Karuna Society for Animals and Nature

Karuna Society for Animals and Nature We are a registered non-profit organization involved in animal care and organic farming, Puttaparthi.

Karuna Society for Animals and Nature, is established in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, South India, since 2000, as a non-profit organsiation working for animal welfare and the environment. Over the years, the organization has grown from rescue and care of small animals to care of large animals and wildlife as well as the care of the environment through organic farming, biogas, vermicompost, etc. In

ten years, with the support of its well-wishers, Karuna has accomplished the following;
-Clinic and shelter for small animals.
-Separate operation theatre for ABC (Animal Birth Control) to cover the
entire South Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.
-Hospital and operation theatre for large animals
-Shelter for rescued cattle
- Wildlife rescue center over a separate area of 5 acres
- Truck for transport of different animals.
-Organic farm and spirulina production
-Shop in Puttaparthi for selling our organic produce and informing the public. A major project in the pipeline is the construction of a new wildlife centre on a larger and more appropriate venue, around the forest area. This will provide a better home for abandoned, sick and rescued wildlife in our care. A larger number of wild animals can be treated and housed here as compared to our current wildlife sanctuary. Karuna Society for Animals & Nature, besides looking after the welfare of animals, including working animals to help the local farmers, also provides employment to nearly 40 locals, thus improving the lot of the community. It is also involved in Humane Education programs with local schools.

🐾 Two Dogs, One Fate

They came on different days, but with the same heartbreaking condition: paralyzed, injured, and forgotten by the world.

The first was an adult dog from Anantapur, hit by a vehicle and left to struggle alone. Because he was older and stronger, we believed he had a fighting chance. He seemed to understand we were trying to help. His eyes still held trust.

The second was a puppy—fragile, vulnerable, and much too young for such suffering. He had the same spinal trauma, but his chances were slim. Our inpatient ward is always full—sick dogs, injured animals, souls in pain—but we found space. We had to try.

They don’t know their odds. They only know that they are no longer alone.

We took both into Karuna as permanent residents. Not because we have space—but because we have heart.

Every life matters. And sometimes, hope is all you can give.

Slinky the Lizard was brought in by a concerned citizen because his front leg was cut off. He is here with us for two weeks already, and his wound is recovering well. After he is back to normal, we will see if he can be released into the wild again.

Several days ago, a little monkey was electrocuted on wires and he fell down. A fruit seller lady observed it and when no one helped him, she lovingly picked up the monkey and brought him to Karuna. We named him IVAN and with our daily treatments of his burn wounds, he is slowly healing and doing well! We hope he can be released again after he recovers.

From Open Grazing to a Peaceful Home

These three Stoic buffaloes have been with us at Karuna for over 20 years, rescued from slaughter and given a second chance at life. They’ve roamed free with our rescued herd ever since.

Now in their twilight years, we’ve gently moved them to our “old age home” near the clinic—a peaceful space with shade, care, and comfort during this harsh summer.

Big thanks to Help Animals India, USA for making this love-filled journey possible!
