About The Founder

Praveen Kumar L,

​ also called Rider Praveen is an ex-gym instructor who gave up his job, his means of livelihood, all his and his family's assets and savings to start(WSA) Welfare Trust. From paralysed, blind, old aged animals to accident cases, cruelty cases and terminally ill animals-he takes them all in, giving them happiness, food and a home in his shelter.

It started for Praveen in 2013,when he resued a kitten with a spinal injury. He nursed it at home,but it passed away after a week,leaving Praveen to wonder what he could do to help numerous animals like this,that sufer in silence.So he started by rescuing injured animals, and keeping them at home. Soon, as the number of rescues increased, he started looking for temporary shelters to house them. Eventually, the news of his rescue got around and he started attending to approximately 4-5 cases in a day were People Use to tag him in social media Like Facebook etc. He took the help of Dr. Girish from Blue Cross and Dr. Lohith frm Maruthi pet clinic and started an account in their respective clinics, so that injured animals could be attended to, without a delay due to the finances. So as the number of rescues went up, so did the bill amount in the clinics.

The word spread, and Praveen, who was initially contacted for rescues only around South Bangalore, started getting calls for help for cases in Mysore, Mandya, Chikmagalur Hosur etc. To manage things better, Praveen started a WhatsApp group With Just 6 People And started attending To this cases full-time. He had no option but to give up his job, financial help was low, but with his family standing behind him, praveen kept doing whatever he could for the animals.

What we do?

WSA provides shelter for sick, old and abandoned dogs, cats, cows and every other animal. The dogs are not chained or caged, they have enough space to walk, run, play and chase other dogs. At the shelter, it is indeed a dog's life! There are only few cages in the shelter for those that are undergoing treatment.

Testimonials

I have visited WSA shelter with my friends and family every year. No matter the time of the day or place, if he can help an animal in distress, he will do it. This shelter is a temple for many dogs who are hurt and can't be on the streets. I feel WSA shelter is not just any shelter. Unlike others where the animals are caged, here, they roam freely and happily. Praveen is doing a good job keeping them free. All the animals enjoy their freedom with good, healthy food and a clean environment. The staff is very helpful too. Praveen is doing a really good job. He is a Godfather for the animals.

I have been closely associated with WSA for about two years now and I have got to see Praveen's passion and dedication for the voiceless first hand. Today these animals are a living testimony to how unflinching care and compassion can make miracles happen and Praveen has made a lot of such miracles happen at his shelter. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction to be associated with WSA. A visit to this shelter puts a big smile on my heart, the very sight of animals who seem to be leading a "happily ever after" lives came here when they were battling for their very existence!
