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.

Rescued puppy awaiting adoption 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.

Tiger Support our work by going on an exciting wildlife tour!
Naturetrek, a UK company specialising in natural history holidays, has developed a bespoke package to India for us that takes place twice a year. 10% of the income goes to our bear rescue project. The next tour takes place from 13 - 22 November 2009. > Itinerary
