Charlie's Animal Rescue Centre

About

Every day at Charlie's Animal Rescue Centre, we get calls about animals in trouble. Some days, we’re packed to the brim and have to say, “Sadyakke nimmalli jaaga illa” (Sorry, no space right now). That’s why our advocacy matters so much - we want a world where fewer animals need rescuing in the first place.

Adopt, Don’t Shop

Adoption is the heart of our work. With so many Indies on the streets, giving one a home is life changing. Indies are tough, loving, and settle in well. The hype around ‘purebred’ pets just leads to more abandoned animals and supports cruel breeding practices. Responsible pet adoption can change all that.

Fighting Everyday Cruelty

We push for simple things that make a big difference:

• Drive slow, save lives.
• Don’t toss plastic - it can trap or injure animals.

We’re also out there campaigning against illegal wildlife trade and pushing for plant-based food advocacy to cut down on animal suffering.

Know Your Rights, Help Animals

It’s illegal to hurt street animals and relocating community dogs isn’t allowed (except for sterilization and vaccination). Street animal legal rights matter - we want you to know them.

Building Kindness

We run coexistence campaigns in schools and local communities because living peacefully with animals is possible. Every small act, every kind choice - that’s how things change.
