Hi my name is Bunty and I am a 4 month old puppy rescued from Guragon, India. I will be arriving into Chicago to find my forever home on October 28, 2019. Here is my rescue story.
My rescuers and people who know me call me a jovial little fellow who likes people and other dogs (of all ages). Like most young dogs I like to play and receive affection. I can run in circles in a garden especially if I have friends to play with. Like other Indian street dogs, I am very intelligent and with good training can make one of the best companion dogs of all breeds. With some training, I can also become friends with other furry creatures like cats and other pets that you may have in your
home.
I was too naïve and trusting on the streets and unable to maneuver the traffic that was all around me. I probably would have perished on the busy road if I was not taken to safety. That is the reason my rescuer decided to take me and my siblings to a boarding home and try and find me a home in the US. I am eager to please and can’t wait to meet YOU.

Desi (day-see) —or Indian— Dogs live on the city and village streets of India. There are an estimated 260,000 street dogs just in the capital, New Delhi. Also called Indian Native Dogs or Pariah Dogs, these incredible animals are intelligent, good-looking, athletic, and full of character! In India, the dogs face extreme temperatures (damp, chilly winters and 115-degree summers), cars and other fast vehicles, disease, monsoons, and violence from people, as well as other street dogs. Some “community dogs” are sterilized, vaccinated, and fed by wonderful volunteers, while most street dogs experience indifferent cultural attitudes and survive on their own efforts and luck. Litters of pups are often drowned, buried alive, stoned, or removed from their mothers. Most citizens do not know about dog sterilization and vaccination, and if they do, many cite religious beliefs against spaying/neutering. In the cities, there is major cultural interest in the “superiority” of “purebreeds.” Unfortunately, even the labs, pugs, Dobermans, St. Bernards, boxers, and German Shepherds are frequently abandoned as many families do not have the funds, space, and knowledge about responsible long-term dog ownership. In recent years, compassion and interest towards the native street dogs is slowly, slowly developing, but there are not nearly enough potential adopters to welcome the huge number of rescued street dogs.
