Dogs Available For Adoption

Find your forever friend. Give a dog a second chance.

Across India, thousands of loving dogs are waiting in shelters, foster homes and rescue centres for someone to call them “family.”

ThePetNest helps connect kind-hearted pet parents with dogs who truly need homes – in a safe, transparent and responsible way.

Instead of buying a puppy from an unknown source, you can adopt a dog who is vaccinated, health-checked and matched to your lifestyle.

Like we say, “Where there is a will, there is a way” – and ThePetNest is that way for dog adoption across India.

Why Choose Dog Adoption (Not Shopping)?

1. You Save a Life

India has a large stray dog population and many end up in shelters or on the streets. When you adopt:

• You give that dog a safe home
• You create space in the shelter for another dog in need
• You directly support ethical, humane pet care

“Charity begins at home” – and adopting a dog is one of the kindest things you can start at home.

2. You Say NO to Unethical Breeding

Puppy mills and backyard breeders often:

• Keep dogs in poor conditions
• Overbreed female dogs
• Focus on profit, not health or welfare

By adopting through ThePetNest, you take a stand against cruel breeding practices and support a more compassionate pet culture in India.

3. You Get a Loyal Best Friend

Adopted dogs often understand they’ve been given a second chance. They show it through:

• Extra loyalty
• Deep bonding
• Pure, unconditional love

“A house is made of bricks and beams, a home is made of love and dreams.” A dog fills your home with both.

Why Adopt a Dog Through ThePetNest?

We encourage medical records, photos and honest history so you can adopt with confidence.

2. Focus on the Right Match (Not Just Any Match)

Every family is different. Every dog is different. We help you think about:

• Your space (apartment or independent house)
• Your work hours and lifestyle
• Your experience with dogs (first-time or experienced)

Because in adoption, “Look before you leap” is very important.

3. Guidance from Pet Experts

ThePetNest platform connects you with:

• Vets for health advice
• Trainers for behaviour and basic obedience
• Groomers for hygiene and coat care

So you don’t feel lost after adoption.

4. Transparent & Responsible Adoption Process

We encourage adoption agreements, proper ID proof, and no buying/selling of dogs through our adoption section.

Is Dog Adoption Right for You? (Let’s Reflect Together)

Before you adopt, ask yourself:

• Can I commit 10–15 years to a dog’s life?
• Can I afford quality food, vet visits, and basic care?
• Is my family comfortable with dogs?
• Am I ready to clean up, adjust routines, and be patient while the dog settles?
• Will I avoid abandoning my dog if I move city, change jobs, or have a baby?

Remember the proverb: “A stitch in time saves nine.” Thinking carefully now prevents heartbreak later – for both you and the dog.

Tips for First-Time Dog Parents Adopting via ThePetNest

• Start small, start simple: Don’t try to be perfect on day one.
• Set a routine: Fixed times for meals, walks and playtime.
• Create a safe corner: A bed or mat where your dog can relax.
• Introduce slowly: New people, kids or other pets should meet your dog calmly.
• Be patient: The dog may be scared or confused in the beginning.
• Stay in touch: Use ThePetNest services like online vets or trainers if you’re stuck.

Think of it like this: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” A strong bond with your dog also takes time, love, and consistency.
