"No mummy, I want the white one. The black one is too ugly!" "I want the other one, this one is too big." I listened to these words, over and over again today. I volunteered for an Adoption Marathon at Blue Cross India. We basically gave away all tiny puppies in the shelter for free for adoption. Less than 60 people turned up and half of them were frankly too scared to get the dog. I really don't understand by what they mean by "ugly" dogs. I don't understand how that matters. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw people were racists over there. Those dogs were nothing short than cute, they were all so pretty. They called it dirty, horrible and scary. I was very angry because they don't understand that dogs have feelings too. Its not the dog's fault that its mom left it abandoned on the street for crows to eat. Its not the dog's fault it lost a leg. Its not the dog's fault that it has some sort of disease. but who takes the blame at the end of the day? The dog. :( But on the good side, we had amazingly generous people who wanted to adopt more than one dog. They adopted this brother and sister because they didn't wanna separate them. Plus there was this very cute, tiny pup which they also adopted. All the volunteers gave a huge round of applause for those men because not only did they save one life, they just saved three. And so many people gushed in and adopted so many puppies and dogs. Out of 60 people almost 45 of them adopted and that is an amazing result. I was personally so excited for the dogs' lives as it just made a huge life altering turn. Through this post, I'm talking for Blue Cross and  for the animals there. They are a lovely bunch. Please if you are interested in having pets at home, don't go to the pet store and get one. Please adopt. These are the ones that need you the most and they will be more faithful, loving and caring than any store dog will ever be. Please let me know if you are interested. I'll make all possible arrangements to help you adopt any pet - dog, cats,  puppies, rabbits, kittens, squirrels, or anything. Its their world too, Help us to Help them :) :) :)
Live. Laugh. Love
