About Community, Tributes & Blessings
We do not have public visiting hours because this is a permanent home, not a petting zoo. But during our invite-only Open Farm Days, vetted rescuers and supporters come to see the reality of 1800 dogs living with dignity. It is a chance to step inside our 7-acre sanctuary, meet the residents, and understand what it takes to run a no-kill facility on this scale.
Why We Host Open Farm Days
We believe you should see exactly where your support goes. Many people donate to animal causes but never see the dogs, the food preparation, or the hospital facilities. Our invite-only Open Farm Days change that. When you visit our Bengaluru sanctuary, you are not just a guest; you are part of the team that ensures these 1800+ dogs are fed, treated, and respected. You will see the scale of our 7-acre operation, the industrial kitchen preparing 3 tons of food daily, and our on-site trauma hospital.
Honoring Their Lives
Our community extends to the memories of dogs who have passed on. We offer spaces for tributes and blessings, allowing supporters to honor their own pets or the resilient souls who found peace at VOSD. This bond between the rescuer, the supporter, and the dog is the foundation of everything we do.
How to Join the Community
We are strict about who visits, not to be exclusive, but to protect our dogs from stress. If you are an active animal welfare advocate, a rescuer, or a long-term supporter, email us at info@vosd.in with your background and valid identification. We screen every visitor to ensure our sanctuary remains a safe, calm, and predictable home for our residents. Come witness the reality of a no-kill life, meet our team, and see how your contribution creates a permanent home for dogs that the rest of the world turned away.
