Mother and Pups at Deonar


This young mother and her three charming pups had to be brought to the Centre as she was very protective and therefore aggressive towards anyone approaching the pups. Mumbai is one crowded city and this is the price these type of moms have to pay for trying to look after their little ones. She will be incarcerated for about two months. she cannot be sterilised before that - that is the age when the pups are weaned. Two or three months is a long time and if the pups are also forced to stay in the Centre, that is, if they cannot be adopted or at least fostered, they are in danger or getting sick or worse. The unfortunate mother will be taken back to her old location after months and this for her will be very difficult and traumatic as she has to adjust and get on with the dogs from that locality. That's why we keep urging people and the public to contact us if any dogs remain unoperated. Sterilisation is mandatory for all strays and with good reason. Please help us prevent this happening again and again. Mother and pups are brought in, the happy little infants play and enjoy their little lives until the inevitable happens (the ABC Centre, in fact any large Shelter is the worst place for the very young). After months the mother has to go out alone into a hostile world. We really need help from the public to prevent all this needless suffering.

  1. I dont know what to say here. But yes we all need to be atleast a little bit responsible for them in a good sense :)

  2. this city is becoming more and more dangerous for animals. You don't know how many puppy and kitten accident cases we keep on receiving at our Centre. Just now I am taking care of a 2 week old male pup with a horrible wound on his entire back. There is no safe place in Mumbai for stray animals, especially babies, they have to live on the roads!
