Pilou
Animal Rescue & Care

A nonprofit organisation that sees the happiness of animals and respect for nature as a whole… as important values in society and as critical contributo to social harmony and Human happiness.

Thanks to the support of many local and international individuals, Pilou formally established in 2013 its first country programme in Bhutan, the Bhutan Animal Rescue and Care (BARC). The BARC animal rescue centre provides animal rescue, shelter and medical care mostly to injured and sick stray dogs, cats and monkeys in a safe and welcoming environment where they are cared for professionally with kindness and compassion.

Pilou’s future plans include the opening other BARC centres and a Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in the small Himalayan Kingdom, as well as animal welfare promotion programs.

Our Bhutan Program

1. Animal Rescue

The BARC is rescuing animals in need and provides sanctuary to those who have no chance to survive without our support. We have a 24/7 rescue service, pick-up animals in need and organize transport through our caring supporters. We strive to re-integrate or relocate recovered animals, but those who are handicapped or suffer from chronic diseases find a warm sanctuary at our shelter.

2. Medical Care

In our Intensive Care Unit with quarantine, our clinic with surgery and treatment rooms and our post-care facility, we provide medical treatment for wounds, infectious diseases, cancer/tumours, gastroenteritis and skin infections, as well as orthopedic surgery, prosthetics and cesareans.

3. Sterilization

To support a small and healthy stray animal population, we also conduct weekly sterilization campaigns with DHPPI-L vaccinations. Our animal care programme is building upon a network of caring citizens who bring stray dogs from their neighborhood or assist us in catching them. This makes release of sterilized dogs back into the community and follow-up care also successful. We promote Animal Happiness in support to Community Happiness!

4. Advocacy

Many people who visit us are interested to know more about animal care as well as how to genuinely practice humanitarian values and compassion in action. This often results in a lively engagement with mutual reflection and learning; and indeed an empowerment for doing ‘good’.
