The call comes in the afternoon. A dog has been hit on the road outside a village near Lohawat. She is bleeding, she can't stand, and the heat is climbing past 40°C. Our team wants to leave right away, but first we have to find a way to get there. Today, Ujala has no vehicle of its own for rescues. We borrow a bike, hire an auto, or wait for a volunteer with a car to be free. Each time, we lose time the injured dog doesn't have. Some rescues mean carrying a badly hurt dog on someone's lap, which makes her pain and injuries worse. Some dogs we reach too late. Rural Phalodi district is wide, the villages are far apart, and the nearest vet can be hours away. Distance is often the difference between a dog that lives and one that doesn't. A dedicated ambulance would change that. We are raising funds to buy and fit out an animal ambulance for injured dogs. It will carry a stretcher so dogs can be moved without further harm, a first-aid kit, wound-care supplies and fluids so treatment can start on the spot, and enough space and ventilation to keep animals safe in the desert heat. With our own vehicle, our team can respond the moment a call comes in, reach villages no clinic serves, and bring dogs back to our shelter for surgery and recovery. The ambulance will also carry vets and medicines to our village medical camps. It will help with vaccination drives and take recovered dogs safely back to their home areas. Over last 5 years, we have rescued 250+ dogs, and calls keep growing as more villages learn that someone will come. An ambulance would let us answer far more of them, and faster. Your donation helps buy the vehicle, convert it for animal rescue, equip it, and keep it running for its first year. When the next call comes from a roadside outside Lohawat, we want to be able to go straight away.
