Sita A Heartwarming Tale

Sita, a three-month-old puppy, embarked on a remarkable journey from the industrial outskirts of Gurugram to the compassionate embrace of Angaja Foundation. This report chronicles her rescue, initial care, and integration into a nurturing shelter environment alongside fellow canines. Discovered near the bustling industrial hub of Udyog Vihar Phase-1, Sita was alone and vulnerable. Concerns swirled about her well-being, as she appeared to be the sole inhabitant of the area. Immediate action was taken to ensure her survival, with Sita receiving nourishing milk upon discovery and a comforting meal of milk and roti in the evening. To safeguard her from potential threats, arrangements were made for Sita to spend the night under the vigilant watch of a guard. On the pivotal day of January 21, 2024, Sita took her next step towards a brighter future as she was transported to the Angaja Foundation animal shelter. Here, amidst a welcoming atmosphere, she was introduced to a community of dogs, marking the beginning of her journey towards socialization and a sense of belonging. Since her arrival at the shelter, Sita has flourished in the company of her canine companions. Sita's journey symbolizes hope, resilience, and the transformative power of compassion. From the uncertainty of the industrial outskirts to the warmth of the Angaja Foundation shelter, she has been embraced by care and love. Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that compassionate intervention can have on the lives of animals. As Sita continues to thrive in her newfound home, her journey stands as a beacon of inspiration for all those dedicated to the welfare of our furry companions.

Oscar's Journey to Recovery

Oscar, a dog, has faced numerous challenges throughout his life. When he was first adopted, he was abandoned on the streets by his owner. Fortunately, a kind-hearted woman Charu rescued him and ensured he received proper medical treatment. At the time of his rescue, Oscar was suffering from a fever and other minor ailments, all of which were promptly treated by the compassionate woman. After being rescued, Oscar underwent training and rehabilitation under the care of the woman. Eventually, he was adopted by a loving family, who welcomed him as a part of their household. The woman believed that this family would provide Oscar with the care and attention he needed, and the presence of other dogs in the household would ensure his socialization. However, Oscar struggled to adjust to his new environment. Accustomed to the freedom he had during his time with Charu, Oscar found it challenging to adapt to the confines of his new home. Additionally, the unfamiliar voices and busy atmosphere of the household made him uncomfortable, leading to behavioral issues. Despite the family's efforts to integrate Oscar into their home, he reacted negatively to the affection shown by the woman's daughter, resulting in an altercation. Consequently, the family decided to return Oscar to Charu, acknowledging that they were unable to provide him with the environment he needed. Once again under the Charu's care, Oscar found himself at the Angaja Foundation shelter on January 19th 2024, where he received proper nourishment and care. Here, amidst a supportive environment and a balanced diet, Oscar began to thrive. He gradually regained his health and even started to exhibit signs of improved behavior. Periodically, the woman checked on Oscar's progress, gathering information about his well-being and behavior. She observed the positive changes in him, noting his health and contentment. Despite his tumultuous journey, Oscar's resilience and the unwavering support of compassionate individuals like Charu ensured his path to recovery. Today, Oscar resides in the shelter, enjoying the company of other dogs and receiving the care he deserves. His story serves as a testament to the transformative power of love and compassion, reminding us of the profound impact that kindness can have on the lives of animals in need.

The sudden loss

There was an accident at our dog shelter. Suddenly, one of our wards, not yet an old dog, died on 15th of July 2023. Her name was Jyoti. Her death shocked us, because the dog showed no signs of illness or indisposition. What happened? We began to look for information about such cases and, of course, sought the advice of a veterinarian. We needed to understand the causes of what happened in order to save the rest of the dogs. The deceased dog showed no signs of illness or injury. She only had a bluish tongue and lips when shelter workers found her. We contacted the veterinarian Dr.Vijay from Sanjay Gandhi Veterinary Hospital and discussed what happened. Based on the information received from us, the doctor concluded that the dog died from a sudden heart attack. Sudden death in dogs can be a symptom of a heart attack. It occurs when the heart's ability to pump blood is severely compromised, leading to sudden collapse and death. This can happen with no warning signs, making it crucial to keep an eye on your dog's heart health and have regular checkups with a veterinarian. Because heart attacks are very rare in dogs, most of the time if your dog experiences any of these symptoms, it will be due to a different health condition, sometimes even unrelated to the heart. It is very difficult to diagnose heart disease in animals, especially when there are no obvious signs of health problems.

