Winter Care for Community Animals: How You Can Help Street Dogs Survive The Cold
As temperatures drop drastically during North Indian winters, stray puppies, injured dogs, and older community animals face hypothermia and severe respiratory ailments. Unlike humans, they have no cozy beds or heaters to turn to.

Here are 4 simple ways every neighborhood resident can protect community animals this winter:

1. **Provide Dry Insulation & Gunny Sacks**: Old jute bags, cardboard cartons, and tarpaulins placed under staircases or porch corners offer life-saving protection against freezing ground frost.
2. **Nutritious Warm Food**: Digestion generates body heat. Feeding street dogs warm rice broth with boiled eggs or high-protein khichdi gives them the energy needed to survive chilly nights.
3. **Reflective Safety Collars**: Low visibility and dense winter fog cause fatal road accidents. Our team distributes reflective collars that reflect vehicle headlights from 150 meters away.
4. **Report Sick Animals Promptly**: If you see a shivering puppy or an animal unable to stand, contact the We Can Foundation animal rescue hotline immediately.
