My name is Sriracha, and like the hot sauce, I can make almost everything in your life brighter and better! I’m a beautiful desi street puppy from Gurgaon, India, born at the start of 2018, and to be honest, my flavor profile tips towards sweet more than spicy.
My rescuer Jyoti says I’m very adaptable and mild-mannered—just a lovely girl, inside and out. I’m a black beauty with a white chest; l look like I dipped one foot, and the tip of my tail into a pan of white paint! I love meeting adults and children of all ages, and I play nicely with other dogs. I like car rides too! I’m looking for a home that can give me all the love I crave. In return I will shower you with unlimited kisses, tail wags, and cuddles.
Here’s the story of my mama’s rescue, as told to me by my own fairy godmother, Jyoti: My mother Hope was in a terrible car accident on a busy road, and was unconscious when Jyoti rushed her to the CGS Veterinary Hospital with skull fractures and a dislocated jaw. It was over 6 hours before she finally regained consciousness, and she remained in critical condition for several days. Once Hope stabilized, doctors discovered she was pregnant, and after a few more days Jyoti was able to bring my mama home.
Amazingly, considering all she’d been though, my mama gave birth to 6 beautiful puppies, including me! Jyoti tried hard to find us homes in India for over 3 months. Despite Jyoti’s persistance, she couldn’t find enough suitable adopters. Now, through Jyoti’s partnership with ISDF, I’m flying to Chicago with my brothers Obi and Pinto. Jyoti says our forever families are waiting for us there, for sure. Paws crossed, I’ll go home with you soon!
7/26 Fosters update: Sriracha is super cute! We love her and everyone agrees she is blossoming into a playful, happy, sweet little girl!!!!! Oh and she is lightening FAST!!! She is still looking for her forever home ?❤️
Sriracha is spayed, micro-chipped and current on vaccinations. All she needs now is her forever home.

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 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.
