Why Adopt an Indie ?
Indie dogs and cats are resilient, intelligent, and naturally adapted to our environment. They bond deeply with their families, require fewer medical interventions, and make loyal, loving companions. By adopting an Indie, you’re not just welcoming an animal into your home—you’re saving a life and helping reduce the stray animal crisis.
Our Adoption Philosophy
At Pashupati Foundation, we promote Indie adoption because we believe it is the most effective and impactful way to support stray animal welfare. Puppies, kittens, Adult Cats & Dogs available for adoption are regularly shared on our Instagram adoption handle and Facebook group, with the location of the animal and foster caregiver contact details mentioned in the caption. To adopt, please keep an eye on our social media adoption handles to find a baby available near your location. All adoptions are free of cost. However, we strongly encourage ethical and responsible adoptions only. Post-adoption, adopters are required to share updates by sending photos or videos, or by tagging our adoption handle on social media so we can continue to monitor the baby’s well-being.
Am I Ready to Adopt?
Adoption is a lifetime commitment, not a temporary act of kindness. If you are ready to care for an animal for its entire life, adopt with confidence. If not, it is okay to pause and reconsider.
Think of adoption like welcoming a child into your family—you commit to their health, safety, emotional well-being, and future, every single day.

Sterilisation

The Adoption Process

After Adoption: What to Expect
Every animal needs time to adjust to a new home.

Initial fear, anxiety, or hesitation is normal

Trust builds with patience, routine, and consistency

Behaviour improves with love, security, and time
We encourage adopters to remain patient and understanding during this transition.
