Meet Ponky

Our Founder had just left for vacation and was hoping to have a relaxing couple of days away from the stress of rescuing dogs. As one can imagine rescuing dogs from India has a huge impact on our emotional state even though we all try our best to not become too attached to the dogs we are helping. That morning we received a message on Facebook about puppies living in a gutter across the street from the Hilton in Saket, Delhi. We were told one of the puppies was very ill, as it was non-stop shaking. Unfortunately, the person who reached out to us on Facebook was just a tourist visiting India and didn’t know what to do for the litter of puppies.

The Foundation quickly put out a plea on Facebook asking for someone to go check on the puppies and bring them food and water. As soon as it was posted, we got many responses and found someone to go check on the litter of the puppies. The person who checked on the puppies was very worried about the medical condition of the shaky puppy. Learning this information we could not stand by and watch this litter of puppies suffer, especially the shaky pup. This meant we needed to take immediate action and had out vet in India retrieve the puppies. Sadly, by the time they arrived three of the puppies had died. We are still so fortunate that we had the opportunity to save the other four puppies in the litter.

Ponky arrived to the clinic, also nick named Delhi Jr, with his three siblings. Since Ponky was healthy, he was immediately moved to a foster family with two human foster sisters. Ponky had so much fun playing with his new human friends and received lots of love and care.

We immediately had someone interested in adopting Ponky in Tacoma, Washington. Luckily, as fate worked out, there was another puppy that needed to be sent to Vancouver via Cargo. Ponky and his crate buddy arrived to Vancouver on January 28th 2019. Ponky was picked up by our founder and then driven to Seattle. He spent a couple days being fostered by our founder before going to his forever home. Ponky has now been name Bo.
