It dates back to 2016 with the sudden demise of Usain, the beloved Great Dane of our Founder (2021 – Present), Mrs. Malabica Chakraborty which resulted her into imagining the lives of those ownerless animals living by the streets having the uncertainty of at least one proper meal a day. She started feeding her colony dogs and adjacent areas, which went from 3 in number to 30 in a span of 3 weeks. The sight of animals living on the bare minimum, finding their source of food in the garbage dumps, drinking from the drain became unbearable for her. She took more animals under her care and started her journey as an individual rescuer. She started medically treating animals, initiated ABC campaigns, started vaccination drives & adopted them who were unfit to live on the streets. She started to fundraise locally and her small initiative grew by leaps and bounds and there were 140+ animals under her individual care by the end of 2019.
WTF Recovery Center was started on October 2021 with the sole motive of having all our rescued animals under one roof. As the word spread about our recovery center cum medical boarding, we started serving the dual purpose of being a recovery & rehabilitation center for sick and injured animals as well as a hospital. From carrying out medical treatment to minor surgeries, performing ABC surgeries to housing paralyzed animals, from isolated container house for contagious diseases to offering boarding facilities, our rescue center provides it all.
Not late but since our rescue center started operating, we received around 3 calls per day on an average for paralyzed cases. We realized the emerging necessity to have a section specially built for paralyzed dogs in order to provide them comfort while laying down or dragging themselves and avoid bed sores in addition to providing them with customized wheel cart and red lamp therapy as and when required.
Her infinite compassion towards animals made her adopt 12 Indies, most of them are special cases and one of them is a survivor of severe animal cruelty case. You can read his story here. She gave a chance to every single ownerless animal that have been deprived of the basic necessities of life such as freedom, liberty and were either neglected or abused. Read their rescue & success stories here.
During the Covid-19 lockdown, our feeding spots grew as we witnessed animals starving. Our feeding count surged from 250 to 450+. Despite limited supplies and a shortage of vet hospitals, we continued our efforts. This led Mrs. Malabica to collaborate with her colleague, Mrs. Mansi Rautela, and together, they founded Wagging Tales Foundation in October 2020.
