About Us
The 'Elsa Foundation' (EF) is an animal welfare foundation based in Delhi, that works for the care of Elderly, Lost, Sick and Abandoned dogs. It is the dream project of Dr S J Gupta and has finally taken shape with the love and support of his family and well wishers. Named after his late family member, 'Elsa', who was a most loving and gentle golden retriever, the Foundation is driven by compassion and love for animals shared by all family members.
The primary objective of Elsa Foundation is to provide for the care of stray animals, particularly the elderly, abandoned or lost and ailing dogs, who might otherwise not receive appropriate care and affection. We endeavour to fulfil this aim by partnering with other organizations that are working towards animal welfare like veterinary hospitals and shelter homes.
We do not have any facilities for on site treatment of or rescue of acutely injured or ill animals.
THE 'FOUNDING FAMILY'
The Gupta Family shares a deep Love for dogs and in fact, all animals. Over the years, the family has had a number pets- 'Pegu', a handsome GSD-Golden Retriever mix; 'Tiny' and then 'Fluffy', two loving Pomeranians, 'Elsa' the namesake of the Foundation and presently, 'Dexter' and his son 'Dennis', two handsome male Goldens. In addition there are 5 'street dogs' who have 'adopted' the family! The joy of the love and companionship of these pets tinged with the sadness at their eventual departure from this world, has sown the seeds of animal care and welfare which has now taken the shape of the 'Elsa Foundation'.
