So you think you’re ready to be mommy or daddy to a furball? Instead of going to a breeder and shelling out your savings, why not adopt a puppy in need? Not only will you doing a good deed, but you’ll also have a rather grateful buddy following you around.

Friendicoes

Friendicoes has been one of the most active bodies in rescuing pups, providing medical treatment and shelter, and placing them in good homes. They always have dogs who need adopting, right from pups off the street to older dogs who have been abandoned by their owners. It’s a little difficult to get through to them over the phone {seeing they’re busy with their good work} so we’d suggest dropping in and picking up a doggie that you connect with.

Dogspot

Dogspot.in

Dogspot.in is a destination for all things dog {and some cat}. From brushes, shampoos to chew treats, they have it all. They also have a small section on their website dedicated to adoption. You can filter your search according to breed and gender and find your very own pet online. Next step: Contacting the people who are currently taking care of him/her to organise bringing him/her home.

Red Paws Rescue

These guys are on a constant mission to rescue homeless, mistreated and abandoned pooches. Once they dogs are stable, Red Paws puts up their deets on their website for people to check out, and consider.

Jeevasharam

Jeevashram is a world of animals, from dogs, cats, rabbits, to even cows. Jeevashram is constantly rescuing and treating animals who are, obviously, in need of permanent homes. We’d suggest driving down to the shelter and at least perusing your pet choices.

Volunteer Tails Delhi

We recently came across this Facebook group when news of a month-old abandoned Labrador puppy reached us. Anyone can join {though, you’ll have to be approved}, post pictures and details of a puppy in need and help spread the message super fast. Social media FTW.

India Pet Finder

Another website featuring mostly Indies and strays that need rescuing, it’s worth taking a look at. India Pet Finder ties up with a bunch of shelters and individuals to find both foster homes and permanent homes for needy puppies, dogs and cats

Adopt a Pet

A Facebook group, Adopt a Pet has a constant inflow of photos of puppies that could be yours. Give it a little look-see, you might just fall in love with one.

#LBBTip

Select CITYWALK Saket has puppy adoption stalls every Wednesday in their outside area {near Keventer’s}. You can drop in, play with the pups, donate, and even take one home.
