Help This Angel For Animals Save Our Four-Legged Friends

We’ve all been welcomed by wagging tails and eager eyes outside our homes, hoping for a bite of food or even just some love. All these dogs want is some love and care. But most of them go hungry for days, are abused, and are shown no mercy. 

India has about 35 million stray dogs wandering the streets every day. That’s millions of dogs without a home struggling to find even a single biscuit to eat. 

Minu Singh, an ardent animal lover and rescuer based in Bengaluru, strives to change the lives of these lovable strays. At the time of the previous Donatekart campaign in 2021, Minu used to daily feed about 800 street animals. That Donatekart campaign helped Minu reduce her own individual expenses towards groceries and medicines by 50%, though she still paid from her own savings for the other large expenses like staff salaries, accommodation and food for her staff, neutering and vaccination drives, firewood, water, and other incidentals. With the generous love and support of the donors at Donatekart, Minu was also able to increase her operations to 1500+ animals.

Now, as of December 2023, she still continues feeding the 1500+ dogs. She moves about her scooter ensuring that every dog in her areas are fed and in good health, often returning home late at night. Minu has been tirelessly working towards helping dogs and other animals for over a decade now.

Minu’s compassion towards animals began at a very young age when she would watch her mother feed a dog named Moti outside their house. She would watch Moti jump on them in excitement and gobble up the food. She was in awe of the change one single meal could bring about. 

Minu soon began her own rescue missions - whether it was a stray puppy or kitten, an injured bird; they all found a home with Minu as she cared for them until they were better. Word soon spread about Minu’s efforts, and since then, there has been no stopping her. 

“ In 2010 people saw me feeding over 200 dogs in my area, rescuing them, and even taking them to get treated. Soon, my number became like a helpline for dog rescue! I would get calls from all corners of the city about dogs and other animals that needed help. Before I knew it, I was feeding 1500+ dogs every single day in the next few years!”
