After 12 years of fear and isolation, \u201cAmy\u201d made the courageous decision to flee an abusive home. But as she ran for her life, she could not bear to leave behind the two goats who had been her source of comfort, grounding, and love.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Indraloka\u2019s Emergency Rescue Fund, Amy and her beloved goats are now safe. The goats are receiving immediate care and emergency fostering while a long-term home is secured. For Amy, the relief of knowing her animal companions are safe offers a critical step toward rebuilding her own life free from fear.<\/p>\n
Sadly, Amy\u2019s story is not unique. Many victims of domestic violence delay leaving dangerous situations because they fear for the safety of their animals. Indraloka\u2019s emergency rescue work offers a compassionate lifeline \u2014 providing safety, shelter, and veterinary care to animals caught in crisis alongside their human guardians.<\/p>\n
However, with an increasing number of emergency calls coming in each week, Indraloka\u2019s Emergency Rescue Fund is nearly depleted. \u201cJust last week, we rescued 10 chickens. While their care needs aren\u2019t extensive, adding that many to our daily care list requires a lot of time and expertise. But these goats \u2013 we just couldn\u2019t say no,\u201d said Dr. Indra Lahiri, founder of the Indraloka animal refuge near Dalton. The organization is asking for community support to ensure when an animal is in a moment of crisis, Indraloka is able to respond.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause of the generosity of our supporters, we were able to say yes to Amy and her goats,\u201d said Dr. Lahiri. \u201cBut we are stretched to the limit. Every dollar helps us continue to answer the next call for help\u2014with compassion, safety, and hope.\u201d<\/p>\n
