Karuna Society for Animals and Nature

Karuna Society for Animals and Nature We are a registered non-profit organization involved in animal care and organic farming, Puttaparthi.

Karuna Society for Animals and Nature, is established in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, South India, since 2000, as a non-profit organsiation working for animal welfare and the environment. Over the years, the organization has grown from rescue and care of small animals to care of large animals and wildlife as well as the care of the environment through organic farming, biogas, vermicompost, etc. In

ten years, with the support of its well-wishers, Karuna has accomplished the following;
-Clinic and shelter for small animals.
-Separate operation theatre for ABC (Animal Birth Control) to cover the
entire South Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.
-Hospital and operation theatre for large animals
-Shelter for rescued cattle
- Wildlife rescue center over a separate area of 5 acres
- Truck for transport of different animals.
-Organic farm and spirulina production
-Shop in Puttaparthi for selling our organic produce and informing the public. A major project in the pipeline is the construction of a new wildlife centre on a larger and more appropriate venue, around the forest area. This will provide a better home for abandoned, sick and rescued wildlife in our care. A larger number of wild animals can be treated and housed here as compared to our current wildlife sanctuary. Karuna Society for Animals & Nature, besides looking after the welfare of animals, including working animals to help the local farmers, also provides employment to nearly 40 locals, thus improving the lot of the community. It is also involved in Humane Education programs with local schools.

Growing with Compassion: Building a Stronger Team for Animals in Need🏋️🧑‍🤝‍🧑

For a very long time, Karuna Society struggled due to a shortage of manpower and skilled staff. Finding people who genuinely love animals and are driven by compassion rather than just a job was extremely challenging. This made our work difficult, especially in critical care areas.

We are happy to share that this situation has significantly improved. Recently, four new staff members joined our team. Out of them, three are well-educated, skilled, and deeply compassionate toward animals. They are currently being trained in OPD services, cattle care, and wildlife care. It has been two weeks since they started, and they are working with dedication, enthusiasm, and care. While they are settling in well, they still require time, guidance, and continuous support to reach their full potential.

With this team, we are confident that OPD services will now deliver much better quality care. For cattle , we have also found suitable support, and the services are functioning smoothly. Wildlife care remains a challenge, as it demands experienced professionals. In the future, we will need at least two more trained and experienced wildlife staff. However, with our current team, we are managing the present workload efficiently.

At the same time, Karuna Society is in urgent need of one permanent veterinary doctor and one permanent assistant, preferably with experience in wildlife treatment. Their support will be crucial in strengthening our services and saving more lives.💖🎊

With continued support and compassion, we believe we can build a stronger, more reliable system of care for animals in need.

WHERE HIS HEART CHOSE TO STAY 💖

One and a half years ago, this beautiful soul came into our lives at Karuna. 💛
He was originally brought from another place for hunting. Sadly, soon after, he was attacked by distemper and became extremely weak. The situation caught our attention because the place was close to our clinic, so we immediately brought him in for treatment.

By the time he reached us, his condition was critical. But with timely care, love, and consistent treatment, he slowly recovered and today, he is doing so much better. 🌱

Although his owner’s house is nearby and he is free to go there anytime, he always chooses to stay at Karuna. Here, he feels safe, loved, and happy spending his days with his canine friends and the people who stood by him when he needed it most.

Sometimes, home isn’t a place… it’s where the heart chooses to stay. 🐾❤️

Dolly: The Brave Voice with Three Paws 🐾

Dolly came to us after a
road accident that changed his life forever. One careless moment, one speeding vehicle and his little leg was too badly injured to save. To give him a chance at life without pain, we had to amputate.

But Dolly didn’t lose his spirit.

Today, he is the loudest voice at Karuna. Every new animal, every unfamiliar person Dolly announces their arrival with confident barks, as if he’s saying, *“Welcome… but I’m watching you.”*

And yet, when someone comes too close, you’ll find him running softly to the terrace, hiding behind courage that’s still learning to trust again.

With patience, love, and kindness, dogs like Dolly heal. 🐶💚

He may walk on three legs, but his love, loyalty, and voice are more powerful than ever.

Sympathy Without Responsibility

We would like to clearly explain our policy so there is no misunderstanding.

Karuna Society for Animals and Nature provides rescue and permanent shelter only for local dogs within the Puttaparthi Municipality. Due to limited space and resources, it is not possible for us to provide permanent shelter to animals from all over.

However, free treatment is available for animals from anywhere, as long as they are brought to our clinic. Once the animal recovers, the responsibility of taking the animal back lies with the people who brought it.

In this particular case, a dog from Anantapur (ATP) met with an accident and suffered injuries to both front legs and one hind leg. The dog was already taken to a local vet in ATP. Later, photos were sent to the Karuna Helpline, and we were pressurised to keep the dog permanently.

We clearly informed them via text message that:

We can provide free treatment

We cannot keep the dog permanently

They must take the dog back after recovery

We never received any response after this.

