As a dedicated veterinary hospital in Pune, BCS Pune believes every animal deserves care, with or without an owner.

- Residents concerned about a stray near their home
You don't need to be a registered member or donor. Just bring the animal.

Practical Tips Before You Visit
- Call ahead on 1800-419-9005 to confirm OPD timing

- For friendly dogs, use a leash or dupatta as a makeshift lead

Can't Visit Personally? Still Help
Even if you can't bring strays yourself, you can sponsor stray dogs and cats to fund their OPD treatments. Donate supplies, volunteer on weekends, or help spread the word about free vet services. When you adopt stray dogs from BCS Pune, you're also supporting their OPD mission indirectly.
