In The Blind Dog Enclosure


This is a particularly heart-warming group of animals. Most of them are blind or otherwise badly handicapped or very old. They just can't exist by themselves on the road. You might wonder what they get out of being kept in an enclosure like this, not being able to see or run about swiftly like other dogs. At IDA we do our best to see that they feel safe and comfortable. They can't see, but their other senses work very well. They get the scent of visiting friends and are truly happy. They can "hear" all the action going on in the Centre and the sense that works best is the one of taste!
They really appreciate their meals and at the Centre, they don't have to worry where the next meal is coming from. We see that they are well fed. The enclosure is open and breezy and the overhead fans keep them cool. As you can see, the benches are nice to sit on also and each has their favourite place.

The brown fluffy dog is visiting for some treatment. She is very old but is quite agile and healthy and she has one blind eye. She's okay with one working eye and she has a loving family in a Society who sees to all her needs. After some treatment, she will go back as she can see and is also quite mobile. Enjoying her stay at Deonar by the time!
