Try searching for FB pages in your city who are doing rescue/adoptions/neutering, here we have a very large community who does all of this. I'm sure you can get adopters without much headache on those pages. Post there with all details and hopefully these small pups can find their future homes.

You can try and contact Dog House in Red Hills.

Blue Cross is overwhelmed. They are unable to take in any more rescues.

Is there a way to properly send pet medication from outside India to India? I recently sent some meds via UPS from USA to India. In the customs form I enclosed all the details as to what it is, the price, total after tax (roughly 9k) and mentioned I was not a business but just a person sending it as a gift.
The parcel reached Mumbai in 2 days and got stuck in customs. They then called the recipient and was asked to pay 8k before they would release the package, instantly nearly doubling the cost. Is there a trick to handle this?

I realize this may be not the place but I subscribe to a few animal rescue organizations in India (on Instagram and FB) and often see requests for meds, other supplies etc. I don't mind sending it from here but I don't want them to pay a huge amount just to release that package from customs, beats the purpose entirely. Has anyone done this?

Is there any organization in Bangalore who can visit a farm near Kanakapura. In my farm, there are a few dogs from the village which used to visit and now have become permanent residents at my farm. among them 2 are female and they both have given birth to 15 puppies. Including these two females, there are 5 more which I am taking care off, but at the rate with which they are increasing, it will become difficult. Want to get them Spayed and Neutered. I will arrange for their transport and expenses. Let me know if anyone available.

Wow, that's a lot. Your best bet would have been to neuter the 2 females earlier.

But I guess now, CUPA is probably a good option: https://cupabangalore.org/spay-neuter-centre/

Thanks for the reply. I did try reaching out to them, but the want me to get all of them to their center in Bangalore, which is a very big task, hence trying to see if someone can visit the farm. Actually there are 3 females which I need to first get it done.

Let me know if you come across anyone who can help me.
