Rescuing Animals in Trouble

Based on the species and the nature and difficulty of the rescue, PFA Bangalore rescue teams use various means to retrieve the animal safely, often innovating with the conditions at hand. An initial assessment is made over the phone, to gather what materials or equipment to take, or if a specialist rescuer is required.

Clinical Care

PFA Bangalore Hospital provides care and attention to animals that are brought in. Their sole intent is to ultimately facilitate its return to its natural habitat. The hospital houses an intensive care unit, X-ray facility, surgical unit, and quarantine unit.

Their duty team comprises veterinarians, nursing staff, and animal welfare officers, available at all times and always on call. The focus is on providing the necessary treatment and attention to facilitate the animal’s eventual return to its natural habitat.

Rehabilitation

PFA Bangalore rehabilitation center re-integrates displaced, injured, and orphaned animals into their natural habitats. The objective of the process is to equip the animal with the ability to survive in the wild without the need of human aid.

Since every animal is unique in response, the rehabilitation process can therefore vary, based on species and condition. The center focuses on providing appropriate care, nutrition, and training to prepare the animals for life in the wild.

Back in the Wild

PFA Bangalore’s ultimate goal is to release rescued animals back into the wild. PFA Bangalore releases 3 in every 4 rescued animals back into the wild.

The odd one requires either long-term treatment or lifetime care, while some succumb to their injuries. PFA Bangalore chooses a release location taking into account habitat type, population density, state of the environment, and unnatural threats.
