Harshita is often the first point of contact when an animal is in distress. Each call that comes to the rescue helpline carries urgency , a dog hit by a vehicle, a puppy trapped, or a stray in need of care. “If a dog needs us or is in a serious condition, we rush there immediately,” she says. “If our van is nearby, we make sure help reaches without delay.” Every successful rescue reminds her why her work matters , it’s about being the voice at the other end when an animal has none.
During the Sankranti camp, a man abandoned a cat at the shelter. What began as a sad situation soon turned into a deeply personal story. “The cat started coming to me,” Harshita shares. “I began feeding her regularly, and before I knew it, she had made my office her home.”
The two have since formed a quiet companionship , a living reminder of how rescue work often changes not just the animal’s life, but the rescuer’s too. “For me,” Harshita says, “this rescue has been incredibly rewarding. I didn’t expect it, but she ended up rescuing me a little too.”
