Sally Varma, Program Manager, Street Dog Welfare at Humane Society International
Sally varma is an entrepreneur with a difference. Her passion and love for animals made her pursue a career in “catching dogs” to journalism. Yes it is true. She catches dogs, sterilizes them and then releases them back to the streets. Sally says it may sound simple but is actually an arduous task as most dogs would be in bad condition prolonging the treatment time.
However Sally is no way deterred by the challenges which was evident during the recent kerala floods. Her zest and zeal towards executing her passion saved many animals from being washed away.
For her efforts she has been bestowed the honorary welfare officer certificate from the Animal Welfare Board and indian President’s medal for being one among 100 selected women who render exemplary service to the country.
