About our Foundation

Love Paws Animal Welfare Foundation is a registered not-for-profit organisation based in Mumbai, dedicated to community animal welfare with a special focus on sterilisation and grassroots field coordination.

Founded by Lynette Menezes and registered in Andheri East, the foundation works primarily across Mumbai's western suburbs — practical intervention where stray dog and cat welfare is closely linked to local communities, feeders, and on-ground rescue networks.

Its work is rooted in humane population management, animal care, and local coordination that supports both animals and the people who care for them.

Effective animal welfare in a city like Mumbai requires more than rescue alone — documentation, coordination, transport support, sterilisation planning, post-operative follow-up, and trusted community presence. Love Paws focuses on field-led action so community dogs and cats receive care that is responsible, practical, and sustainable.

Why Preventative Care Works

Beyond Shelter Walls

Targeted sterilisation is the most effective long-term solution to stray overpopulation. It prevents countless litters from being born into hardship, creating healthier, more stable community animal populations without relying on endless shelter housing.

Our approach is rooted in scientific evidence and community collaboration, focusing resources where they make the greatest difference: at the source of the problem. This leads to a lasting, humane impact for urban wildlife.