Two days later, while our Secretary was passing through a street in Puttaparthi, he found the same dog abandoned on the road, still wearing the same old bandages. The dog had been dumped irresponsibly.

Seeing the condition of that poor soul, we brought the dog back to our clinic. Unfortunately, due to severe infection and neglect, one leg had to be amputated. Thankfully, the other injured leg healed with proper care.

This is the painful reality of fake animal lovers who show sympathy online but refuse to take responsibility and choose to abandon innocent lives.

Rescued , Released, and Free Again

This young mongoose had been troubling a farmer by eating his chicks. In desperation, the farmer set a trap and the mongoose was caught. Fortunately, instead of harming the little one, the farmer reached out to the Karuna Helpline for help.

Our team responded immediately, rescued the frightened mongoose, and safely transported the youngster away from danger. After a quick health check, we gave the mongoose a hard release in a safe natural habitat, where this small life can live freely without conflict.

Had the mongoose remained with the farmer in a cage, survival would have been uncertain.
But today, this brave little one received a second chance. 🐾💚

🌧️ Only the Females Were Left Behind… 💔🐾

Last month, we received a late-evening call from a super-specialty doctor. On his way home, near the airport roadside ditch, he heard faint cries. When he stopped to check, he found tiny puppies struggling in the rain. The ditch was filling with water and they wouldn’t have survived much longer.

Without a second thought, he rescued them. ❤️

He called Karuna Society immediately, but it was already late at night, so we couldn’t reach the location. The next morning, we went there and that’s when we learned something heartbreaking:

👇
All the puppies were female.

In many rural areas, families keep one or two male dogs and abandon the females often by drowning them or leaving them where they cannot survive. These babies were meant to face the same fate… but this time, compassion arrived before cruelty could finish its job. 🥺🐶

We brought them back to our clinic. Since young puppies are extremely vulnerable to infections, we cleaned and prepared a separate safe space in the cattle shed area to protect them.

Today, they are safe. They are warm. They are alive. 💕

If anyone is willing to give them a forever home, we would love to see them adopted . Though we know female puppies are less likely to get chosen. If not, they will stay with us as part of the Karuna family. 🏡🐾

🌿🐒 “A Little Family Made by Love” 🐒🌿

These three little monkeys came to Karuna Society through hardship, but today they have something precious , that is each other.

The smallest one, who still sucks his fingers, was abandoned by his mother and grew up as an orphan. Bottle-feeding became his lifeline, and the gentle habit stayed with him as a source of comfort and safety.

His two companions came with their own struggles , both survived electrocution, and are differently abled. Yet every day, they show incredible resilience, strength, and tenderness.

Together, they’ve formed a family of their own.
They move through life side by side , playing, exploring, resting, comforting one another, and simply being little monkeys discovering the world together. Their bond is quiet, innocent, and deeply beautiful.

As they grow, they will soon shift to a larger space where they can climb higher, explore more freely, and continue healing in an environment made for their wellbeing.

For now, they have love, safety, and each other.
And sometimes, that’s all a broken beginning needs to become a hopeful future. 💛🌿

Karuna's little bull Ramu is growing very well. Missing his mother's warmth in the night, he is holding on. It is not easy to make a picture of him as he knows only his Attendant. Our rescued cattle at Karuna have become wild, undomesticating themselves - being free in body, mind and spirit!

💔 A Miracle from Puttaparthi 🐾

20 km away from Puttaparthi, life changed forever for one brave soul. A train accident left this gentle dog fighting for his life on the tracks all alone, bleeding, and in unimaginable pain. 🚂😢

But kindness travels fast. Local villagers didn’t turn away. They lifted him with trembling hands and rushed him to us at Karuna for Animals and Nature. ❤️🙏

Our team fought against time. To save his life, we had to make a heartbreaking choice , amputating his leg and one eye. 🦴💔 Yet through it all, he never stopped trusting us. His tail still wagged.

Today, he’s safe… healing, loved, and officially a permanent resident at Karuna our brave “one-eyed warrior.” 🐕✨

His spirit reminds us: even after the darkest moments, love can rebuild life. 🌈

🐾 A Story of Pain, Patience, and Healing

A few days ago, a dog from Yenumulapalli was brought to our clinic with a severe, deeply infected wound infested with maggots. The sight was heartbreaking , the poor dog was in pain, trembling, and exhausted.

When we spoke to the owner, he explained that the injury was caused by another dog’s bite. Unfortunately, he hadn’t brought the dog for treatment immediately. Days passed, and only when the wound began to smell badly did he rush the dog to us.

We immediately admitted the dog as an in-patient and began treatment. Our team cleaned the wound, removed the maggots carefully, and provided continuous care and medication. Slowly, the dog began to recover ,his eyes looked brighter, his tail wagged again, and his spirit returned.

After a few days of care and love, the wound healed beautifully. The once-silent dog was now active and happy again. When we finally handed him back to his owner, the joy in both their eyes made every effort worth it.
