    Since 1965, we have been at the forefront of animal birth control procedures. We refer to it as the ABC program to emphasize how easy it is to control the number of street dogs in a humane manner.

    In order to administer the Animal Birth Control program on street and communal animals, we collaborate closely with the Greater Chennai Corporation and other local bodies in the vicinity of Chennai, Puducherry, and Neyveli.

    In addition to corporations, we assist private individuals with pets, municipal agencies, academic and corporate campuses, and gated communities in spaying or neutering the animals under their care. Up to 80 animals can be included in daily mass ABC-AR activities with the help of a well-trained and equipped team.

    All street animals that we rescue and bring back to health at our hospital in Guindy, Chennai, are likewise sterilized by the Blue Cross. They are then freed to return to the original GPS position where they were first picked up.

  • Rescue of distressed animals

    Residents in the Greater Chennai area who have sick, injured, or abandoned animals languishing on the streets can report these incidents to our helpline.

    Every day, a number of rescue routes traverse the entire city to bring these stray animals to our shelter and hospital for medical attention and rehabilitation.

    Our veterinary hospital admits between thirty and forty sick, injured, or abandoned animals every day.

    A specialized team of skilled rescuers takes over for complex rescues involving animals stranded in dangerous or difficult-to-reach locations. Rescued 318531 animals since 1959.

  • Adoptions and Fostering

    In India, there are millions of abandoned pets and street animals that are either crippled or orphaned.

    A significant amount of the issue has been mitigated at the policy level thanks to the groundbreaking work of the Blue Cross of India's ABC-AR program, which was passed into law more than twenty years ago. But in terms of effectiveness, its implementation—which is the purview of municipalities and city corporations—still needs a lot of work. Therefore, the stream of abandoned puppies and disabled street animals in need of homes, along with the numerous so-called "pedigrees" who are brutally abandoned when they become sick, get old, lose the favor of their "masters," or just go "out of style," does not stop. Have facilitated adoption of 105885 animals so far.
