Street Dogs Of India - WSD Calendar 2014



You will be happy to know that the WSD Calendar 2014 - Street Dogs Of India is now available at various outlets in Mumbai. (See list below). They can also be couriered to other places in India. 





  
Cover - A pup from a village in Meghalaya

The WSD Calendar for 2014 is a compilation of images shot by various photographers, on their wanderings through the length and breadth of the country.   


January - Lovedale, Tamil Nadu


While the physical settings and cultural backdrops may differ, all the pictures essentially tell one story...the story about the people you don't see in the photographs. The people who care for the dogs, feed and shelter them, report when they are ill or injured, take them to the nearest animal welfare organisation or hospital and tend to them in the absence of one. The dogs in return shower them with love, companionship and security.



April - Pune, Maharashtra
The WSD calendar has photographs taken by four photographers: Rohan Mukerjee, Parizad Dotiwalla, Abodh Aras and Mark Aranha. Photos of street dogs from Pune, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Meghalaya, Kolkata and many other places in India have been featured!  

September - Divar, Goa

WSD has been looking after street dogs in Mumbai since 1994. We look after their health, vaccinate them against rabies and spay/neuter them so that their population is controlled in a humane manner.  There are now many animal welfare organisations that look after street dogs all over India.


November - Mumbai, Maharashtra


The calendar is available at various outlets in Mumbai. (Please see list given below). It can also be couriered to various cities outside Mumbai (check with us on the courier costs depending on the no and type). It is priced at Rs 150 (Wall and Desk) as a donation towards WSD's sterilisation, immunization and health care programmes.  To order the WSD calendar, you can also e-mail on wsdindia@gmail.com or call 64222838.
