RESQ Charitable Trust

RESQ is a registered Animal Charity (E-5002) under the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950; Section 12 (A), 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961; and Foreign Contributions Regulation Act (FCRA), 2010. RESQ Charitable Foundation, Inc. is also a registered non-profit in the USA (License No. 0450272611) RESQ’s mission is to reach a day where all animals are happy and free from unnecessary suffering. We work towards reducing human-animal conflict by rescuing and treating un-owned street animals who are sick or injured. Through our activities, we also work towards educating and inspiring the urban community to peacefully co-exist with animals on our streets. RESQ was founded in 2007, and our focus is to always remain dedicated to the animals. The organization began at a time when there were no other entities conducting hands-on rescue for animal emergencies on the streets of Pune. This resulted in wounded and sick animals on the street that lay suffering and without help. In this situation, it was very difficult — even for a person who may have felt empathetic towards an injured animal — to do something, because there were no on-site ambulances or medical rescue teams to call for help.
