Meet Veer

Monika, Veers rescuer who lives in Gurugram, contacted the Founder of Delhi the Street Dog Foundation in October of 2018.  Our foundation was not even off the ground yet but Jessica could not say no to helping Veer as she has a soft spot for tripods. That made Veer the first official dog that our foundation agreed to help in India. When Monika sent Jessica the pictures she could see so much soul in his eyes and that Veer had a story that only he knew.  We knew he deserved nothing but the best life in which unfortunately he was not going to receive in India. Monika is an amazing woman in India who helps so many helpless street dogs and has become a very good friend of the foundation.

One day, Monika found Veer on the side of the road as he had been beaten badly by someone. They had broken his leg and his eye was extremely injured resulting in him to loose his eyesight in that eye. She rushed Veer to the vet and they fixed up his leg in a cast in hopes that his leg would heal. Unfortunately, since Veer’s leg had multiple fractures the vet decided that amputation would be the best way for a speedy recovery. Despite his rough beginning that has not stopped this boy from being a total sweet heart.

Luckily, an amazing animal rescue in New York City, Animal Haven, agreed to take care of Veer until he found his forever home. The foundation found a donor to pay for his flight to New York City.  Veer was planned to fly as cargo, but last minute we found an amazing flight volunteer who agreed to help transport Veer from New Delhi to New York City. Finally, this boy was getting the chance he deserved to have a new beginning.

Veer arrived to Animal Haven on November 13th 2018, as you could imagine he was very scared in his new environment, everything was so new and different. But, regardless of his fear he still continued to shower all his new human friends at Animal Haven with lots of love and affection. With no surprise, multiple people were interested in adopting Veer. But, Animal Haven wanted to make sure this special boy was placed in the right home.  Veer met Ally and it was love at first sight and Animal Haven knew that Veer had picked his person.

Now Veer who was renamed Noah lives in New Jersey and is the King of the House. He even has a big back yard that is just for him. His mom is obsessed with him and spoils him every way possible. She can’t wait till the weather gets warmer so that they can explore. She said, “I keep calling him my spirit animal. I feel like the closer we get, the more I learn about life from him.”
