s. Kaveri now runs a home for old, abused, discarded and disabled animals in

SMART Sanctuary is a home that focuses on senior, abused animals with all kinds of disabilities. The plan is to build a forever Happy where at least 1000 battered, abused, disabled & senior voiceless animals can spend their life happily & at peace. Only you, the Guardian Angels can help us do it! We have been successfully running a rehabilitation center & home in Greater Noida for disabled, abused & abandoned animals for past many years, thanks to our benefactors & Milaap. Around 12000 plus animals have had complete recovery through rescue, surgeries, therapy, sterilizations, vaccinations, rehabilitation & treatment till now, which includes dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, calves, langurs, monkeys, donkeys, goats, horses, pigeons, parrots, hens and more. Team SMART Sanctuary with the support from local Forest Department, have also rescued and rehabilitated more than 3000 snakes and few pythons, which otherwise would have been killed by the scared natives. People ask us many times, why only disabled animals, and Kaveri says, "Disabled animals need special care, exactly like us humans. The most brutal and terminal cases are taken in by us. Dogs who have had legs chopped off by trains, dogs who have been rolled over by sp*eding cars, bikes and trucks, dogs with acute arthritis, dogs who have been advised to be put to sleep, all reside at SMART Sanctuary. These dogs can't p*e or p**p on their own for days, they need manual intervention every hour to change positions or even to move away from their own f***s and this goes on for weeks. Their limbs need to be exercised and massaged regularly so that nerve damage associated with their injuries, doesn't cause atrophy. It's a full time job and requires all our manpower and resources to keep these fragile ones healthy and into making them independent." The ongoing process of saving treating the injured ones, made us realize that abused, extremely old and permanently disabled animals need lifetime care and could not be left back in their original territory, this made us start a forever Animal Sanctuary to give permanent free shelter, a healthy and happy life for all such Special Needs voiceless souls.

Below is a draft of a -style article on Kaveri Rana, also known as the Dogmother — based on available news reports, media profiles, and social media/public mentions.

Kaveri Rana (TheDogmother)

Kaveri Rana, popularly known as the Dogmother, is an Indian animal rights activist and founder of the Sophie Memorial Animal Relief Trust (often referred to as SMART Sanctuary), based in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. She is known for her work in rescuing, rehabilitating, sheltering, and advocating for stray, abandoned, injured, and vulnerable animals — particularly dogs and other street animals — and for using social media to highlight cases of animal cruelty that spark public and legal action.

---

Early Life and Background

Kaveri Rana (also referenced in some profiles as Kaveri Rana Bhardwaj) began her journey as an animal caregiver after rescuing her first dog, Sophie, many years ago. Sophie’s death deeply affected her, prompting Rana to dedicate her life full-time to animal rescue and welfare. Shortly thereafter, she husband founded the Sophie Memorial Animal Relief Trust to continue rescue work and provide a sanctuary for animals in need in the Greater Noida region.

Social media profiles and pages describe her as a caregiver to dozens of animals, often referring to them as her “children” or “babies,” and identify her mission as coexistence between humans and animals.

---

Animal Rescue Work

Rana’s rescue work focuses on street dogs, abandoned animals, and other vulnerable animals such as cats, cows, donkeys, and occasional primates. Through the Sophia Memorial Animal Relief Trust and SMART Sanctuary, she has been involved in:

Rescuing thousands of animals and providing food, medical care, vaccination, and shelter.

Running sterilisation and vaccination drives in and around Greater Noida and nearby rural areas.

Coordinating volunteer efforts for transport, treatment, and long-term care.

Her efforts have also included outreach to abandoned animals in disaster or evacuation situations, such as reports of abandoned pets left during the Joshimath evacuations, where she assisted in locating and rescuing some of the displaced dogs.

---

Advocacy and Public Engagement

Rana often uses X (formerly Twitter) and other social platforms to highlight incidents of animal cruelty or distressing situations involving animals, frequently tagging authorities and calling for action. Several high-profile cruelty cases gained attention after she shared videos or complaints, leading to public outcry and legal registration of cases:

In November 2024, she shared a viral video showing a man assaulting a dog in Greater Noida, which prompted local police to register a case under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

In a separate case, she shared footage of a man running over a puppy with a vehicle in Bulandshahr and called for police action.

She has filed complaints or brought attention to animal cruelty incidents in residential societies and other public spaces, resulting in FIRs or investigations.

Her social media outreach also played a role in raising awareness during controversial incidents, such as the death of a rescued dog due to firecrackers at her SMART Sanctuary, which sparked discussions on animal safety during festivals.

---

Legal and Community Impact

Kaveri Rana’s activism has at times involved cooperation with authorities (such as reporting cruelty, prompting FIRs) and engagement with community members reluctant to accept animal welfare norms. While her efforts have mobilised many animal lovers and volunteers, they have also occasionally generated friction with local residents or groups opposed to her interventions in stray dog management.

---

Recognition and Media Coverage

Although not formally awarded at national levels (as far as publicly documented), Rana’s work has been covered by Indian news outlets and local media in the context of animal cruelty cases and shelter operations. Profiles of her rescue work appear in online interviews and humane-society-focused features.

Her social media presence, especially under handles promoting animal welfare, has contributed to her public recognition as the “Dogmother.”
