THE TREE OF LIFE FOR ANIMALS LIMITED 

We rescue, treat, vaccinate and sterilise street dogs and cats and provide treatment and care to all other ill and injured street and wild animals. At our animal shelter in a rural and poor area of Rajasthan, India, we employ a large number of local Indian staff. We educate children and adults in all aspects of Animal Welfare. We provide free veterinary services to livestock animals.
