ANIMAL CARE PROGRAM IN DHARAMSHALA
Tibet Charity runs a dog sterilization and animal care program in Dharamshala to promote humane animal care and safer communities through sterilisation, vaccination, and treatment of stray animals. Established in 2006, with Kind support from Brigitte Bardot Foundataion, the programme focuses on preventing rabies, reducing human-animal conflict, and providing timely care to animals in need.
Our efforts have received growing institutional support. In 2023, we were formally recognised by the Animal Welfare Board of India, affirming the quality and importance of our work. Most recently, in 2024, the Dharamshala Municipal Corporation began collaborating with us, strengthening coordinated action for humane animal management in the region.

We carry out sterilization of dogs and provide anti rabies vaccination program for stray dogs in Dharamshala.
