Karuna Animal Shelter is a remarkable institution with a rich legacy of 120 years of animal care. Located in the heart of the community, it has earned a reputation for its unwavering commitment to the well-being of over 400 animals, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, and goats. This extraordinary shelter, led by Dr. Dhanunjaya Reddy who continues to dedicate himself even after 12 years of retirement, operates with a staff of over 15 people, all working tirelessly to provide food, medical care, and shelter to animals in need. Despite the substantial monthly expenses, which peak at around 10-12 lakhs, Karuna Animal Shelter ensures that every penny goes toward maintaining the highest standards of care. The shelter's ability to run smoothly, despite the financial challenges, is a testament to the dedication of Dr. Reddy and his team. Their selfless efforts contribute significantly to the welfare of countless animals who might otherwise have been left abandoned or in distress. The shelter is more than just an animal rescue facility—it’s a sanctuary where compassion and empathy meet. The team’s devotion to their work is evident in every aspect of the shelter’s operations, and they continue to inspire others in the animal care community. Karuna Animal Shelter’s enduring success over more than a century speaks volumes about its mission and the incredible individuals behind it. It’s a beacon of hope for both animals and those who care for them, and the work done here is truly commendable.

The place is really nice and well maintained, all the dogs, cats, birds etc are clean and well maintained, all of them are well behaved. The person showing us around was also calm, listened to what we said and answered every question which was given to her. In the end it was very nice to see my first animal shelter, which was also the first ever animal shelter in India.

With capacity of non gov funded org, Karuna Animal Shelter has made very good attempt in maintaining the place. The staff were very good in answering all our queries. They were kind enough to take us to the tour and explaining the stuff out there. Donations from anyone is welcomed here. Adoption too helps in these animals long way. Overall appreciate the work these guys have put in for these noble animals rescuing n providing the shelter.

One of the worst dog shelter Never ever leave any animals there.. you won't see the animals if you go there within a week also. They will collect the money from us. And will say you will not get to see the animal again. It's totally fishy. It's better to leave the animals on roads then to leave them in karuna, it's like a punishment for animals, as I think they will kill the animals..Please please don't trust them. It's not a good place

Went to leave a stray kitten 2 wks ago to Karuna animal shelter as I was impressed by the reviews. It is a good shelter for rescued cats and dogs.I was hesitant to leave my stray cat in shelter but Ms Bhagya was very helpful and listened to me patiently and answered all my questions. As I was satisfied with the place, I left the stray there.Anybody who wants to adopt a cat please do so from Karuna.If you want you can donate some money also.

Formerly SPCA. The infrastructure has scaled up tremendously from what I had seen few years ago. Painful to see how heartless owners of pets leave them in these adoption centers and it is alarming to see so many of them. Such sadness in their eyes. My request is dont take up such responsibilities if you can't fulfill be whatever the reason can be. They are not just animals they were part of a family atleast that is what would feel. Hope they get adopted and find a place from these cages. Karuna as such has done well for themselves. Great and approachable staff, few volunteers and since it is in the same campus as Veterinary campus, so they will have first hand information for animal care and treatment. Overall a mixed emotion at this place. I wish people could shift their outing and weekend getaways, atleast few hours to these places. If not anything we can give them a feeling that there are some souls around who are here to care unbiased.
