Our Mission: Why We Pawga and Fight for Indian Streeties
We didn't start this just for the yoga or the art. We started Pawga to rewrite the narrative of Indian street animals, moving from pity to actual connection and adoption.
Are we really free if the cost of human freedom is animal cruelty? This powerful image with two streeties on a beach is a reminder of our fight for all beings.
People often ask if we are a shelter. We're not, but we have immense respect for the work they do. Our role is to support them by raising funds and finding homes for their animals.
A city without its street dogs is a city without history, resilience, and softness. They are the watchers of our lanes and our childhood companions.
We often get requests for breed dogs, but adopting an indie is free and helps both the shelter and the dog. This post reflects on the challenges and realities of animal welfare in India.
We analyze and question legal rulings affecting stray animals. Even when a ruling seems favorable, we look deeper to understand its true impact and hold authorities accountable.
On Independence Day, we reflect on the millions of animals who are not free. They live in chains, cages, and labs, and their cries often go unheard.
Streeties are territorial and provide a sense of security in our neighborhoods. This post questions the Supreme Court's decisions that threaten to take that away from us.
The anxiety and fear that even animal lovers can feel around dogs is real. This video shows how seeing a wagging tail can overcome that fear.
We live another day, chasing silver linings and hoping the system will help us be more compassionate. We celebrate International Dog Day any day we stand up for the voiceless.
Do you know why we celebrate International Dog Day? It was founded in 2004 by Colleen Paige as a tribute to her adopted senior dog.
About Our Mission: Why We Pawga
Every ticket you buy for a Pawga event helps fund vaccinations, food, and medical care for the shelters we partner with across India. But more importantly, this is a space for you to meet the real stars: our rescue puppies and kittens. They roam freely during our yoga and art sessions, and if you fall in love, we handle the adoption paperwork for you so you can bring home a new best friend.
People often ask us if Pawga is a shelter. We wish! We are just a group of people who couldn't ignore the plight of street animals and decided to do something about it. Since 2020, we have been using the joy of puppy yoga to bridge the gap between people and the animals that need them most.
Why We Do This
Our streeties are the history and resilience of our cities, yet they are constantly sidelined for illegally bred international dogs. We host these sessions to show you the personality, the silliness, and the pure heart of an Indian indie dog. When you participate, you aren't just paying for a class; you are helping us fight the stigma against strays.
The Reality of Our Work
We are loud about our advocacy because we have to be. We track legal rulings, we call out the mistreatment of feeders, and we document the daily realities of animal welfare in India. We believe that if you are here, you care too.
Your Role in the Mission
Whether you attend a puppy yoga flow, a pottery workshop with kittens, or just come to hang out, your presence supports local shelters. We aren't just selling a ticket; we are creating a cycle of care. You get an hour of chaos and connection, and a streetie gets a fighting chance at a forever home. If you want to support, join the #pawga fam and let's make some noise for the voiceless.
