Panda fundraising

Laal, affectionately named Panda by the PAWS shelter staff, was picked up from Madhyamgram Bidhanpally area on 3-Nov-2022. Panda has a very bad case of cancer spread across his testicles and penis area, resulting in huge swelling and infections. After doing a blood test, we also found that he is infected with Babesia (small form), a potentially life threatening blood parasite infecting dogs. Since being admitted to the PAWS shelter over 2 months back, Panda has been given 5 doses of chemotherapy, and has also been receiving treatment for babesia small form. Total cost of treatment for Panda has already crossed Rs 9000, and his mentor, being a small time business man, could stretch his means to only cover appx half of that amount. Please donate to save Panda's life so that we can cover the cost to fully cure his cancer and babesia, and then release him as a fit dog to his mentor. Expense : Rs 9000 till 3-January-2023 Donors (only first name given to protect privacy) : Monojit (mento
