Hi, I am crystal the tiniest pup in the entire shelter. I am female and will be completing 4 month a day before my travel. I am vaccinated up to date, healthy and micro chipped. I am full of life, love to play with all the dogs, human adult and kids. I love to be in Lap most of the time. I always beg people to take me in Lap. In the month of March I will be a part of ISDF family and would be available for adoption. I will be fostered at Wadsworth, IL (Chicago).
About my rescue story:
I was rescued the day my rescuer decided that they will not rescue more dogs as they already have 45 dogs waiting for home since months. But there is something called destiny, we can not change!
On 15th December (Saturday) my rescuer was driving to the shelter home to see all other dogs and all of a sudden she had to stop her car as the truck ahead on emergency brake to save me. I was born on Sohna high way and was trying to cross road. As per the street vendor I was new to that crossing junction (My rescue spot). That truck driver saved me and my rescued she had already made her mind not to rescue more dogs, she saw me and took me to the other side of the high way and made temporary place for me to stay. As she tried in a killo meters radius to find my family but no vein. She dropped me there and drove to the shelter.
But the fact was she was unable to concentrate on her drive and took a turn back in 15 minutes to see me, if I am settle in place of not. In those 15 minutes I was again back on the main highway and this time I was hurt and was crying. I was rescued immediately, I was hurt with motor bike and the next day my leg swollen but there was no sign of fracture or displacement, it was inflammation only. I went to vet on the same day and was given injection for pain and X ray done. I was able to walk very well and started jumping on the dogs from 4th day. I had a rough life and don’t know where my family is. One important thing that my rescuer talks a lot, she keep on discussing how she is struggling to get home for all other rescues and also assured my that she will find family for me soon. See how lucky I am that I am getting a chance to travel to ISDF. Rest assured I will be a perfect match for your family.

**************
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.
