This week, we introduce Mini Vasudevan of the Humane Animal Society in Coimbatore, India. Mini tells us what it’s like running a spay and neuter program for Indian Desi Dogs who live on the streets and in communities throughout the country. Listen to how HAS was given the rare opportunity to take over a local municipal rescue center, and how they balance the need for rescue v. preventing the need for rescue - in the form of sterilization, vaccination, and return to the community. The phenomenon of strong women leading all fronts of the animal rescue sector globally also proves to be true across India, and Mini is a shining example of this with a professional background in engineering and a recipient of the Nari Shakti Puraskar - the highest civilian honor for women in India.
