Words from our community
What our supporters say about us
We found an injured puppy near Vyttila late at night and the Belly Rubs team came within the hour. Today she is healthy, vaccinated and part of our family.
Volunteering on weekend feeding runs in Fort Kochi has been the most rewarding part of my week. The team is caring, organised and truly dedicated.
Their sterilisation and vaccination drive in our colony was handled so kindly. Our community dogs are healthier and our neighbours feel safer.
We adopted our boy from Belly Rubs Foundation and they guided us through every step. You can see the love they put into every rescue.
I donate every month because I can see exactly where the money goes: food, medicine and real second chances for Kochi's dogs.
From rescue to recovery to adoption, Belly Rubs Foundation does it all with so much heart. Kochi is lucky to have them.
