete ‘house’ measuring 10×15 feet with one door and 2 windows so that the dogs have a four-side open area and indoor area
> The layout factors in the 300 trees planted in this area; none of them were cut or pruned.

28 PLOTS WERE DEMARCATED EACH WITH:
> 1 room measuring 150 sq feet of flooring + 150 sq feet or roofing with 10’ high concrete brick walls, plastered and painted with washable distemper and with 2 windows and a door (total 4,200 sq feet of roofed area)
> Underground drainage for all plots
> Power connection for all rooms with light fittings
> A set of 2 gates for each plot
> 6 feet chain link fence on all sides but with 10 feet high cement wall on the external perimeter (~1,000 running feet)
> Streetlights on steel masts at 200 feet along the path with four streetlights in each cluster
> Motorable road between the plots (~1,000 feet)

INCREASED CAPACITY
The total capacity achieved in Phase 2 was ~750 dogs as opposed to ~250 dogs. The total capacity at VOSD Sanctuary is expected to become ~1,400 dogs, instead of ~900 dogs.
