Hyderabad Man Braves Floods, Natural Disasters To Rescue 77000+ Animals #IndiaNEWS #Animal Welfare
On Ameenpur, Hyderabad, 37-year-old Pradeep Nair’s house is a rare sight. He shares his home with over a dozen dogs, affected with various disabilities, impairments and those without limbs.
Pradeep has adopted and is sheltering these dogs, which otherwise don’t find “preference??? among those looking to find a pet. But he is an animal lover who rescues and helps animals in pain without any hesitation — be it an injured bird stuck in a manja (thread used to fly kites), a dog having fallen in a well, an injured monkey in the backyard, or a snake that has lost his way inside a neighbourhood house. In fact, he has been doing so since he was a student.
Pradeep completed his graduation in 2007 and started working as a software developer in the IT industry. However, he could not let go of his love for animals. He worked with NGOs including Blue Cross as a volunteer in his free time. The passion for rescuing and saving animals in danger only grew strong over time.

As he volunteered and was associated with different initiatives, Pradeep learned that while many people work to rescue animals in distress, only a handful of human resources, finances and equipment exist to address the issue. Moreover, rescuing animals in a life-threatening situation sometimes demands long hours and persistent efforts.
Citing an example to The Better India, Pradeep says, “On New Year’s Eve in 2018, we received a call from a local that there was a puppy stuck inside the boulders on the outskirts of the rocky mountain of the city. The local had followed the cries of the dog to the spot and called us for rescue. The operation took 48 hours. So while people were welcoming the new year, we were struggling to save a puppy. ???
This is one instance among thousands where Pradeep has gone out of his way to rescue animals. From jumping in wells to rescue buffaloes to saving porcupines and baby elephants, he has done it all and rescued over 77,000 animals to date.
An animal’s best friend
Pradeep says that such operations require finances, time and resources, which make them difficult. “Hence, I decided to focus on tactical rescuing that involves finding innovative solutions to help animals in need. In 2012, a handful of volunteers joined, and we started Animal Warriors India with a Facebook page and stepped up work,??? he adds.
Pradeep receives calls from people who spot animals in distress. “We may have to head down a 100-foot well or strategise makeshift arrangements. At times, the resources or equipment have to be procured from elsewhere,??? he explains.

Aravind, an IT professional from Hyderabad, says he met Pradeep on a similar occasion when he reported a dog in need of rescue in 2017.
