Animal care still a distant dream

In a city where the number of homeless people is fast rising and humans have a hard time procuring the basic necessities of life, a facility that caters to the needs of animals appears to be a distant dream. And yet an animal shelter has been taking care of animals for the last 29 years. Spread over four acres in a somewhat deserted place near the Toll Plaza, Bilquees Edhi Animal Shelter is currently home to around 75 animals including 36 cats, 6 kittens, 18 dogs, 13 puppies and 5 donkeys.
