About Us

India has approximately 62 million dogs living on the street, more than any other country. In addition, India has the highest incidence of human deaths by rabies in the world, approximately 1 death every 30 minutes. The government has no national plan to manage the population or the disease. This creates much conflict between the Indian people and the dogs on the street.

Our programs are specifically designed and follow International protocols to try to stabilize the street dog population and eradicate rabies in our small town of Dharamsala - a town of approximately 60,000 people at the foothills of the Himalayas. It is also the home to the Dalai Lama and many Tibetan refugees.

By encouraging locals to feed and bond with street dogs, educating children in school on how to be kind to street dogs even if they are afraid of them, empowering people with the knowledge of post bite protocol for rabies prevention, working to stabilize population through mass spay neuter, and working to eradicate rabies through mass vaccination, we hope to create a community where dogs and humans can live together peacefully and eventually adopt these dogs and give them homes.

The mission of ReelTime Animal Rescue is to promote animal wellness, provide education, and establish a funding channel for caregivers and organizations on the front lines of animal cruelty, wildlife rehabilitation and placement.
