- KALLI
Hello, everyone! I am Kalli, a young indie female, 2.5 year of age. I am currently residing in Gurgaon, India. Here I am with my adoption appeal, hopeful of finding my human family.
I am a true warrior. My mother passed away in a terrible road accident barely forty days after my brothers and I were born. Left on our own to fend for ourselves, we found our guardian angel in Jyoti, our rescuer. She took us in and tried finding homes for all of us. While my brothers found homes, I did not. Jyoti has been trying since, to find me a home in my land.
I crave attention, and will shower you with unlimited licks and cuddles once you decide to bestow your love on me. Always ready to play, I am great with human children! I am also a quick learner, loyal and well-mannered. Therefore, I get along easily with the elderly as well.
Hopefully, through ISDF I will be able to find a home to call my own. My wonderful rescuer has been trying to find me a house for far too long, and I want this to be a fruitful quest.

Desi (day-see) dogs live on the city and village streets of India, with an estimated 400,000 in the capital Delhi, alone. Also called Indies, Indian Native Dogs, or pariah dogs, these dogs have changed little over thousands of years. Desi dogs are highly intelligent, alert, good-looking, athletic, and full of character. Many urban desi dogs have recent European breed ancestry too, along with sighthound sleekness and speed.
While most street dogs experience indifference at best, some neighbors and business owners look after their community dogs. Delhi’s extreme weather (cold winters, sweltering summers, thick smog, and monsoons), dangerous traffic, disease, human violence, and attacks from other dogs, ensure that most desi puppies die before reaching adulthood. It’s a great irony that increasing numbers of status-conscious Indians are buying expensive and ill-suited foreign breed dogs, while more resilient and regal-looking native Indian dogs often have to travel internationally to find willing adoptive homes. Most of the desi dogs that ISDF places could not survive on Indian streets due to early orphaning or injury, or have been rescued from especially threatening situations.
