🐾Tails of Hope — Episode 4 Part 1
Guest: Sarang Rajwade | Founder |President,SAWO (Stray Animal Welfare Organization)
In Episode 4 Part 1 of Tails of Hope,we bring you the remarkable journey of Sarang Rajwade, a cancer survivor, street animal warrior, and the passionate force behind SAWO — Stray Animal Welfare Organization, based in Talegaon, Pune.
Sarang shares not just the story of founding SAWO, but also the ground realities of animal rescue and recovery inIndia. With unshakeable commitment and limited resources, he and his team have responded to countless emergency calls — from accident victims to abandoned pets — navigating each case with urgency, empathy, and a warrior’s spirit. His hands-on involvement in rescue missions and unwavering belief in second chances sets him apart.
In this heartfelt conversation, Sarang walks us through the behind-the-scenes struggles of rescuing injured strays,the challenges of treating life-threatening conditions like Canine Distemper and Rabies, and the sheer emotional weight of critical cases. His belief in quality medical care for street animals — including chemotherapy when needed —is deeply inspiring. He emphasizes the need for ABC (Animal Birth Control) surgeries as a long-term solution, fighting misconceptions and red tape with facts and compassion.
What stands out most is his personal sacrifice. Sarang has used his own funds to provide veterinary care,emergency surgeries, and rehabilitation for countless animals. With no steady donor base and limited public awareness, SAWO has managed to do theunimaginable — but the need is growing, and so is the hope.
He also speaks about the lack of awareness, the implementation hurdles in India’s animal protection ecosystem, and how the public can be better allies in the rescue process. His message is clear: it’s not just about saving animals — it’s about building a morecompassionate society.
🧡If you’ve ever wished to do something for street animals but didn’t know how — supporting SAWO is a powerful first step.
