There are thousands of stray dogs and other animals wandering on the roads of cities like Kathmandu in Nepal.
These uncared and unattended animals living on the streets are having to go through a lot of cruelty from human behaviour. Some starve to death; many others are hit by rough riders on the roads; others suffer from different illnesses. They are left untreated in such horrible conditions to die alone. Many of you are well aware of this sad reality of street animals.
But, if you are not among such people who leave them uncared in such a situation and want to rescue those innocent lives, you have many options to do so.
Simply, you can contact the following organisations that work for animal welfare:
1. Sneha’s Care
