The Hermit Charitable Trust, Dharamsala
Humanimal
A volunteer-led platform connecting compassionate humans to rescue, feed, help, adopt, serve, and support animals in need.
About Humanimal
Humanimal.org is a volunteering platform envisaged by The Hermit Charitable Trust, Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, India. It proposes to connect citizens, NGOs, veterinary professionals, and service providers so animals in distress can be supported quickly and compassionately.
The platform enables users to report injured or distressed animals, access veterinary consultation, receive AI-assisted guidance, and engage with a community of animal caregivers. The initial focus is on street dogs, with a long-term vision to support all animals through a scalable animal welfare ecosystem.
Humanimal.org does not involve itself in any financial activity whatsoever and does not charge any commission or fee from anyone.
Compassion made easier through technology.
We connect people who want to help with animals who need help, while also acknowledging the problems humans may face around stray or abandoned animals. The aim is awareness, shared responsibility, and a compassionate, symbiotic way forward.
Veterinary access
Telemedicine and professional consultation can guide urgent care decisions.
AI-assisted support
Pet parents and helpers can receive complementary guidance before professional help.
Community action
Citizens, NGOs, doctors, vendors, and caregivers can coordinate around animal welfare.

Every action counts, whether it is hands-on care, sharing information, or connecting the right person at the right time.

Volunteer
Rescue, foster, feed, transport, or support local outreach.
Adopt or foster
Offer a safe temporary or permanent space to an animal in need.
Share knowledge
Spread articles, research, blogs, and news that improve human-animal interaction.
Veterinary professionals
Humanimal welcomes veterinary professionals to offer expertise for animals in need. The technology-driven telemedicine space supports video consultation, volunteering, and direct help-on-payment between the professional and help-seeker.
Humanimal.org does not benefit financially or otherwise from any transaction carried out between a professional, medicine vendor, service provider, and help-seeker.
Guidance, knowledge, and AI support
Humanimal includes an AI-aided space created by professional volunteers to help people find answers for common medical concerns. It is complementary to professional veterinary support, not a replacement for it.
The platform also brings together articles, blogs, research papers, news, and resources relevant to human-animal interaction, animal support, and animal rights.

Ideator: The Hermit Charitable Trust
Dharamshala, India
The Hermit Charitable Trust, Dharamsala (hermittrust.com) is a very small fledgling nunnery which focuses primarily on the spiritual growth of the inmates.
During the process of the spiritual practices the inmates voluntarily employ some time, energy and resources for giving back to the Nature & to the society by trying to conserve, protect and support the elements of Nature - especially the animals, vegetation & water - as well as by helping the local children evolve in life.
In this pursuit of the personal as well as collective growth, we understand the value of Interdependence, Symbiosis and the ideal of प्रतित्य समुत्पाद - the Dependent Origination as the pulse of every existence in the Universe. We believe, these are not merely spiritual ideals but the inevitable means for the peaceful existence and survival of life on the Planet.
Our effort through the App based platform Humanimal is a step forward to realize our ideals.