Tara a needy dog

On October 14, 2023, a man named Vedpal came to the farm house from Jaunapur with a female dog, where he met Atiq Ahmed Guard and told him that he had brought a dog who needed help. The dog is partially blind, there was a wound on her back and she was so weak that she was not able to walk. She looked emaciated as if she had not eaten proper food for many days. Tara was sent to the Pasha Wing of CGS Hospital in Gurgaon There she was tested for distemper and luckily the report was normal. When her wound was examined, there were many maggots in the wound and to kill those maggots the doctors put medicines in the wound. The doctor said to bring her the next day so that the maggots could be removed after they died. The next day, Tara's maggots were removed and she was given medicine to heal her wounds. The wound has healed but she has some neurological problems due to which she keeps circling at the same place many times, in which she falls down several times and then gets up again and starts circling again. But the staff of Angaja Foundation takes good care of her and feeds her separately. Due to her habit of circling at one place, she was again taken to the hospital and the doctor prescribed medicine for one month to improve her neurological condition.

Persistent Ram

Ram is a six-month-old puppy that was found by a good friend of Angaja Foundation and animal lover Ms. Jasmine. It looked like the puppy had been hit by a vehicle. Miss Jasmine took care of the dog for two days until the organization staff took Ram to the shelter on May 12th 2023. Ram was a very smart, calm, and friendly dog. The dog turned out to be very strong in spirit. Despite the injuries, he tried to walk. On the 12th of May 2023, Ram went to the Pasha hospital, where he was inspected and an x-ray was done. Fractures were found during the examination. The veterinarian prescribed treatment and gave care recommendations and puppy came back to the shelter. He was recovering very quickly. But suddenly one day he disappeared. Shelter workers searched the area, but unfortunately did not find Ram. We hope that he found new home and caring owners.

Once, on a hot summer day

How do you escape the heat? Humans have come up with many ways to escape the summer heat. We use Acs, coolers and fans etc. But what about street animals? During the summer months, they suffer because of the over bearing heat and also a lack of water to drink With the support of the President of Angaja Foundation Raka Sinha Bal, a pool was created for our four-legged friends at the our shelter in Jaunapur. Dogs really love to take a refreshing “bath” in the pool during the hot summer months. Some of them simply enjoy sitting in the cool water, some play happily with each other ( like children in the river) frolicking and splashing.

Happy Raksha Bandhan

Angaja Foundation celebrated Raksha Bandhan at Mansarover Park on 23 of August 2023. All the children were very excited. The foundation’s coordinators explained to the children the meaning and traditions associated with this festival. On Rakhi Day, families prepare delicious dishes and sweets, and get together. But the main event of this festival: sisters are tying beautiful rakhis on the hands of their brothers. The sisters prepare the puja on a special - thali. It includes threads, rakhis, tilak powder, rice grains, incense, and sweets. First, rituals are performed for the family deities, after which the sisters do arti in front of their brothers, offering treats to them, placing tilak, and, finally, tying the rakhi on their wrists. Traditionally, homemade "Raksha" laces are used, which the girls lovingly tie around the brother's wrists. The action is accompanied by wishes of good luck, health, and prosperity. It is believed that this rite will bring protection to a man and make him strong. In turn, the brothers undertake to take care of their sisters, help them in every possible way, and protect them from evil. There are different stories about how Raksha Bandhan was born. One story is taken from the Indian epic Mahabharata. Lord Krishna (an incarnation of god Vishnu ) had cut his finger, so Draupadi, his cousin, tears off a strip from her sari to bandage the wound. After that, Krishna promises to return the favor to her. Another story is related to Lord Indra . Defeated during the war between gods and demons, he turned to his guru or adviser Brihaspati for help. Brihaspati tells him to tie a sacred thread around his wrist. Indra's wife, Indrani, tied a thread around Brihaspati's wrist and hence the gods won. Angaja Foundation distributed Rakhi to the girls and they tied the rakhis on their brothers. It was nice to see the happy faces of the boys and the girls.

Chottu

On the 15th of June 2023, returning home at night, Raju (The Angaja Foundation Shelter employer) saw a puppy rushing along the road in the Kapasera area of Delhi. It was scary to look at the puppy, as passing cars could run him over. Raju stopped and picked up the puppy. Looking around Raju did not find his mother nearby and decided it was too dangerous to leave him on the road so he took him home. At home Raju gave him milk and examined the puppy, he found no injuries. It was a male puppy about two months old. In the morning he took him to the Jaunapur Shelter of the Foundation. It was decided to keep the puppy in the kitchen area because he feels comfortable and protected, beside he wanted to be near his savior Raju. The dogs living in the shelter began to come and get acquainted with him. The puppy tries to attack them and barking, but without aggression, it looked as if he wanted to make friends with the other dogs. The shelter staff provided him with a place to sleep and regular meals and named him Chottu.

