India: Goa

’Animal Tracks’ is the name of our rescue facility in Goa.

It is located in the North of Goa near the town of Mapusa. We employ six vets under the leadership of our Veterinary Director Astrid Almeida. We started work in Goa in 1998 in a small bungalow, operating on the kitchen table. We had volunteer vets from the UK, Holland, Spain and Germany. Animal Tracks is now a fully functional veterinary clinic with a properly built kennel block housing 90 dogs and a purpose built cattery for 50 cats. The clinic has expanded to deal with wildlife and the numerous pigs, goats, cows and water buffalo that suffer from all sorts of ailments as well as coming into contact with cars on the busy roads.

Visitors are always welcome to the clinic to see the animals and the dogs always need walks! > Download our Goa leaflet (400kb PDF)
