Directory · South Asia
Animal rescue work in South Asia is dominated by two needs: street dog population management through CNVR, and veterinary care for working equines. WARN funds partner-led programmes in the region, and WECare Worldwide runs CNVR and outreach clinics in Sri Lanka.
How this list was assembled
Drawn from WARN's funded country programmes in the region plus verified independent organisations working in South Asia. WARN's own programmes are marked as core partners — we fund them, so we are not a neutral party on those entries and say so here rather than leaving you to notice.
Our own interest: WARN funds the programmes marked “WARN-funded programme” below. We are not an impartial judge of those, and this page is not a ranking.
South Asia concentrates two animal welfare problems at a scale found almost nowhere else: very large free-roaming dog populations, and tens of millions of working horses, donkeys and mules whose owners depend on them entirely.
Both are tractable, and neither is solved by rehoming. Dog populations respond to sustained CNVR. Working equines respond to accessible veterinary care, better harness and owner education — interventions that keep the animal sound and the family earning at the same time.
The listings below cover WARN's own funded programmes in the region alongside independent organisations working there.

Listing is not endorsement. WARN has no relationship with the independent organisations above, funds none of them, does not inspect them and receives nothing for listing them. They are here because someone asking this question needs real names, and WARN is not the only answer to it.