Celebrating Independence Day-2023

He was the single child of Motilal Nehru and Swarup Rani Nehru. Nehru, under the approval of Gandhi, his mentor, rose to become one of the most dominant figures in Indian politics from the 1930s onwards. Nehru, after much deliberation, accepted the partition proposal for India in 1947 and took oath as the First Prime Minister of Independent India 3. Lal Bahadur Shastri - Lal Bahadur Shastri was born on 2nd October 1904 in the state of Uttar Pradesh. He was conferred with the title ‘ Shastri’ which in English means Scholar. At the age of sixteen, he left his studies to join the non-cooperation movement at the call of Gandhi. Later, he graduated with a first-class degree from Kashi Vidyapeeth located in Banaras, a national institution of higher education inaugurated by Gandhi. He was one of the most proactive Indian freedom fighters who participated in various movements such as the Quit India and, Civil Disobedience movement led by Mahatma Gandhi. Lal Bahadur Shastri was incarcerated by the British for considerable periods during his lifetime. Post-independence, he first became the Home Minister and later was made the Prime Minister of India in the year 1964.

During many years he was a part of the shelter. This year shelter workers noticed that the dog scratches his ears very hard and reacts aggressively when trying to examine them. It was decided to send the animal to the Pasha clinic. On 13 th of May 2023, after the examination, the doctor said that parasitic worms were found in the ears of Kalicharan. The veterinarian cleaned and showed how to care for and treat the ears, and prescribed the necessary medicines. But unfortunately, the parasites returned again and again. They penetrated very deep into the ears. Over time it became impossible to get them out of there and eventually they reached the brain. And despite periodic visits to the veterinarian and the care taken by of the staff, he died on 01 of June 2023.

Blacky the crippled dog

Blacky is a two-year-old vaccinated Street dog who was living in Sector 31 Gurugram market, where Neena Bhardwaj ji used to feed him milk and biscuits during the day and chicken and rice at night. Six month back when he was on the road in front of a sweet shop, a car hit him and due to the accident one back leg was badly injured. The people in the market contacted Umeed Foundation and gave all the information about Blackie and asked them to bring an ambulance for his treatment immediately they then informed about this incident to Neena ji, when she reached there, after two hours the ambulance came and due to the delay, he lost a lot of blood. After bringing him to the clinic from the market the people of Umeed Foundation said that his leg was completely injured and it would have to be amputated. To avoid amputating, Neena ji talked to Dr. Shelly's at a clinic in gurgaon, and she said that if he got proper dressing and medication, his leg could be saved. Due to the negligence of Umeed Foundation, his dressing was not done properly due to which he got gangrene. Then Neena ji talked to Aarti Bhardwaj who runs The Happy Paws Foundation, after which she took Blacky to Dr. Joshan’s clinic in Sec. 22, Gurgaon. Seeing his critical condition, the doctor said his leg would have to be amputated otherwise due to gangrene, his back would be paralyzed. After amputation, he was kept in day care for two months, the expenses of which were paid by Happy Paws Foundation. After two months he was released again at the old place. Within a few days, other dogs bit his ears, after which he had to be kept in day care for a month. He was again brought back to his place but due to lack of one leg, he was dragging himself which caused injury to his body. The doctor advised that it would be necessary to keep him in a place where grass and soil were available. Neena Ji contacted Angaja Foundation President Raka Sinha Bal, on which our President with the help of Neena ji immediately called him to the farm on 9th of December 2023. Now Blacky roams around the farm, eats food and is happy and the people of the shelter take good care of him.

