Creating a veterinary clinic for all animals

Our first step in this program is to create a fully equipped veterinary clinic on our campus dedicated to all animals ❤️. Our team will include a full time veterinary doctor and veterinary assistant.

As the project grows, we will expand our team and our facilities, one step at a time.

The clinic will provide services to reduce the suffering of all animals.

Protecting Dogs

There has been a significant increase in the stray dog population in and around our campus in Vellore, South India.

The purpose of this program is: alleviate suffering of the street dogs, improve the environment and make the area safe for the public.

Public Health: For the safety of those coming in to contact with dogs is at significant risk. Dog bites have been reported. We wish to provide rabies vaccinations for all dogs.

Environment: Medicinal plants and other delicate plants being grown in our Siddha Medicinal Forest are at risk from the ever-increasing dog population. We wish to create a peaceful environment for all.

Animal Welfare: Street dogs are suffering unnecessarily. We wish to lead by example, ensuring a reduction of dogs through birth control and a reduction of suffering through feeding and providing water for the dogs.

Wildlife Preservation: There is a risk of street dogs harming other animals. We can assume that the dogs are responsible for the dramatic reduction in the number of birds in the Siddha Medicinal Forest. We wish to create better conditions for both street dogs (so they are fed) and wild animals.

Caring for Cows

Cows, known as Gho Matha (Mother Cow) give to humanity unconditionally - this is one of the many reasons the cow is considered sacred in India.

This program supports the feeding, caring of cows as well as the Gho Samrakshana Program which saves cows from slaughterhouses and gives them the opportunity to live out the rest of their lives in peace.

Protecting Birds - Bird Sanctuary

The Siddha Medicinal Forest surrounding the Sri Narayani Holistic Clinic is a bird sanctuary. Since we planted the first trees in 2007 in our 17 acre forest, we have spotted 20 species of birds and over 20 species of butterflies. This fills our hearts with joy. We want to continue to make this a safe place for wildlife.

Protecting Bees & Butterflies

Since we began our Miyawaki Forest 2 years ago, our butterfly species has increased to 20 species of butterflies! And we plan to attract more every year by introducing plants they love!

Our indigenous bee program consists of bee hives on our campus as well as a weekly education program.

Did you know that, along with bees, butterflies and dragonflies are wonderful pollinators?

Protecting Cats

The cat population is significantly smaller to the dog population in this area, and are included in our Animal Protection Program. ❤️
