Second Chances for Abandoned Pets in Delhi-NCR
We rescue senior and sick pedigree dogs like Labradors, German Shepherds, and Bulldogs who were abandoned once they were no longer 'useful'. These animals deserve safety and dignity, not the streets.
Stella, an American Bulldog, was used for illegal breeding and then abandoned when her owner couldn't afford her injury treatment. We took her in, and now she has recovered and started walking again. She is ready for a real, loving home.
Discarded like trash in old age. This poor German Shepherd, Savvy, was tied to a pole on a main road in Ghaziabad and left to die. Imagine living in a home your whole life and ending up like this. He is now safe with us at a boarding facility.
This German Shepherd was tied to a pole in Sainik Farms and left. We rescued him and named him Sainik. He is now safe at Paws Pet Boarding, but his story is a sad example of how pets are abandoned.
Sainik, a young German Shepherd, was tied to a car and abandoned in Sainik Farms. He is medically fit and only about two years old. He is now safe with us and looking for a family that will not fail him again.

Casper, a senior Labrador, sleeps peacefully with a friend at our boarding. He was sent to us for permanent boarding in 2020 but was then abandoned by his rescuer. He is one of over 70 abandoned dogs in our permanent care.

Casper, our abandoned senior lab, has skin issues and requires ongoing medical care. The cost of caring for abandoned senior dogs is significant, which is why sponsorships are so vital for us.

About Second Chances for Abandoned Pets
Caring for an abandoned pedigree dog like a senior Labrador or a retired breeding Bulldog is a massive responsibility that goes beyond basic rescue. We handle complex medical boarding, daily wound management, and nutrition for these seniors because their previous owners often discarded them specifically to avoid these costs. When you see our work here, understand that it is a daily, 24/7 commitment to keeping them comfortable and safe for the rest of their lives.
The sad reality of Delhi is that many owners treat dogs like disposable household appliances. When a pet becomes too old to play, too expensive to treat for hip dysplasia, or simply inconvenient, they are often dumped on a main road or tied to a pole and left to die. This is what we fight against every single day.
Our Approach to Abandoned Pets
When we rescue a dog like Stella, who suffered from the fallout of illegal breeding, or Casper, a senior Labrador abandoned by his own rescuers, we do not just give them food. We provide:
- Medical Triage: Many abandoned seniors arrive with tick fever, severe skin infections, or untreated injuries. We stabilize them immediately at our partner clinics.
- Long-Term Medical Boarding: Unlike standard kennels, our boarding focuses on geriatric care, including bladder expression for paralyzed dogs and specialized high-protein diets for recovery.
- Dignity in Seniority: We know these dogs have spent their lives in homes. Living on a street is a terrifying, confusing experience for them. We make sure their remaining years are spent on a soft bed, not on concrete.
Why We Need Your Support
We are not a government body; we are a group of people working on the ground. The cost of maintaining 70+ abandoned dogs in our permanent care is immense. Vet bills, specialized nutrition, and the logistics of our ambulance service in South Delhi and NCR are entirely funded by public support. When you see our work, you are seeing the result of collective action. If you have the space or resources to sponsor a senior resident like Casper or adopt a rescued dog, please get in touch. We don't just clear the streets; we build a family for those who were thrown away.
Karan Puri Foundation
We are the Karan Puri Foundation. We believe that an abandoned pedigree dog is just as much ours as any community street dog, and we fight to ensure they aren't left to suffer alone. If you've found a pet that's been dumped or see a dog in distress, we are here to help.
