Basanti, golden retriever cross(special needs)

I got this mail a few days ago. Basanti is a fighter and is healthy now despite an initial diagnosis of paralysis. She has done what she could and now we have to help her find a home. She has a limp, but is still gorgeous beyond words.

It is heartbreaking from housepets are abandoned or get lost in the concrete jungle amidst traffic without any survival skills.

I am pasting the email from Nutan. Please check the photographs from the picasa link.


Dear ADOPT-A-STRAY blog owners,

We are looking for a home for an abandaoned pet. We will really appreciate it if you could post the following entry on your blog.

We would like to introduce Basanti, whom we met about one and a half months back. She is a golden retriever cross. We think she was a pet who was abandoned on a road close to where we live. She completely lacked outdoor survival skills, as a result of which she had a severe accident, and one of her hind legs was badly damaged. When we found her she was in a really bad shape and was in extreme pain. The intial diagnosis of a doctor was that she had a paralysis and wouldnt ever be able to walk or even support herself on her legs. We later managed to transfer her to a vet hospital and she is being treated ever since. Her condition has improved remarkably and she even manages to walk (though with a limp) on her own now. She is very friendly and comfortable with people around her. Unfortunately, we are a group of students who live in a hostel and are not allowed to keep dogs inside the campus. We can't keep her in the hospital indefinitely and all the shelters we have looked at were in pretty bad condition for a partly handicap and a pet dog to survive. Being brought up as a pet, she cannot survive on the road and really needs a home. We are ready to transfer her any where in India by flight. Our email id is oranjok@gmail.com


Here are some of her photos:

Thanks.

Nutan.

One 3 week old Fluffy available!

Fluffy is a three week old girl pup. She will be needing her vaccinations and will have to be spayed, but she is too young for that now.



She needs a home soon and we cant leave her at a shelter. She is a 'crossbreed', but I dont know the details. Varun or Sapna should be able to throw some light over that matter. She is too young.

Mathri's Update

Hello guys,

We are back with an update. Mathri is doing well these days. She is on medications both homeopathic and allopathic and it seems to be working well for her. Though we still are awaiting her blood and culture tests to determine her level of infections and the actual medications.

On her leg front, amputation is ruled out as of now because she may not be able to support her weight on 1 leg only. So we are just looking at curing the infection so that she may support herself on the affected leg whenever she feels like which she is already doing :).

On the personal front, she walks me daily morning afternoon and evenings. I have to be reprimanded daily for 10 minutes after i come back from office. She is happy and already did some damage to my chappals ;-)

She has accepted us as her family :)...

More coming soon

Home for a brave Girl

This young girl needs a home where she would be loved and taken care of. Do you think you will be able to give this girl your love?

She has been abandoned at the Vet Hospital for a couple of months now. She was treated for her injured hind leg and she is doing fine now.Unfortunatley her owner does not want her back. He claims that this was not his dog in the first place!The hospital cannot keep her any longer. She is young, intelligent, friendly, and likes to play with other dogs.Can you please help her?

Benji... handsome boy at eight months!

woohoo!! here's an office trained boy! it seems like he is a 'jack russell terrier mix'. he was found with a collar and is probably someone's dog, but so far the owner hasnt been traced. he has gotten his shots and is absolutely adorable. now..who feels lucky enough to take him home?



and of course, he has a story..a short one..but here goes..

george paul who contacted us said:

"About 1 month back, my friend was leaving for home around 10 PM, when this dog ( with a red collar) looked her right in the eye and kept following her. He seemed disoriented and confused; So instead of going home my friend came back to the office with him. At first he was scared of everything, but after a day or two he became comfortable.

He has been here for one month, its really hard for an an office to house a dog.
He is all alone most of the time.

[..]

His shots are all done..
Its really really urgent, he is used to a house environment and learns fast.

He is around 8 months old. He is pretty small and is probably a Jack Russel Terrier mix as he looks very similar to one."

URGENT!!! Mumbai pups need homes NOW!

Rajashree was able to find space for the pups in the kennel until END OF APRIL.

if they dont find homes by end of April, they will end up in a shelter.



Shelter environment is not ideal for any animal..esp not pups. shelter infection, kennel stress and a multitude of problems. they cannot be turned out to the streets as they have never lived outside a home.

PLEASE USE ALL YOUR RESOURCES AND NETWORKS TO FIND HOMES FOR THESE PUPS IN MUMBAI.

If someone is willing to take them outside mumbai, we'll see what we can do to transport them. These pups are still young and shelters will destroy them.

Mumbai pups need help NOW!

Remember cleo and max from this post?

one of them is dead.



rest in peace, caesar. i am so sorry.

and the rest are going to be turned out on the streets. and someone else says that they will be put to sleep because they are better off dead than left to survive on the streets.

to be honest, i dont know what's going on here. all i know is that the pups need a home. NOW.

this is EXACTLY why we should responsibly spay and neuter all animals. there are way too many animals left to die because there are too many of them and not enough humans to take care of them.

regardless, the urgent matter at hand right now is to find homes for these pups. if you are from mumbai(or anywhere else), please spread the word.

leave a comment or send mail to adoptstrays at gmail dot com if you would like to adopt one of these pups or if you need more info.

p.s. pictures from charu's orkut album here. these pups deserve a chance at life.

Puppies need good homes in Kolkata!

Hi,

I feed a number of stray dogs in our locality and have four cats in my house. My neighbours have recently started venting their ire on me and the dogs (sending anonymous letters, verbally abusing me and ultimately throwing out the six blind puppies from a safe shelter onto the main thoroughfare). I need at least four of the six puppies born to Elvis-Pelvis (the mother) adopted, preferably in pairs (as i cannot afford to feed so many dogs once they grow older) They are just a month old now and have started on solids. There are three girls and three boys. Please help. I am attaching some photos.
