Another one home for the holidays!! Khushi is HOME and she escaped Chicago’s cold spell as she is now a California girl. Khushi was rescued from the streets of New Delhi, India.
Khushi joined Raj Rihal of Pasadena, CA. That’s right Raj knew that Khushi was his dog and flew all the way to Chicago to get her. Then he drove for 3 days back to California so not to have to subject her to the stress of yet another flight.
Many of us would go to the ends of the earth for our Street dogs and so I knew Khushi would be in good hands with Raj and that she is. She has already started training – goes jogging with her mom every day and has settled into a lovely routine. Khushi’s Christmas wishes were answered and mine too..
Thank you Simmi Malhotra for rescuing this sweet girl and giving her this chance. Thank you to Sonia Heller for sponsoring her flight and thank you toPremlata Choudhary for assisting with the flight logistics.
Most importantly thank you to Raj for welcoming Khushi into your life.
You too can save a life ….. www.istreetdog.com

Pre-Adoption – Khushi’s Rescue Story
Imagine….
Date: August 1st 2016
Temperature: Hot
Khushi: ALONE
Being a pup, maybe 30 days old or so, Khushi was seen following the footsteps of local town people, when the footsteps ended, she found herself in the middle of a busy street with no one there with her. Simmi Malhotra came to her rescue and searched for siblings, a mother, a father, any site of what could be this poor pups family. No one to be found. Simmi knew in her heart that she couldn’t leave this poor baby alone, as her odds of survival were close to nill without the guidance of her family. In fact, only 1 out of 25 puppies survive to adulthood even with the help of their family. So Simmi took Khushi home to care for her and give her the love she deserved. She was taken to the vet and provided medical care – she received her vaccinations, was spayed, and micro-chipped. In all her attempts to find Khushi a home, she failed. Unfortunately, no one wants Indian dogs (Desi) in India 
With the help of Dawn at ISDF, Khushi will soon be on here way to the US of A for another chance at a great life.
With a name like Khushi, meaning happiness and joy, it’s given that I am a sweet girl. I am known by all to be very friendly and loving, however, I do start off pretty slow and on the shy side. But once you become my comfort & happy place, it’s only up hill from there. I am walking well on a leash and even doing pretty good with no leash, staying by my fosters parents and all. I am very playful, sometimes a little too playful, as I am not very kind to my own toys. Okay, so I am kind of destructive with my toys. I say they are just not made very well 😉 I have been living with a foster family currently, but I am soon to be on my way to a new place, where I can only hope that a new family, like you, reading my story, will give me the chance I deserve to have a wonderful home. It’s not everyday that fur babies like myself get this opportunity, so I am very grateful.
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. Most dogs in India are Indian Native Dogs, sometimes called pariah dogs; these incredible animals are highly intelligent and alert, good-looking, athletic, adaptable, and full of character–they are dogs as dogs have been for thousands of years! In urban areas the Desi dogs often have European breeds in their recent ancestry too. Dogs in India face many challenges: extreme weather (damp, chilly winters, 115-degree summers, and monsoon floods), chaotic traffic, disease, and violence from people and other street dogs. Some community dogs are sterilized, vaccinated, and fed by volunteers, but most street dogs experience indifferent cultural attitudes and survive on their own efforts and luck. Litters of puppies often meet tragic and inhumane ends. Most people are unaware of animal sterilization and vaccination, and if they are, many cite religious beliefs against spaying/neutering. And in cities, there is major cultural interest in the supposed superiority of European “purebred” dogs. Unfortunately, purchased 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.
If you are interested in adopting Khushi, you can fill out and submit an adoption application here and call Dawn at 414-426-4148. You must be approved for adoption prior to scheduling a meet and greet.
