Hoshi was rescued from the streets of New Delhi, India. Last week she joined Ryan and Katie Pavlik of Berwyn, IL.Thanks to Jyoti Chawla of Paws for a Cause Hoshi and her 4 siblings were rescued from a certain short and challenging life on the streets. Instead of fending for survival and enduring the hardships of the street they are all safely home and flourishing in homes in the Chicago area.
Thank you to Jyoti for traveling to Chicago to ensure safe passage. Thank you to Premlata for vetting and handling the airport logistics. Thank you to Krystal Blessi for fostering in Chicago. As always it’s a huge undertaking and labor of love to save a life and provide second chance for the very lucky few.
You too can save a life.
Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight I wish I may, I wish I might, find my furever home in the United States. My name is Hoshi and my foster family named me such as it means star and I’m described as the most intelligent in my litter. When i was only 7-10 days old me and my 2 brothers and 3 sisters were dropped off on Jyoti’s door step in New Delhi, India. She has been taking great care of us, but it’s been hard to find us homes in India so we are coming to the United States – we arrive on February 9, 2018
At only three months old I’ve learned that I love playing with other dogs, humans of all ages, and even car rides. Jyoti has been teaching me simple commands and to spend time in a crate but I still have things to learn. However, I’m described as being smart and faithful so I think I’ll be a great new addition to your family!
I am approximately 15 pounds and will be a medium sized dog when full grown between 30 and 45 pounds. I am current on vaccinations and micro-chipped but I am too young to be spayed. I am arriving into Chicago on February 9th to find my forever home. I look forward to meeting you and charming you with my cute puppy ways. I have so much love to give.
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 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, 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.
