The name Bark India was chosen in memory of a little canine friend of ours that we named “Barkie”. Barkie came into our care with a chronic skin complaint which had also caused internal infections. Even in his terrible condition he still managed to wag his tail when greeted by us. We worked effortlessly to try to and nurse him back to full health, with 24hr care and observation being given. Unfortunately, despite all our efforts Barkie lost his fight and sadly passed away. Barkie touched our hearts and made a big impression on our future.

Whilst visiting Pondicherry we recognised that our combined skills/knowledge were needed to give care and treatment to the local street dogs and animals. Thus “Bark India” was registered in Pondicherry.

Whilst we are a small charitable trust our hearts are big and our work is ensuring that Pondicherry street dogs and animals are watched, cared for and treated where required. We also sterilise and vaccinate the street dogs before returning them. This action will help humanely reduce the number of the street dog and also help to reduce the number of rabies cases in both humans and dogs alike.

We also offer food, shelter, clothing and medical care to the aged homeless people of Pondicherry.
