Among them was Chaithra, an Indie dog who had been thrown from a bridge in Sangareddy district.Six months later, with the help of the NGOs, the dog had made a full recovery. The other dogs, which were suffering from various ailments, were also rescued after being found abandoned. Along with the dogs, three cats were also up for adoption.The animals at adoption centre have been sheltered and brought back to full health by NGOs and now have the opportunity to become part of a family. “You don’t buy dogs; you adopt them. Dogs are part of the family,” said Shriti, a textile retailer who wanted to adopt the three cats.“There is a common misconception that rescued dogs are not suitable for family life. My first dog was adopted too, and he was fine,” said Aslam Mirza, who wanted to adopt the Rottweiler.The NGOs will first conduct a screening test for prospective owners. Once they are satisfied that the pets will have a safe home, the adoption process will be finalised.
