ABSTRACT: The ever-increasing human population increases the need for area (For better living, transportation, ease to access and mobility) space, infrastructure, etc. We, humans, need good facilities and comfort Hence, we have developed our towns and cities but forget the other earthlings or god’s creatures. As per the Literature study, the count of stray animals is in crores with around 30% of new-born stray animals surviving on the street, 50% of stray animals are left to starve each day and close to 60% of stray animals face cruelty from humans. Humans are becoming greedy to fulfil their needs while exploiting nature and encroaching upon natural surroundings – land, and water, leaving little to no space for stray animals. This study will provide to understand proper treatment of rescued stray animals and homeless stray, abandoned animals will get their forever home where they will have their rightful freedom. Keywords: Treatment; Animal Abuse; Shelter; Awareness; Animal Equality; Human-Animal Interaction.
T
he process of urbanization continues deplete the biodiversity of cities and need of biodiversity in our neighborhood. Human is exploiting nature and continue to do so on. They have no idea about the damage that they done from the long period of time. As human think about human only and their foremost surrounding, but neglect a major part encircling them in their sub-conscious mind, that is the other earthlings(thoughts, nature, and animals). A few problems made by human to other animals are habitat loss, animal cruelty, factory farming, animal experiments and animal abandonment, caging and torture. These issues raised because human taking their claim over animal habitat and animals, just because we are at the top of the food chain, but human cannot take advantage over the ones beneath them. We need to think about other earthlings also not in the terms of performance and aesthetic but as life itself. This research paper aims to make people aware of the life of stray animals in the present scenario, animal abuse, and cruelty; to make people aware of their duties towards other earthlings. The objective of this paper is to study the medical facility for the stray which are rescued from accidents and deadly diseases, to develop animal-human interaction, to understand animal behaviour and space design to maintain psychological equilibrium. This project provides us wide scope to study the different animal’s behaviour, life span, treatment, and lifestyle, etc. This research is limited to the specific category of animals such as dogs and cat. As an architect we shape the world around us to increase comfort and strive sustainability for better future. Neglecting the habitat for animal makes a gap in the sustainability as the world is not purely anthropocentric. So it’s the responsibility of an architect to connect human being to other earthlings via architecture. Animals need to receive the same possibility as people to have claim over the land we stay.

This also includes emotional, physical interaction, psychological and the environment. The importance of bond between animal human already well documented in the history across culture and in recent research. However the value of attachment with companion animal is degraded in the mental
