Snake Rescue Operations

Expertise in Humane and Safe Snake Rescue

Takshak’s core strengths is snake rescue, an area in which the team has developed extensive experience and expertise. Over the past five years, Takshak has successfully rescued more than 1,000 snakes from residential societies, homes, construction sites, farms, and public spaces in Pune and surrounding areas.

Wild Bird Rescue and Care

Compassionate Response to Injured and Displaced Birds

Takshak also undertakes the rescue of birds that are injured, fallen from nests, trapped in nets, wires, or buildings, or displaced due to urban disturbances. The team has rescued and assisted a wide range of bird species, including owls, sparrows, parrots, koels (koyal), sunbirds, kites, and peacocks. Each bird rescue is handled with care to minimize stress, followed by assessment to determine whether the bird can be safely released or requires medical attention.

Wild Mammal Rescue Operations

Safe, Humane, and Conflict-Free Rescue of Wild Mammals

In addition, Takshak responds to rescue calls involving wild mammals that accidentally enter human habitats. This includes animals trapped in houses, gardens, housing societies, or construction areas. Over the years, the team has rescued mammals such as monkeys, bats, and civet cats, ensuring safe capture and conflict-free resolution while prioritizing animal welfare and public safety.

Our Recent Rescues

Takshak strictly follows ethical and legal rescue protocols. Healthy wildlife and birds are released back into their safe and suitable natural habitats at the earliest opportunity. Animals that require medical treatment or specialized rehabilitation are surrendered to ResQ Charitable Trust, Pune, an authorized wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization. Takshak does not keep wildlife in captivity and limits its role strictly to rescue, immediate safety, and lawful handover or release. Through consistent on-ground presence, trained personnel, and a strong ethical framework, Takshak aims to reduce human–wildlife conflict while promoting coexistence, awareness, and compassion for urban wildlife.

Takshak Animal Welfare Foundation (TAWF), founded in 2024 in Pirangut, rescues and rehabilitates both wildlife and domestic animals across Pune, providing urgent medical care and compassionate support. With a holistic approach, TAWF treats every animal with dignity, ensuring no cry for help goes unheard.
