These eight rescued Indie dogs are our first cohort. They are learning the cues, confidence and reliability needed for future assistance and therapy roles. Each one lives with and is trained by a woman in rural Karnataka.
Every rupee supports the programme.
We keep our focus on the things that help a dog become a reliable working partner.
