PAWS Thane Ambulance (Since November 07)

They never looked back. The organization grew strength to strength culminating in a successful society truly devoted to their chosen mission and vision.
Local municipal corporations have stopped stray dog killings, but have done little to assist in the sterilization campaign. Sensing the need of the hour, PAWS volunteers played an excellent role: Picking up strays, putting them into the ambulance, taking them to Mumbai hospices for sterilization and vaccination and ultimately releasing them into their respective areas.
In October 2001, PAWS received its first ambulance as donation from Mr. Anil Kataria of Ahmadnagar SPCA, only on the basis of the genuine hard work that members of the organization are putting in.

A housing society in Dombivli (East) has issued a notice to a family living there, that they can no longer keep their pet dog. Afraid that they will be asked to leave, the Murlidhars sought help from animal rights activists. The Plants and Animals Welfare Society (PAWS) has issued a notice to the building's committee, warning them of legal action if the family is troubled.
PAWS fought this case & made the society change its rules & regulations, finally allow PAWS volunteer Vishal Murlidhar to keep his Pet @ home.
