Board guidelines

A short list so help stays clear, kind, and local.

Be specific

Say where the animal or need is (area + landmark), what kind of help is useful, and how urgent it feels. Clear posts get faster answers.

Be kind

Write as if you’re talking to a neighbor on your street. No shaming, no pile-ons, no rough language directed at people.

Stay local

Poppins is built for Vadodara. Prefer posts that someone nearby can act on today or this week.

Safety first

  • Don’t put yourself in danger to take a photo or approach an animal.
  • For life-threatening emergencies, call local emergency / veterinary help first.
  • Share contact numbers only if you’re comfortable receiving calls.

Photos

Photos help a lot. Share what’s needed to understand the situation — avoid graphic images when a gentler frame still explains the need.
