Peace Animals Paradise Association

Our group is based in Flat C-2, Block B of Vinayak Vista, right on Patharghata Road in Matigara. It’s not a huge place, but it’s where we coordinate everything. We’re just a bunch of people who couldn't stand seeing animals struggling on the streets. We don't have a big shelter or a fleet of vans. Mostly, we just use our own cars and our own time to check on the local strays. It’s messy work and we often go home with fur on our clothes and mud on our shoes. We don't have a professional board of directors or anything fancy. It’s just us talking in the kitchen about which dog needs medicine or where we can find some extra food. The neighbors are usually pretty patient with us, even when there’s a bit of barking. We aren't trying to be some big national charity. We just care about the animals in this part of Matigara. Sometimes we run out of supplies and have to scramble to find more. It’s a bit disorganized at times, but we really care about what we’re doing. We don't use fancy marketing. If an animal is hurt, someone usually just calls one of us on our personal phones. We do what we can with the little space and money we have. It’s just how we operate.
