Save Orphaned Puppies.

There are an estimated 200,000 homeless dogs in Bangalore. Thousands that are added on the street each year, are unsterilized pets abandoned by irresponsible owners and breeders and their unwanted puppies, further leading to an increase in the homeless dog population. Many of the mother dogs on the street are killed or die due to accidents and diseases every year, leaving behind their newborn infants helpless. While some of these puppies might survive, most infant puppies die on the streets.

Let's Live Together initiated Cocoon in 2009, a foster-based(no shelter) rescue and adoption program that specializes in caring for neonatal, underage homeless puppies. We sensitize the community on breed discrimination and promote adoption of native dogs as an ethical alternative to the pet breeding industry to “End Animal Homelessness, Responsibly”.

Cocoon will rescue 60 infant puppies from the street, in the next one year, who will be nurtured by trained foster families, taken to the vet, groomed and socialised for a minimum of 3 weeks and will be cared for however long it takes to find them suitable homes.

Let's Live Together has rescued, provided individual care and found homes for more than 800 orphaned puppies. Let's Live Together has led the way in promoting adoption of rescued puppies and has helped “raise the image of Indian dogs in India” since 2009.

Here is the story of Cherry and her siblings, whom we saved.

Cherry and her 4 siblings, all of them just a week old, were abandoned in a carton box by a garbage bin in Basaveshwara nagar, Bangalore. The case was reported to Let's Live Together’s help-line, we rushed and rescued the puppies. We took them to the vet for a primary check up, got them to our adoption office, bottle-fed them for 2 weeks and moved them to our foster homes. After 2 months of intense care, nourishment, vaccinations and socialization, the 5 puppies found lovely homes. Now the puppies live safely away from the street, as companions with their forever families.
