Few things of life are fulfilled when we take care of a furry friend or dog. But unfortunately, we human beings are not always nice to them. According to the animal experts, the animals feel neglected, in pain and require a friendly bonding just like us. If you are a pet owner once, you have the idea of how they share a bond with you.
However, every dog is not lucky enough to find a home for safety and security. They have to struggle and survive in incredibly dangerous situations. When you find some of these dogs in a helpless condition, please take them to the nearest shelter.
It’s a fact that the shelters in Bangalore city are understaffed concerning traffic woes. So, they may reach you late even after you call for help. Without panicking, please try to make the animal comfortable and give some first aid before the ambulance arrives.
Below is the list of animal helplines that help poor animals overcome many obstacles.
