Requires Lifelong Commitment in Bengaluru Dog Adoption Drive
Officials stressed that adopting a pet is a lifelong responsibility rather than a temporary decision.
The Greater Bengaluru Authority noted that abandoned pets often suffer emotional distress, making it important for adopters to commit to providing permanent care, affection and a safe environment.
Authorities urged prospective adopters to adopt responsibly, as rescued dogs deserve stable and permanent homes.
Passive Adoption Option Introduced in Bengaluru Dog Adoption Drive
For citizens who are unable to keep a pet at home but still wish to contribute to animal welfare, the programme also offers a Passive Adoption initiative.
Under this arrangement, individuals can financially support elderly, injured or medically challenged rescue dogs by helping meet their food, medical and care expenses without taking them home.
Officials said every adoption and sponsorship will be carried out under the prescribed guidelines and official protocols.
Public Invited to Participate in Bengaluru Dog Adoption Drive
The Greater Bengaluru Authority has appealed to animal lovers, families and responsible pet owners across Bengaluru to participate in the adoption event and help rescued Indian native dogs find caring homes.
