FAQs
Questions humans ask us.
The dogs mostly just ask for biscuits.
Is my donation to Protect The Paws Foundation tax deductible?
Yes. Protect The Paws Foundation is registered under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, so Indian taxpayers can claim a deduction on donations. Your 80G receipt is generated automatically and emailed to you within minutes of donating — just add your PAN while donating.
How do I report an injured street animal in Mumbai?
Call our 24×7 helpline at +91 9004102566 or submit a rescue request on our website with the animal's location and a photo. For critical emergencies, calling is always fastest — our rescue vans operate across Mumbai.
Where does my donation actually go?
Donations fund rescue operations, veterinary treatment, shelter care, sterilisation drives and adoption programs. Every donor receives an official receipt, and our audited financial reports are available on request.
Can I donate monthly instead of one time?
Yes — monthly and annual giving options are available on our donate page. Recurring donors receive regular photo updates of the animals their support is helping.
How do I adopt a dog or cat from Protect The Paws Foundation?
Browse animals at our adoption events or contact us to visit the shelter. Adoption includes a counselling session and a home check, and every animal is vaccinated, dewormed and sterilised before going home.
Can my company partner with Protect The Paws for CSR?
Absolutely. We run CSR programs for animal welfare including sponsored sterilisation drives, shelter construction, employee volunteering days and rescue van sponsorships, with complete utilisation reporting for your CSR compliance.
