in relation to these presents including any donation or contribution
as may be received by the Trustees and all accretions to the Trust
Fund from time to time upon the Trusts and subject to the powers,
provisions, agreements and declarations hereinafter contained and
or declared of and concerning the same.

4.

The objects of the Trust shall be:

i.

To bring much needed efficiency to the Animal Birth Control

Programme, prescribed by the World Heath Organization and the
Central Government as the most humane solution to the stray
dog population crisis.

ii.

To give Delhi a quick, responsive animal ambulance service

and helpline. (our vehicle will not be registered as an ambulance.
For all purposes it is an animal transport vehicle)

iii.

Raise the standard of veterinary care that is currently available

for dogs.

iv.

Establish and operate a state of the art surgical unit,

outpatient clinic and cremation service, wherein stray/homeless
animals have free tickets to whatever is required.

v.

An

aggressive Anti

Cruelty patrol.

From local protests,

confiscation, legal aid, collecting evidence, supporting human

victims.
vi.

Education and Awareness, so the local public is aware of what

needs to be/ is being done for their local stray dogs.

vii.

An adoption programme to encourage and facilitate adoption

of abandoned and street dogs.

viii.

Resource

mobilization

and

funding:

From

collection

of

donations in kind: newspaper, food, medicines, shelter, etc to

raising funds for all our road campaigns , building human
resources for animal welfare.
ix.

To manage and run a volunteer service and support group. It

may be worth to differentiate. Our current volunteers work for
Neighbourhood Woof. They manage our current work load: picking
up dogs, checking houses of potential adopters, fostering, picking
up dogs for neutering, interacting with local dog lovers and so on.
The volunteer service i refer to here is somewhat different. This
group will participate in the animal welfare SHELTER closest to
them. A NW volunteer will supervise a roster and their activities
because animal shelters DO not have the time to do this and end
up missing out on much needed help.
