People for Animals Agra

People For Animals Agra (in short PFA Agra) is an animal welfare organisation that spearheads a popular movement for respecting all life on this earth and is a small but crucial part of India's growing environment awareness. PFA Agra is the Agra chapter of the Animals welfare NGO started by India's popular animal activist Ms.Maneka Gandhi. PFA Agra has been in operation since 1998 and has, since then, come a long distance from its humble beginnings. In the initial days we had no staff, no premises and no resources. The only thing that we did have was our love for animals and a desire to help them in their suffering. We aimed to create a safe haven for these poor souls, where they could live in peace without fear of cruelty. From treating animals on the roadside, we have reached a stage where we run a full-fledged animal hospital which was completed in July 2003.
