With community and volunteer help, their project goals include the following:

Family Planning of Community Dogs

Rishikesh Animal Care takes a proactive approach to control the population of community dogs in a humane manner. As agreed upon by the community, Rishikesh Animal Care executes family planning measures for community dogs.

These measures include spaying and neutering, which not only prevent unwanted litters but also contribute to the overall health and well-being of the animals. Recently Rishikesh Animal Care had the government vet trained to do sterilizations.
