Adopt an All-Indian Dog or Cat

Chameli

We consider all of our animals beautiful, but not all our puppies are this cute.  Chameli is the sweetest thing, isn’t she?

She was spotted by Pradeep and one of our drivers, walking right down the middle of a main road.  Anyone who has been on a busy street in India knows that is no place for a person to be walking, let alone a defenseless puppy.  She was being fed a little by the people in the neighborhood, but we needed to take her in, sterilize her, and find her a steady, responsible owner.  The earlier we find these homeless dogs, the more problems we can prevent in the dog community in general:  disease, aggressiveness, overpopulation, etc.  At the end of the day, all the dogs and cats at the shelter are seeking stable, loving homes. 

Our adoption program

For those living in and around Visakhapatnam and interested in taking care of our lovely animals, please contact us about our adoption program.

As more people in India get “pets” or companion animals, one of our aims is to avoid the same problems that the western countries have been battling for over 100 years.  That of unwanted pets having to be euthanized.   We do not want a throwaway society for our beloved animals but need the public’s help to adopt a pet rather than buy one from a pet shop.

Our animal shelter frequently has purebred pets needing adoption but please consider a mixed breed/all India dog.   Mixed breed have less health problems. Consider even adopting a fully grown dog or cat rather than just a puppy or kitten and you can also know the personality first and make sure the pet is a match for your family situation.  Not every one has the time to raise a puppy or kitten and giving a home to a abandoned pet will give much satisfaction to you and the pet.

Any pet adopted through Visakha SPCA that does not work out for any reason can be returned to us. We provide counseling on proper pet care, sterilization  and all vaccinations.
