Nepal has two million stray animals and almost no system to care for them. Pawseen is the network that connects the traveller who sees, the volunteer who goes, the vet who treats, and the donor who gives.

One night · एक राती

How Pawseen works,
told as one rescue.

11:47 pm·Thamelठमेल

You see her limping.

A brown dog, thin, bleeding on her flank. You don't speak Nepali. You don't know any vets. It's almost midnight. In any other city, this is where the story ends.

11:48 pm·Pawseenपउसिन

One tap.

Open Pawseen. Tap Report. Your GPS locks. You take one photo. You tag severity. Thirty seconds, done. If you had no data signal, you'd have texted DOG to 1234 and it still would have worked.

11:48 pm·AI triage

Severity: Urgent.

A Claude-powered triage reads the photo and your note. It flags the case as Urgent. It finds the nearest open-hours vet, 1.2 km away. It pings the three closest trained volunteers.

12:01 am·Boudhaबौद्ध

Pratima accepts.

Pratima is a trained volunteer who lives 800m away. She sees the ping, accepts, and is on her scooter in four minutes. You get her name and ETA. You stay with the dog.

1:14 am·KAT Centreकेएटी

Moti is safe.

Together you get her into a carrier and to KAT Centre. She's stable. The wound is cleaned and stitched. You'll get a photo update tomorrow morning, and every week after that, for as long as she's in care.

The gap we're closing · खाली ठाउँ

Nepal already cares.
We're building what caring needs next.

Every day, thousands of Nepalis share videos of injured and lost animals in Facebook groups. It's beautiful. It's the reason this country is ready for a platform like Pawseen. But caring and coordinating are different problems, and a dog in pain can't wait for comments to turn into action.

A note to the Facebook groups

“We wouldn't exist without you. Every report you've ever posted, every midnight comment, every time you cared enough to film a dog nobody else saw. That culture is the foundation. Pawseen just gives it infrastructure.”

A rescue is a network,
not a hero.

Seven kinds of people and one kind of dog carry the weight of one night. Pawseen is what makes them act together.

Where your money goes · पारदर्शिता

Your donation doesn't stay with us.
It goes straight to a shelter.

Pawseen is a technology platform, not a charity. We never hold donor funds. When you sponsor a dog, your money is processed directly to one of the five verified partner shelters below. You choose which one.

Pawseen Pvt. Ltd. does not handle donations directly. All funds are processed by verified partner shelters. We charge a small tech fee to partner shelters for platform access, paid by them, not by you.

Public health · जन स्वास्थ्य

A dog's welfare is a
human health problem.

Rabies kills roughly 100 Nepalis every year. Seventy percent of those deaths are preventable through routine dog vaccination. Pawseen gives municipalities, NGOs, and health authorities the ward-level data they've been missing, alongside the shelters doing the vaccination work.

I reported a dog in Thamel at 2am. A volunteer was there in 14 minutes. I still get updates every week. I've never used an app that felt this real.

The offline shelter dashboard means we can keep working through load-shedding. That alone would be enough. The adoption pipeline doubled our placements.

From the founder · संस्थापक

I built Pawseen because of Coco.

Last summer I took him from Kathmandu to Bandipur, then on to Chitwan. I thought we'd make memories together. On the way back, somewhere between Chitwan and home, the heat caught up with him. He stopped drinking. He stopped eating. His breathing turned shallow and frightened.

I searched for a vet at every stop along the highway. There was none. Not one. For six hours I drove, crying, while Coco stayed quieter than he had any right to be. Brave, impossible Coco.

We made it to Happy Pets in Kathmandu after midnight. The doctor stayed with him all night. Coco lived. Many dogs on that highway would not have.

Two million strays in Nepal have no highway vet, no Happy Pets, no one crying for them in a car. Pawseen is the system I wish had existed that night. We are building it now, in Nepal, for Nepal.

Questions · प्रश्न

The honest answers.

No. Pawseen is a tech platform, not a charity. When you sponsor a dog, the money is processed directly to one of our verified partner shelters (KAT Centre, Animal Nepal, Snehi, Sneha's Care, or HART Nepal). Pawseen never holds or controls the funds. This keeps us legally clean, keeps shelters in charge of their own operations, and keeps donors fully transparent about where their money ends up.
