And we’re back! Today officially kicks off the BMAD Summer Camp 3.0! Returning for its third consecutive year, this fan-favorite camp is all about connecting animal-loving kids with the world of rescue and welfare through heartwarming, real-world experiences.

Today, our eager campers started their journey with an exclusive, full tour of our facility, getting a true behind-the-scenes introduction to how the daily magic at BMAD happens. But the absolute highlight of the day? Meeting our incredible residents! The kids got to spend quality time playing with them, and honestly, we aren’t sure who was more thrilled.. the campers or our residents, who were absolutely beaming with joy to make so many new friends.

This is just day one of an unforgettable week. They certainly had fun! Over the next few days, these young animal advocates will dive deeper into the world of rescue, building lifelong memories and life-saving knowledge to help protect our planet and the animals we share it with. We have so many exciting moments ahead! 🙌

Emergency Sunday Rescue- A 2 week old foal was terrible mauled by dogs. The foal had given up on life and was literally waiting for her misery to end. Luckily she was spotted by a few kind people and we were able to rescue the foal and mother. When she came to us , she was only breathing and she had no energy to even lift her head. She was probably heading towards coma. Her Glucose levels were so low that we weren’t even able to read it in our machine. Thanks to our team of vets who were able to revive her and get her back onto her feet. It took nearly 4 hours for the team to get the foal’s glucose level back to normal. Her poor mom, was extremely cooperative and she realised we were here to help her baby. The foal has multiple dog bites across her body and the next 48 hours is crucial for her survival. The condition of the foal is being constantly monitored. Special thanks to who helped us on the spot with rescue and coordination!

We are sickened by the absolute lack of humanity we continue to witness. Dogs are treated like disposable toys, loved only when they are easy. The moment they attain senior age and require actual care, they are deemed an “inconvenience” and thrown to the streets. How do you live with yourself after abandoning a soul who loved you for 10 whole years? It is no different than dumping your own helpless parents or children.

Our hearts broke for Benji, a senior Labrador found abandoned in Villivakkam. Left to fend for himself, he was subjected to vicious dog bites that turned into agonizing maggot wounds on his ear and shoulder.

We refused to let his story end in tragedy. Our team has treated him completely, wiped away the neglect, and nursed him back to full health. He is now ready and up for adoption. He has zero bitterness in him, is completely friendly, gentle, and great with both other dogs and children. Benji deserves to spend his golden years surrounded by real, unconditional love. Please reach out to adopt him, or share his story widely. Every day he stays with us is a day a new, critical emergency animal cannot take his place. 🙏

Thanks to for featuring the work of BMAD and our Chief Veterinarian, Dr. Josika, following the identification and reporting of a suspected Glanders case in Chennai.

What initially appeared to be a severely weakened horse soon raised larger concerns after multiple symptoms consistent with Glanders were identified by our veterinary team. Acting swiftly, BMAD immediately escalated the matter and samples were sent to ICAR-NRCE for testing.

The findings and subsequent advisory issued to the State later led to surveillance, isolation and monitoring measures being initiated for equines across multiple locations by the authorities, considering the highly contagious and zoonotic nature of the disease.

BMAD has veterinarians who specialise in large animal medicine and regularly handle rescue cases involving horses, cattle and other large animals requiring urgent lifesaving care. Proud of our Chief Veterinarian and team for recognising the seriousness of the case early on and taking swift, responsible action that contributed not just to equine welfare, but also to larger public health and disease surveillance efforts.

Thank you & for visiting BMAD and virtually sponsoring Chanel & Tamilmani.

We’re also happy to have your support in helping our rescued animals find loving homes through adoption.

All of them have come from heartbreaking situations. Bought for their looks or breed labels, they were abandoned later due to illness, age, or the care they require. They deserve better than that.

Please consider adoption and give them the life they truly deserve.
