The space was given to them by the local municipal corporation and is about 200 sq ft.<\/p>\n<p>Among the many cases they have seen, Dawood says there are two he holds very close to his heart. One is of a young mare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><label class=\"ad-head-label\">Advertisement<\/label><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer leg was <a href=\"https:\/\/thebetterindia.com\/286697\/bengaluru-entepreneur-rescues-abanoned-disabled-dogs-with-own-money-animal-shelter-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fractured and broken<\/a>. The owner had tied nylon strings around its hind legs to prevent the mare from running away while she grazed,\u201d says Dawood. He adds that the nylon had cut into the bone of the leg, thus preventing the helpless creature from moving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When he received a call from a passerby who had seen the animal, Dawood knew he had to do something to help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our knowledge of animal rescues, we had learnt that tending to a horse\u2019s leg when fractured was no easy task. It would be a miracle even if the animal managed to survive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On going to the vet, they were informed that the leg would have to be amputated. Julie, the mare, would live with three legs. As Dawood adds, she lived with them for two years <a href=\"https:\/\/thebetterindia.com\/283869\/jaipur-veterinarian-free-prosthetic-limbs-to-disabled-animals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">at the rescue centre<\/a> where they looked after her well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another rescue was that of a dog.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne rainy day we received a call that a dog was stuck in a pool of water on a nearby ground. When we reached the site, her state was pitiful. Half of the animal\u2019s body was stuck in the water and the dog wasn\u2019t able to make her way out,\u201d says Dawood.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"958\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/en-media.thebetterindia.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20220919-WA0005_11zon-1663588445.jpg\" alt=\"A rescue operation\" class=\"wp-image-297677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en-media.thebetterindia.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20220919-WA0005_11zon-1663588445.jpg 958w, https:\/\/en-media.thebetterindia.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20220919-WA0005_11zon-1663588445-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/en-media.thebetterindia.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20220919-WA0005_11zon-1663588445-500x668.jpg 500w, https:\/\/en-media.thebetterindia.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20220919-WA0005_11zon-1663588445-768x1026.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en-media.thebetterindia.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG-20220919-WA0005_11zon-1663588445-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\"\/><figcaption>A rescue operation, Picture credits: Dawood Mohammad <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>On examination, when he went into the water, Dawood discovered that the dog was unable to move as her hind legs were tied together. She had been thrown into the water by someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What they also figured was that she was a lactating mother and thus <a href=\"https:\/\/thebetterindia.com\/278819\/delhi-brothers-rescue-birds-kite-flying-injuries-wildlife-hospital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">began to look for her pups<\/a> around the area. But the rain made it impossible. So, Dawood took the mother to his rescue shelter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The next day, on going back to the field, they spotted four pups that resembled the mother and picked them up in a box and took them to the shelter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as we dropped them in front of their mother, they were so happy,\u201d says Dawood. While the mother passed away after two months after this incident, two of the pups were adopted, while the other two were kept at the rescue centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-every-rescue-is-an-achievement\">\u2018Every rescue is an achievement.\u2019\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thebetterindia.com\/272456\/cat-cafe-studio-mumbai-lets-you-adopt-stray-animals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Helping a voiceless creature<\/a> always comes with a sense of satisfaction, says Dawood. He adds that what he and his team are doing is vital as there are not many rescue operations in the valley.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are the most active and the face we have is not our own, but of the animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his rescue work, Dawood is joined by his wife Mariya. She says in her experience \u201cit has been transformational to be able to help animals in need\u201d. She adds that being able to save a soul which can do nothing for you in return has been an awakening experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She says, \u201cWe are often asked \u2013 why not help humans instead? This gives us an idea of how important it is to let people know about the sufferings and plight of animals.\u201d She adds that with the rise of incidents involving<a href=\"https:\/\/thebetterindia.com\/251019\/wildlife-rescue-kashmir-woman-teacher-leopard-bear-aaliya-mir-math-teacher-animal-human-conflict-yos191\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> man-animal conflicts daily<\/a>,\u00a0 she believes if they can make changes in people\u2019s behaviour towards animals, many problems can be solved.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Mariya, there are three other people in Dawood\u2019s team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The way the rescue operations work is simple.

He says, \u201cWe don\u2019t have transport of our own, and so we contact load carriers and auto drivers and ask them to come to the shelter and load the equipment such as the cages, medical equipment, bandages, iodine, etc. or in the case of larger animals, ropes, grass to lure animal, etc. We then go to the site and <a href=\"https:\/\/thebetterindia.com\/268812\/chennai-birdman-joseph-sekar-own-savings-feed-birds-rescue-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take the animal to the vet<\/a> or the shelter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the shelter, dogs are given food twice a day. The meal includes rice mixed with pulses and soybean, and sometimes even non-vegetarian food. Horses and cows are given hay and dry grass fodder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He adds that the biggest challenge they face is a lack of ambulances and space. The space too is small and overcrowded, increasing the chances of cross infection.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, adoptions are a concern. \u201cThough we put up posts on social media, so people can come and adopt, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/thebetterindia.com\/267123\/unsung-hero-domestic-help-mangaluru-rajani-shetty-rescue-stray-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">many social stigmas<\/a> here as keeping dogs is not a done thing in a Muslim majority community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date, the shelter has helped 1,200 animals, says Dawood adding that they receive 8 to 10 calls a day and can do around three to four rescues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, we are trying to raise funds to get ambulances so we can reach the destinations on time and even at odd times when transport may not be available,\u201d says Dawood, who finances the venture through the earnings of the clothing store that he runs. \u201cThe yearly expenses amount to Rs 20 lakh and thus funds are of utmost importance.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to be a part of Dawood\u2019s endeavour to save and rescue animals, you can donate <a href=\"https:\/\/milaap.org\/fundraisers\/support-dawood-3?deeplink_type=paytm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited by Yoshita Rao<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is another Monday in Srinagar, Kashmir, and for Dawood Mohammad and his wife Mariya Mushtaq, it means yet another day of calls from people who have spotted an injured animal.\u00a0 Being one of the only few rescue centres in the valley, Dawood says that the work at Animal Rescue Kashmir is never-ending but he [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":143384,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11766],"tags":[1683,5293,2712,16934,60729,4222,10953],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-143383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animal","tag-animals","tag-build","tag-couple","tag-haven","tag-kashmir","tag-rescue","tag-savings"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
