The youngest is about 11 days old with a horrible wound on his back and the oldest is about 5 months. All of them are in need of care, medication, rest and good nutrition. They have been brought to the right place. At Deonar, our Vets and Assistants tend to injuries, monitor progress and are happy when any patient is ready for release. This is where the problem occurs. If the pup has recovered, he/she should be out of the Centre and back to the his locality without delay, as there is much learning to do for a young fit pup. Another danger is that the pup might pick up some other infection - this is quite likely as there are hundreds of dogs housed together in one area. People tend to take very long to collect the pup and take it back to its area. This is where our IDA supporters have stepped up and intervened. Now a very obliging couple, Priya and Raju, pick up the pups that are RFR and actually deliver them to the person who brought them in, so that they can be supervised and released. This has really helped as before the pups used to be left for weeks on end, unnecessarily, at great risk to their health and at great expense to us. This exercise has turned out to be a great success. Many pups, healed and cured at our Centre are now back in their own localities, doing quite well. Their next visit will be for the sterilisation operation when they are at the correct age to go through it.
