Which shelters does Paws for a Cause collaborate with?
While our primary aim is to help independent rescuers with adoptions,
we also collaborate with the following shelters:
-All Creatures Great & Small, Faridabad
-Tiny Tails Home, Noida
-Tails of Compassion, Gurgaon
Can I foster a dog/cat? What is the minimum number of days for fostering?
In order to foster a dog, you need to fill in our adoption/foster form.
Please get in touch with the coordinator of the dog you wish to foster.
A house check will be conducted following which you can foster that dog
if the environment and experience of the foster is deemed suitable. A dog
must be fostered for a minimum of 10 days, and a foster contract committing
to this time period must be signed.
Does age matter?
No. The age of a dog does not decide whether they will make good companion animals.
Some things to keep in mind are:
1. Pups under 8 weeks of age should not be separated from their mother or siblings.
They require breast milk to develop a strong immune system and also learn several
important social skills from their mother and siblings.
2. Adult dogs bond with adoptive families extremely well. It is a misconception that an adult dog would be aloof and only pups must be adopted.
3. Senior dogs make wonderful companions. They are usually gentle, low maintenance and can be left alone for some time every day. Most importantly, you would be giving them a respectful last few years of their life.
Can I meet a dog I’m interested in adopting?
Once the form has been filled and house check conducted, you are free to visit the dogs you are interested in adopting.
Do you also conduct rescues or ABC operations?
We function as an adoption agency, and therefore we do not conduct rescues as we do not run a shelter or centre. We also have no medical facilities or transportation van. However we will guide you on who to contact and what to do depending on the situation.
Is sterilization mandatory?
Sterilization is mandated as per our adoption contract. All shelters we work with also deem sterilization mandatory.
Do you charge an adoption fee?
While Paws for a Cause does NOT charge an adoption fee, some of the shelters we work with do charge a nominal amount. We do however function on donations, and would be grateful if anyone chooses to donate!
If I want to put my dog up for adoption, can I contact you?
You can contact us on Facebook or through our e-mail ID to discuss the situation with us.
Are rescuers allowed to be in touch with adopters?
This depends on the comfort of both the family that is adopting and the rescuer of the dog.
How long does it take for a dog to find a home?
We cannot guarantee adoptions within any specific time frame though we try our best to ensure no dog goes without a home for long. Purebred dogs, males, and young indie pups tend to get adopted faster due to breed, gender, and age biases.
