It was abandoned as a kitten due to a neurological disorder that has unsteadied its walk. It trembles, and often trips, as it moves along. It also needs to be cleaned by a helper every time it relieves itself. </p> <p><br></p> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch "> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115155006im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2019/07/5d1ca592ecbd6.jpg" alt=""/></div> </figure> <p> </p> <p><br></p> <p>Sarah got her first pet, a German Shepherd, when she was very young and was heartbroken when it was stolen. “I then decided that I would not keep a dog that can be taken from me,” she says. So, since the age of eight, she has been adopting dogs from the streets. </p> <p><br></p> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch "> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115155006im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2019/07/5d1ca593d559e.jpg" alt="A puppy up for adoption at the home shelter"/></div> <figcaption class="media__caption ">A puppy up for adoption at the home shelter</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><br></p> <p>Now 35, she quit her advertising job a few years ago to devote herself to her animal shelter. Between 5:30 pm and early morning, she looks after it all alone, though she has a small staff to help her during the day. She often skips family dinners and weddings to stay with the animals. </p> <p>Sarah also spends a lot of money from her own pocket on the shelter. At times, her expenses exceed 100,000 rupees a month. “I then approach people for donations.” </p> <p><br></p> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch media--uneven media--stretch"> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115155006im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2019/07/5d1ca596ddcad.jpg" alt="A dog rescued by Sarah"/></div> <figcaption class="media__caption ">A dog rescued by Sarah</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><br></p> <p>An even bigger challenge is to deal with people who despise animals. “One of my neighbours once complained to the Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC) that I keep stray animals at home. The next thing I knew was that CBC officials were at my door with guns. They wanted to kill my dogs.”</p> <p>She told them off, insisting that they did not have the right to enter her house. </p> <p><br></p> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch "> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115155006im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2019/07/5d1ca59578633.jpg" alt="Dogs adopted by Sarah JK"/></div> <figcaption class="media__caption ">Dogs adopted by Sarah JK</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><br></p> <p class="dropcap">Hafsa Arshad is the general secretary of Innocent Pets Shelter Welfare Society.

Water is sprinkled on them every now and then to protect them from the summer heat. The dogs living here peacefully sleep in the open. An injured purebred lies at the entrance with a puppy cuddled next to it. “These animals are either wounded or abandoned,” says Hafsa.</p> <p><br></p> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch "> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115155006im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2019/07/5d1ca59239f44.jpg" alt="A rescued dog with an amputated leg"/></div> <figcaption class="media__caption ">A rescued dog with an amputated leg</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><br></p> <p>The main problem the shelter faces is a shortage of money. Its staff often gets its salaries late and recently it cut another expense as well. “We had engaged a van on a monthly rent of 20,000 to rescue animals but we could not afford its rent,” says Hafsa. The transport is now arranged only as and when needed. </p> <p><br></p> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch media--uneven media--stretch"> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115155006im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2019/07/5d1ca595f026f.jpg" alt="An injured dog lying near the entrace to a shelter"/></div> <figcaption class="media__caption ">An injured dog lying near the entrace to a shelter</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><br></p> <p class="dropcap">Ayesha Chundrigar was working as a journalist in London before she came back to Pakistan to fulfill her childhood dream of helping homeless animals. Using her savings and donations from family and friends, she set up a foundation and initially rented a property from Edhi Foundation on the northwestern outskirts of Karachi to build an animal shelter. </p> <p>Since then, the shelter has switched locations four times, mainly due to the hostility of people living close by. “They pulled guns at our vets, locked our gates from outside and threw in poisoned meat to kill our dogs,” says Ayesha.</p> <p><br></p> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch "> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115155006im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2019/07/5d1ca5957827f.jpg" alt="A cat available for adoption"/></div> <figcaption class="media__caption ">A cat available for adoption</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><br></p> <p>In 2016, the shelter shifted to its current premises — a 4,500 square yards facility in Malir. It houses 500 animals, including dogs, cats, donkeys and eagles. Many of them have missing limbs; others are badly injured. </p> <p><br></p> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch media--uneven media--stretch"> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115155006im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2019/07/5d1ca5979e213.jpg" alt="Dogs with wagging tails gather at a shelter to welcome visitors"/></div> <figcaption class="media__caption ">Dogs with wagging tails gather at a shelter to welcome visitors</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p>Run entirely on donations, the shelter has 40 employees and two rescue vans. “We do not focus on saving animals alone. We want to help the environment too,” Ayesha says as she reveals that dog leashes in the shelter are produced with discarded fishing nets retrieved from the sea. </p> <p>The toughest part of her work, according to Ayesha, is to see animals die. She describes how someone threw acid at two cats recently. One of them died instantly but the other writhed and wriggled with pain for three days before it was euthanised, she says. “The cat’s skin and insides were melting like ice cream.” </p> <hr/> <p><em>The writer is a staffer at the Herald.</em></p> <hr/> <p><em>This article was published in the Herald's June 2019 issue.
