They have taken up periodic campaigns for creating awareness regarding animal welfare and rights. They also conduct awareness programmes at various platforms on a regular basis. PFA Sirohi also conducts training sessions for various people including the police, veterinarians, and government employees. They rescue more than 800 injured, sick, and suffering animals—both large and small—every year. One of the major roles of PFA Sirohi is to rescue and treat sick and injured animals from around Sirohi, Jalore, Pali, and Udaipur district. They have two ambulances for smaller animals and an ambulance with a hydraulic ramp for large animals such as Cows, Dogs, camels, horses and donkeys. Rescues can involve dogs hit by a vehicle, sick abandoned horses, cattle with stomach full of plastic and other wastes, electrocuted monkey, or birds injured by a ‘Manjha’. Sometimes their teams have to rescue animals from wells, culverts, towers, and similar places.
