Getting to know TOLFA Animal Hospital

 

The Tree of Life for Animals (TOLFA) is an organisation that is passionate about the welfare and medical needs of India’s street animal population. We are an award winning registered charitable trust, recognised by the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) and a member of the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations (FIAPO).

Founded in 2005, the branches of our Tree of Life have been reaching out and have already provided lifesaving services to more than a quarter of a million animals.  Our current operations run from 2 bases – a veterinary hospital and shelter located in a small village between Ajmer and Pushkar and a dispensary based in Ajmer city.
