RESPONSIBLE ADOPTION

Adopt a Dog

Indian community dogs, often called indies, are hardy, intelligent, and deeply loyal. We want every adoption to begin with a thoughtful match and last a lifetime.

No dogs listed yet

Our adoption programme hasn’t opened, so there are no dogs available through us right now. When it does, every listing will include the dog’s real history, health records, and temperament.

How adoption will work

  1. Meet the dog. We share an honest profile: age, health, vaccination and sterilisation status, and how they behave with people and other animals.
  2. Talk it through. A conversation about your home, routine, and household, so the match works for both of you.
  3. Prepare your home. Guidance on safe spaces, food, walks, and the first few weeks of settling in.
  4. Stay in touch. We check in after adoption and help if questions come up.

Before you adopt

  • Plan for 12 to 15 years of care, including veterinary costs.
  • Make sure everyone at home, and your landlord or housing society, agrees.
  • Think about daily walks, time alone, and who cares for the dog when you travel.
  • If you already have pets, plan a gradual introduction.
