BLUE CROSS SOS is a national-level animal welfare initiative under the aegis of AgroVet Research and Development Foundation (ARDF). Committed to being “the first response and final refuge” for animals in distress, this initiative brings together veterinarians, animal lovers, volunteers, policymakers, NGOs, and communities to build a compassionate, cruelty-free, and sustainable India.
We operate across the full spectrum of animal welfare—rescue, rehabilitation, wildlife treatment, birth control, vaccination, protection, legal advocacy, and ethical care—covering stray, companion, livestock, and wild animals, both large and small, and those used in entertainment, transport, or research.
