The Brooke Hospital for Animals is an international animal welfare organization whose motto is ‘healthy working animals for the world’s poorest communities”. The Brooke was established in Pakistan in 1991, and has centers in Lahore, Multan, Peshawar, Gujranwala and Mardan. After the earthquake struck the northern areas of the country, they organized donkey trains to carry relief goods to people in inaccesssable areas, as well as treated thousands of injured animals.
From The Brooke:
Over 34,000 animals saved by Brooke
26 January 2006Since the devastating earthquake struck in north west Pakistan last October, the Brooke’s dedicated veterinary teams have been working tirelessly in the area treating tens of thousands of animals, and helping countless vulnerable people keep their animals alive throughout the bitter winter months.
The Brooke has four mobile veterinary crews based in the worst hit areas of Balakot and Muzzafarabad, where it treated over 34,000 animals in the aftermath of the quake for a range of problems, including lameness and multiple injuries caused by falling rubble and landslides, and hypothermia from lack of shelter.
Together with the Humane Society International (HSI), the Brooke has built over 300 winter-proof shelters for poor communities living high up in the mountains. In addition, the charities distributed hundreds of free sacks of concentrated animal feed, and carried out a comprehensive vaccination programme against potentially fatal diseases for over 13,000 livestock.
One of the bravest relief efforts organised by the Brooke was a 40-strong ‘donkey train’ to deliver medical supplies, blankets and food along a treacherous mountainous route up to 8,000 feet. During the 13-day operation, 50,000 kg of supplies was delivered to desperately needy people. And help was not restricted to the animals – in the immediate aftermath of the quake the vets treated thousands of people where no other medical help was available.

I wish there are cat treatments in that hospital. I haven’t seen many. The ones I’ve seen only insert the syringe if the animal is sick. My cat has flu and all I’m getting here in this town(not karachi) are human medicines. I read on net that human medicines could be toxic for cats

Sirs,
I live in Gulberg, Lahore with my family - I am English but my husband is Pakistani. I have supported the Brooke with contributions and was so relieved to find an organisation that helped horses and donkeys. However, when I had cause to call out the Brooke to a badly injured and abandoned donkey, the response was that the person was in bed asleep (at 9pm in the evening) and could not come. I was devastated.
ALso, recently after complaining to a policeman about a man abusing his donkey, the donkey was conviscated -but I dont know where it was taken. I understand that there is a law that provides for abused animals to be taken from their owners but what happens to these animals? I think it is rare for this law to be implemented.
When we come across abuse we try and reason with the person, reminding him that it is haram to abuse animals, shaming him in public, and also that the animal is his bread and butter and if abused it will die and then another will have to be purchased - but I understand that the carts are more expensive than the donkey.
For our part we try and look after injured and abandoned cats, and puppies - we have 30 cats at the moment that we feed and care for. OK we have to use baby medicine, and local vets that we trust - but it is a heartbreaking occupation, and the animal sanctuary we hoped for has turned into an animal cemetary.
We just keep carrying on hoping that at least we can relieve some suffering.
