How TOLFA Is Rescuing Animals in the Heart of Crisis

Floods in Rajasthan

Severe flooding has hit TOLFA, an animal rescue organisation based in rural Rajasthan, India. As the rain poured and water levels surged, staff carried paralysed dogs through rising floodwaters. They worked around the clock to move every animal to safety, without hesitation and without thought for themselves.

This is what animal rescue looks like. Not just in the quiet moments but in the heart of chaos.

A Global Pattern

TOLFA is not alone. Across the world, shelters are experiencing the growing and devastating impact of climate change.

In recent months:

• A tornado tore through War Paws in Iraq
  
  
• Wildfires came dangerously close to Pawpers in the Ruff in Macedonia
  
  
• Floods, storms, and unbearable heat have disrupted rescue work everywhere
  
  

These are no longer isolated incidents. This is the new reality.

No Emergency Response Teams. Just Rescuers

There are no official evacuation teams for street dogs. No government relief funds for donkeys, injured cats, or abandoned puppies.

When nature becomes violent, it is the rescuers who step in. Often with nothing more than grit, tarpaulin, and love.

Standing Strong at TOLFA

Through it all, the team at TOLFA has continued to respond to every cry for help. Their commitment never wavers. Even when the conditions are dangerous, even when their own resources are stretched, they continue to be there.

They do not ask for much. But right now, they need support.

The Power of One in Action

At Power of One, we believe real change happens when people act with compassion, even in the most difficult circumstances. TOLFA has shown up again and again for animals who have nowhere else to turn.
