Charity of the Month
AAIDD
AAIDD (Adopt an Indian Desi Dog) is a small not for profit shelter which rescues puppies from the streets of New Delhi. The dogs are known locally as Desi Dogs. AAIDD works with two veterinarians in New Delhi who do up to 50 spay/neuters a month for street dogs as well as provide food and free vet care to Desis adopted by the poor. They also work to find homes for as many puppies as they can. Even if you canĆ¢ā¬ā¢t provide a home for a dog in need, your help can change the life of a puppy.
