India has an estimated 30 million stray dogs living without food, safety, or medical care. Most organisations respond reactively. VOSD — Voice of Stray Dogs was built to solve the problem permanently. Founded by Rakesh Shukla in Bengaluru, VOSD is India's largest canine welfare institution, combining rescue, medicine, technology, and public health into one accountable model. The World's Largest No-Kill Sanctuary VOSD's 7-acre sanctuary outside Bengaluru is home to over 1,800 rescued dogs in permanent lifetime care. These include animals that lost limbs to train accidents, dogs blinded by cruelty, parvo and distemper survivors, and retired service dogs from the Karnataka Police and Indian Army. No dog is ever euthanised due to lack of space or resources. India's Largest Dog Feeding Programme VOSD serves 13.5 lakh dog meals every year through a network of community feeders and volunteers across Bengaluru, Pune, and beyond. A regularly fed dog is healthier, calmer, and safer for the community. Sterilisation That Actually Works Through its SafeSpay programme, VOSD conducts Animal Birth Control sterilisation and vaccination drives across Bengaluru, Pune, and Kolhapur. This is the only method proven to reduce stray dog populations humanely and sustainably. Technology Saving Lives VOSD built India's first mobile app for dog rescue coordination and operates CloudVet an AI-powered remote veterinary service giving expert medical care to dogs anywhere in India. VOSD also established India's first blood bank for stray and pet dogs. A Business Model That Funds Rescue The VOSD Trust owns a family of pet care businesses veterinary clinics, pharma products, and dog training. Every rupee of profit goes back to the rescue mission. At VOSD, the dogs are the only shareholders. Support India's stray dogs at https://www.vosd.in
