The First Animal Welfare Project
of Its Kind in Pakistan

The Benji Project

Providing Support to Animals,
Shelters and the Rescuers.

Making History for Animals

The CDRS Benji Project for Animal Welfare & Rescue supports struggling shelters and rescuers in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Charsadda, Abbottabad, and Wah, as well as deploying our own CDRS YOUTH Chapters for animal welfare and rescue as well as public awareness and education campaigns in support of animals.

The Benji Project is making history by deploying Pakistan's first national fleet of animal rescue vehicles and opening Pakistan's very first facility dedicated to trap, neuter, vaccinate and release programs (TNVR), and have begun collaborating with concerned citizens and officials at all levels of government to implement TNVR programs.

We are also planning to build a world class animal welfare institute with a world-class animal sanctuary and veterinary facility for dogs, cats, donkeys, and horses, a world-class veterinary medical facility. Let your animal-loving friends all around the world know that we need their help to make this beautiful vision a reality.
