 2.        SOME NOTABLE FIELD CALLS:

# This Month the PAWS Ambulance rescued over 17 Dogs  with maggot-wounds, injuries and   accident victims. We also got 32 dogs sterilized through KDMC & IDA centers. These dogs are being cared and fed by our volunteers Prasad Phadke, Lakha Lodaya, Sherlyn Menon, Mira Desai, and Ram Bhatle & Trustee Anjali Ekbote.

When  PAWS  received a call from Jitu Bhai of Karuna that a pair of Japanese Turkeys had been rescued from a housing society where they were tied on a short leash, PAWS volunteers Kunal Chheda and  founder Nilesh went with Karuna staff  to Ramnagar police station, from where they were  sent to Thane SPCA by PAWS volunteers Prasad, Kunal, Nilesh & Kishor. They are fit and recovering here.

# PAWS Office received a call from a Journalist about some stray dogs being burnt alive in Bhiwandi Dog Pound. PAWS office immediately contacted Advocate Kishore Jain who   , inspected the kennels & sealed them. A  police complain was lodged  against the Sterilization contractor. PAWS Office followed the case with Nijampur Police Station & also wrote a strong letter to the Superintendent of police to convert the  police complaint into an FIR.

Apart from the  above, PAWS Ambulances have been busy  helping  injured stray animals every day. In year 2006-07 over 1200 stray injured animals were picked-up from the streets by PAWS. Our fuel cost goes more then 20,000 per month.