We provided the children with dry colors, cold and soft drinks. Kids enjoyed themselves spread colors and water to each other The colourful festival of Holi is celebrated by different names in this vast and culturally diverse country. The traditions followed for the festival varies a little and at times a lot as one moves from one state to other studying the various facets of the festival and getting behind the various colours of it.
On the 7 th of March 2023 Satya Prakash went to the educational center at the Maan Sarovar Park, for celebration of Holi festival with another group of children. Thirty children took part in this party. We shared information about history of the Holi festival and about traditions.
Nowhere Holi is celebrated with so much charm and enthusiasm as in Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana and Nandgaon - the places associated with the birth and childhood of Lord Krishna. At Barsana Holi assumes the name of Lathmaar Holi. Here, women of Barsana give a tough time to men of Nandgaon as they come to play Holi with them. Women drag the unlucky captives, beat them, dress them in a female attire - yet all is in the spirit of Holi.
Women of Haryana, specifically the bhabhis too get an upper hand on the day as they get a social sanction to beat their devars and take a sweet revenge for all the mischiefs they have played on them. This revengeful tradition is called the Dulandi Holi. The most enjoyable tradition of Holi, of course, apart from the play of colours is the tradition of breaking the pot. It is celebrated with much fan fair in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. Here a pot of buttermilk is hung high on the streets. Men form a huge human pyramid and one on the top breaks the pot with his head. All this while women keep singing Holi folk songs and throwing buckets and buckets of water. The tradition has its roots in the mischievous nature of Lord Krishna who was so fond of butter milk that he used to steal it from every accessible house in the village. To hide the butter from young Krishna, womenfolk used to hang it high. All in vain!
Holi is celebrated in the most dignified manner in the state of Bengal. At Vishwa Bharti University, founded by Rabindranath Tagore founded the tradition of celebrating Holi as 'Basant Utsav' or 'Spring Festival'. Students decorate the campus with intricate rangolis and carry out prabhat pheris in the morning. Clad in a traditional attire young boys and girls sing songs composed by Gurudev and present an enchanting view to the onlookers who gather in large number here. In other parts of Bengal, Holi is celebrated as Dol Yatra where the idols of Radha and Krishna are placed on a decorated palanquin and taken out in a procession.
For Sikhs, Holi calls for the display of their physical strength and military prowess as they gather at Anandpur Sahib a day after Holi to celebrate Hola Mohalla. The tradition was started by the tenth and last guru of Sikh religion, Guru Gobind Singh ji and is being religiously carried forward.
In the north east, Manipuris celebrate the festival in a colourful manner for six continuous days. Here, the centuries old Yaosang Festival of Manipur amalgated with Holi with the introduction of Vaishnavism in the eighteenth century. The highlight of the festival here is a special Manipuri dance, called 'Thabal Chongba'.
Well, there are many-many more ways in which Holi is celebrated. Different states, different cities and different villages have come out with their unique and innovative styles of playing Holi. It may not be possible to describe all of them at one place. What is noteworthy though is the fact that the spirit of Holi remains the same throughout. It is the festival which generates the spirit of brotherhood and bring people close - and this is what matters most than anything else.
What enhances the spirit of Holi though is the tradition of consuming the intoxicating bhang. It is generally consumed with thandai or as pakoras. People go high on it and enjoy the festival to the hilt. Other Holi delicacies include gujiya, mathri, malpua, puranpoli, dahi badas, etc. After a frenzied play of colours people love to gorge them up.
This information we shared with the kids, because it very important for new generation to know history of the Motherland.

The vaccine is available in many forms and is effective as well as safe; this vaccine is suitable for a short period of time to protect against rabies disease after a dog has been exposed to the rabies virus after a bite. After three doses of this vaccination, the immunity that is built up in the body remains for a long time. People, who are at high risk of exposure to the rabies virus, should also get the anti-rabies vaccine, on the advice of a doctor, at frequent intervals. All the work was done under the supervision of Raka Sinha Bal, President of Angaja Foundation. The MCD Veterinary Govt. Clinic in Jaunapur has done a great job for us.

Puppy rescue in Lucknow

Late in the evening,a call came from Lucknow at the Angaja Foundation office from Farhat Durrani that a bitch had given birth to five male puppies and she wanted them rescued as she could not keep them. Lucknow is 500km from Delhi and rescuing these puppies would be a very difficult task. A contact in Delhi Sheeba, a very dedicated dog lover gave me the names of dog lovers who could help out in Lucknow. I (Raka Sinha Bal President Angaja Foundation) approached Preeti and Kamna in Lucknow and asked them whether these puppies could be adopted. After a few days they said it would be very difficult. I decided to send my Man Fridas Dinesh and Sunder in our vehicle to Lucknow to rescue the puppies. He made very good time and reached LUCKNOW by one in the afternoon. He called Farhat who called him to Victoria Street where she lived.The Indian dogs living on the streets would not let Pooja the mother come out of the house. Farhat therefore carried Pooja to the car and then brought the puppies in a bucket. She had to make three trips to get them all packed into the car. Although the puppy family arrived in the middle of a severe winter, they were kept in a warm room with a heater. They are thriving and growing up and they have also been vaccinated. Happy Happy ending.

We had sent a letter to MCD on 28th June 2021 for anti rabies injection after that compounder came from the Veterinary Govt. Clinic, Jaunapur to our animal shelter on 9th July 2021. A lot of effort is required with the dogs for anti Rabies Injection. All work was done under the supervision of Mrs. Raka Sinha Bal General Secretary of Angaja Foundation. The MCD Veterinary Govt. Clinic has done an excellent job for us.
