Urgent Appeal | Help Injured Cows to survive harsh winter, Donate a Warm Blanket

Donate Blanket To Animal Shelter

The temperature is dropping steadily, and the winter months are becoming tougher for injured, abandoned, and old cows who are already struggling for survival. At Doon Animal Welfare, the situation is becoming increasingly urgent. Many rescued cows arrive with deep wounds, infections, weakness, or disabilities. Their fragile bodies cannot tolerate freezing winds, cold floors, and low temperatures. A simple warm blanket can protect them and even save their lives.

This is an earnest request — an appeal for compassion to help the animals who depend on us the most during winter.

1. Why Winter is Extremely Hard for Injured and Old Cows

Cows who are sick, weak, or recovering from accidents face severe discomfort during winter.
Here’s why:

Weak immunity

Injured cows already struggle with poor immunity. Cold winds make them prone to pneumonia, fever, and respiratory problems.

Slow healing

Low temperatures slow down recovery from wounds and fractures, delaying their healing process.

Cold floors cause discomfort

The ground becomes extremely cold at night. Without proper bedding or blankets, old and paralyzed cows experience stiffness and pain.

Baby calves are at highest risk

Rescued newborn calves, especially those who lost their mothers, cannot bear winter chills. Without warmth, they quickly fall sick and their survival becomes challenging.

A warm blanket acts like protection, comfort, medicine, and hope—everything at once.

2. Saving Lives Every Day

Doon Animal Welfare rescues 1–2 severely injured cows every day from accident sites, cruelty cases, and life-threatening conditions. Over the years, the organization has helped thousands of cows in Dehradun by providing medical care, food, and shelter.

But winter is the hardest season of all.

The shelter currently has many:

• Paralyzed cows
• Accident survivors
• Old and blind cows
• Newborn calves
• Cows recovering from surgeries
• Cows rescued from slaughter routes

These gentle beings need constant warmth, especially during early mornings and late nights when the temperature drops sharply.

Each blanket you donate becomes a shield against harsh winter weather.

3. How Your Blanket Donation Will Help

Your blanket donation directly supports the safety and comfort of rescued cows.

Helps an injured cow stay warm

Warmth reduces pain, enhances comfort, and promotes faster recovery.

Prevents winter-related diseases

Blankets protect cows from pneumonia, fever, and breathing issues.

Supports older cows

A warm blanket helps old cows sleep comfortably and reduces joint stiffness.

Saves calves

Calves need maximum warmth. A blanket can make the difference between life and death for them.

Reduces medical expenses

Warm, comfortable cows fall sick less often, reducing the shelter’s overall medical costs.

4. A Small Act of Kindness Creates a Big Impact

Even a single blanket creates a world of difference.

At Doon Animal Welfare:

• A paralyzed cow gets comfort
• An old cow rests peacefully
• A wounded cow heals faster
• A newborn calf survives the cold night

One small act can change the life of a helpless animal.
