HAS aims at rescuing abandoned and injured animals from the roads and streets of Coimbatore. For this purpose HAS owns a minidor, which carry animals. The injured animals would be given necessary medical treatment by a qualified veterinarian.

There are millions of stray and homeless animals in India today. HAS does what is practically possible to control these numbers in a humane way for e.g. by adopting procedures such as Animal Birth Control. But due to financial and infrastructural limitations, it is practically not possible for HAS to individually provide shelter for all these animals. If each one of us were to adopt one stray/homeless animal, the number of those without shelter would become negligible.
