Journey of the Spirit...

Adopt/Sponsor Animals

India is home to a large population of stray and orphaned animals. Many of these succumb to accidents and diseases due to poor living conditions and often due to the insensitivity of humans, sometimes negligence of their owners too.

At Dhyan Foundation, we try to provide food, shelter and medical assistance to as many needy animals as we come across, and this is made possible due to the consistent efforts of our volunteers and supporters. You too can help these animals.

You can remotely adopt a dog or a calf, and sponsor its upkeep/medical requirements for a year and we will take care of it for you. We will keep you posted on how your pet is faring!

One Dog - Rs 15000/Year Or 2 Eggs, 250ml milk and soya beans a day.

One Calf - Rs 24000/Year Or 6kg bhusa, 400gm khal churi, 2kg greens a day.

When you sponsor/adopt an animal, you cover his monthly food and medical bills. You may visit the animal you sponsor, whenever you want to!

Please select the animals you want to adopt/sponsor.
