Rescue is my favourite breed

We rescue puppies and we try for their adoption. Indian-breed dogs are hard to place, so we face plenty of failed attempts alongside the successful ones. These are some of the ones that worked — and there are many more still to come.

Lily, an abandoned Labrador rescued by Speechless
Adopted

Lily

We found a two-year-old Labrador who had been abandoned on the streets. Lily was very well behaved and obedient with no medical issues. We received almost 50 calls about her — half of them from breeders. We turned every one of them down, and found the perfect home where she is living happily now.

Sheru, rescued and rehomed by Speechless
Adopted in a month

Sheru

Sheru was found roaming the streets all alone and scared. We brought him to our shelter and he immediately gelled with the other puppies. He was adopted within a month into a lovely family with two children who absolutely adore him.

Oreo, found weak on the road and rehomed
Adopted

Oreo

We found this cutie roaming the roads, very weak and scavenging for food. We took him straight to a vet to get him treated and vaccinated. Within a month, the day finally came — our very cute Oreo found a very good family.

Mickey, treated for a severe skin infection over three months
3 months in foster care

Mickey

Mickey was rescued from the streets with a major skin infection. Two of our volunteers fostered her and got her treated. It took three months to get her all better — big and beautiful. Just when we were most worried about her adoption and had almost lost hope, a family came forward to take her home. The one she had always craved.

Sia, found alone on the road and adopted
Adopted

Sia

Sia was found on the road all alone and dirty. We got all her vaccinations done and cleaned her up. She was a very sweet and cuddly little puppy. It took a month to find her a home — she is now very happy there, enjoying life to the fullest.

Veera, rescued from a drainage pipe
Rescued from a drain

Veera

Veera was stuck in a drainage pipe for almost five or six hours before our volunteers got to her. She was later diagnosed with tick fever. With time she got better and turned into a fun-loving puppy — and finally, her adoption day came and she got the most loving family.

Chalo, rescued from a construction site
Adopted

Chalo

Chalo was not always this big. He was a cute, chubby little boy living at a construction site and he was terrified of humans. Eventually Chalo started trusting people, and soon we found the perfect family where he could fit in and get all the love he deserved.

Cookie, the shelter's lucky charm
Our lucky charm

Cookie

Cookie was abandoned near our shelter when she was two months old. She was a very friendly, very cute puppy, and slowly she became part of the Speechless Puppy Shelter itself. Cookie is our lucky charm — as soon as she was adopted, good leads started coming in for the rest of our pups too.

Why buy, when you can adopt?

Every one of these dogs was written off by somebody. All of them turned out to be the best thing that happened to a family. There are 16 more waiting right now.
