AAIDD (Adopt An Indian Desi Dog) was started in 2009 to raise awareness that the Desi street dog of India makes an excellent companion animal
DESI DOG 2012 Calendar
AAIDD (Adopt An Indian Desi Dog) is a small not for profit rescue shelter located in Abbotsford, British Columbia. AAIDD rescues puppies from the streets of Delhi, India. These pups are known locally as ‘desi dogs’ and are the ancient heritage dog that abound in the streets of poor countries around the world. These pups have little chance to survive if they do spend their lives on the streets, suffering the effects of poor nutrition and parasites. With full tummies and simple parasite control they become happy, loving, gorgeous companion dogs.
Please contact AAIDD for additional information: barbara_gard@hotmail.com or 604.852.3375
Save a DESI. Save a Life.
