About ART, Pune<\/h1>

ART was founded by Farokh Irani and Vineeta Tandon, primarily to offer free, permanent housing for rescued and severely injured animals, initially with the set up of a retirement home for dogs\u00a0 that had no chance of adoption. ART then progressed into offering top-notch medical facilities for street animals at supremely affordable costs. Today, Animal Rescue Trust, Pune offers a raft of services to care for animals, reduce human-animal conflict, and educate and champion this cause legally and socially.\u00a0<\/p>\n
