Ahmedabad / Vadodara: locked up in the four walls of their home because of Covid-19, a young couple based in Vadodara bought Labrador’s puppy to defeat the Isolation of Blues and maintained the company when they worked from home earlier this year.
Almost two months later, once their office began, the couple realized the dog is now an obligation! The couple approached Stuti Bakshi, a yoga instructor and animal lover looking for help finding alternative parents.
“After the office they continued, they could not make enough time to care for the dog and suddenly became too much responsible for and therefore they wanted to sell it,” said Bakshi, who helped adopt a dog in it on Sunday.
Labrador is now part of a family where love is unconditional and temporary.
This is not an incident alone.
Getting out of their new love for cats and dogs, often inspired by the trend of social media or just to defeat the lonely post-locking work of home life, genealogical dogs and cats are increasingly adopted by people in the cities of Gujarat.
However, warmth for hairy friends in many cases turned into short-lived to a lot of horror stories for abandoned pets or abandoned in the rescue center.
Rescuers and coaches, dormitories and housing homes for pets throughout the country claimed to be flooded with requests to rehabilitate dogs and cats.
For example, Ahmedabad based on Jivaya Charliable Trust (JCT) handles adoption and rehabilitation of around 66 pets, including 49 types of types and 17 Persian cats found abandoned last year.
“That number is even half of this, a year ago.
Many people buy or adopt a puppy that gives social media trends.
They might love dogs and cats but people fail to understand it is a lifelong responsibility and easily give it for random reasons , “said Gira Shah, managing Trustee, JCT.
The reason was quoted by pets to dispose of their confined ward betraying how to adopt a pet was FAD than the decision thought carefully.
“People quote reasons, namely the dog suddenly becomes too big! Someone in the family is not comfortable in the presence of a dog or cat.
Pets are too aggressive.
Pets have medical conditions and families do not want to bear costs.
Now, things This must be considered before adopting.
People must realize that they are dealing with life and not an object, “Shah exclaimed.
In many cases, people only leave dogs or give them because they cannot bear medical costs.
For example, Luci, the German shepherd puppy was adopted by a family in Ahmedabad but as soon as it was caught by Parvo infection, the family called for city-based rescuers for the reason it was unable to pay medical bills.
“I brought home pup and got it treated but unfortunately, the dog did not survive.
Opposing only three to four calls a month before locking from the family who wanted to give their dogs, I have now attended six to eight calls every week,” said Devesh Trivedi , based on Ahmedabad a dog savior, which has handled the rehabilitation of around 20 dogs this year.
