Today we are going to address a huge problem in our community that really upsets us here at DAR: Puppy
Dumping!!!
For some mislead reason here in India only male dogs are coveted as pets. These 5 little girls were abandoned a couple of days ago. Despite the popular belief that males don't need to get fixed as they can't get pregnant, we suggest ALL dogs get desexed here in India (even the males as it makes them less territorial and aggressive).
Many studies have shown that while there is no difference in the inherent intelligence between the sexes, female dogs achieve maturity faster so they are much easier to train. We have vaccinated and dewormed the five gorgeous, healthy,playful pups. We will work to find them homes, but we know it will be difficult.
Luckily though, they are quite photogenic and one of the photos taken by a volunteer was accepted into the Global Giving Photo contest! We now have the opportunity to win $1000 and also receive some publicity on the Global Giving Home page if we land in the 1 or 2 spots. Currently, we are 7th, so we are hoping that each of you could vote and share with your friends. No ICE WATER necessary : )
