Woof! I'm Olive Oyl and I live at Animal Tracks, the IAR centre in Goa. I now have my very own blog to tell you all about the goings on at the centre.

IAR has been working in India since 1998. We now have veterinary clinics in Goa and Tamil Nadu.
Our clinics sterilise cats and dogs and are registered with the Government of India under their Animal Birth Control (ABC) Scheme which allows us to reclaim some of the cost of sterilising and inoculating dogs. We are also closely involved in the campaign to remove the dancing bears from the streets of India. Tourists visiting India will have seen the sorry sight of bears being made to "dance." They are brutally beaten to make them perform.
We are the sole UK funder of bear sanctuaries in Agra in the north and Bannerghatta in the south of India.
