GREAT NEWS…. Soba now named Bongo is HOME!
Bongo was rescued from the streets on New Delhi, India. He is now part of my brother Hunter and his wife Lindsey’s family in Milwaukee, Wi. Lily and Madden – their two children are overjoyed!
They came over to meet Soba and two of his siblings Zazu and Fuyu the night they arrived. It was a rough decision as all 3 pups are so adorable and loving. In the end Madden made the call and chose Soba. The family voted and the decision was made…. Bongo has been settling in very well and knows he is part of a loving new family. ❤️?
Thank you to Jyoti Chawla of Paws for a Cause fro rescuing this sweet boy and traveling to Chicago with him to give him this wonderful second chance! Thank you to Premlata Choudhary for vetting and arranging airport logistics. Most importantly thank you to Hunter and his family for giving him the loving home he deserves.
You too can save a life.

Pre-Adoption Post
Hi there! My name is Soba and I was mysteriously left on my foster mom’s doorstep with my 2 brothers and 3 sisters when we were only 7-10 days old! We are now 3 months old and have learned some of the ropes from our foster mom and the 20 other dogs in the home in New Delhi, India.
Adoption is tough in India and even despite our cuteness only one of my siblings was able to find a home…so we are coming to America to find our happiness! Soba is the name for Japanese noodles and it fits me perfectly because compared to my siblings I love to eat, I’m very social, yet a bit calmer. As any three month old pup would be I’m still learning basic obedience. I’m super great with kids, meeting new people, playing with dogs (as you can imagine living with 20), and riding in cars. I am about 15 pounds of cuteness right now and will be a medium sized dog when full grown between 30 and 45 pounds.
I arrive on February 9, 2018 into Chicago to find my forever family. I’d love to meet you and be a part of your family.
I am current on vaccinations and micro-chipped but too young to be neutered.
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.
