Who We Are
At Jaandar, we are more than an animal welfare organization. We are a movement addressing the deeper issues behind neglect and cruelty toward animals. While rescuing and rehabilitating animals is central to our work, our mission is to tackle the systemic factors that lead to their invisibility and suffering. We believe that fostering empathy, promoting coexistence, and addressing root causes are key to building a compassionate and humane society for all living beings.
Why It Matters
Because animals feel just like us.

Letter From The Founder
Haya Haq
Some people believe they can change the world. I am one of them.
Over time, I found my purpose in animal rights, not because I like animals, but because they endure violations unlike anything humans face.
To help them, I have spent two years observing them closely on the streets, understanding their lives. Animals do not need shelters. They need their home, the streets, to be safe and healthy. Yet, in Pakistan, dog culling is common.
Has this improved the country?
We frame this issue as human versus animal, but it is actually superior versus inferior. Animals are deemed inferior, yet their treatment shapes society. Studies reveal a disturbing link. Abuse of animals often precedes abuse of humans.
When we justify violence against animals, we normalize violence against marginalized groups, creating a society filled with abuse, crime and terror.
This country does not need more construction. It needs compassion to address the root causes of its problems.
Patriotism is not blind praise. It is about identifying flaws and working to fix them.
I love my country and my desi strays, and I believe when Pakistan stops viewing them as inferior, true change will begin.
Vision
A world where animals are safe, respected, and live without fear or suffering.
Mission
To rescue, rehabilitate, and protect street animals through food, medical care, TNVR, and advocacy. We fight against culling and promote humane population control while raising awareness and educating communities.
