VOSD only accepts dogs within the terms defined in the VOSD Standard Operating Procedure v3.0. As you can see this does not include pups or a whole litter. We have hundreds of gravely ill and injured dogs and pups have very high mortality in such an environment and we can’t endanger them any further.
As and when we are able to isolate the pups from the adult dogs and carry out with such rescue this will be announced on the VOSD website and social media pages.
VOSD currently does not have Emergency Dog Rescue Services. We are able to provide rescue support only where local volunteers are able to take custody of the injured or sick dog and stabilize the dog with proper treatment from private vet clinics or other NGOs. After that we can take a decision to bring the dog to VOSD Sanctuary on a case by case basis. We don’t have a rescue team or ambulances to cater to emergency rescue situations and hence can’t help. We hope to restart dog rescue services soon. We don’t have a helpline number. Best way to reach us is by writing to info@vosd.in
VOSD does NOT adopt out dogs. VOSD is a permanent home for our rescued dogs. It’s for this reason:
Our system is effective to the point that more than 450 dogs have come to us from all over India.
That said there are several agencies in Bangalore and other cities that you can adopt dogs from and there are hundreds of dogs waiting to get adopted with them. You can as easily give them a chance.
