During this month, we host expert-led workshops—from the 4,000-year history of our native dogs to practical, legal guidelines for community caregivers—where every rupee of profit is donated directly to the Bangalore Distemper Rehabilitation Centre. You are not just attending a session; you are funding life-saving care for dogs who need us most. ### Why We Do This For too long, Indian street dogs have been viewed as a problem to be solved rather than companions to be cherished. We started Incredible Indie Month to shift that narrative. Whether you are a long-time pet parent or a community dog feeder, this month is designed to equip you with facts, foster empathy, and build a stronger network. ### What To Expect * **Expert-Led Learning:** We bring in behaviorists like Raj Mariwala to teach the 'unfiltered truth' about our dogs. Learn the difference between landrace and breed, understand the history of our Indies, and get practical training on conflict resolution. * **Caregiver Support:** We host sessions specifically for those on the front lines. If you feed or care for community dogs, we cover feeding laws, welfare standards, and best practices for co-existence. * **Advocacy & Awareness:** Through online catchups and in-person meetups, we discuss the scientific methods of population management and how to handle community friction with compassion. ### The Impact Transparency is key to our work. We do not just talk about change; we fund it. All profits from every workshop, ticket, and piece of Indie-themed merchandise sold during this month go directly to supporting the Bangalore Distemper Rehabilitation Centre. By joining us, you are helping to treat community dogs suffering from canine distemper and supporting the NGOs working to give them a second chance. Let us stop calling them 'stray' and start recognizing them as ours. ## About The Pack We are The Pack. What started as a small group of 200 pet parents is now a community of 30,000.
