Adoption guide
7-step guide to adopting a stray dog
Indie dogs are resilient, affectionate, and adaptive companions. Here’s how to adopt responsibly.
Confirm the dog is not owned
Check with neighbours or local groups to ensure the dog is truly unowned, not a community dog.
Assess temperament
Friendly or young dogs adapt more easily. Dogs in established packs may be better left in their environment.
Build trust gradually
Offer food, squat at their level, avoid sudden movements, and let them approach in their own time.
Veterinary examination
Vaccinations, deworming, and treatment for tick-borne illness, mange, and malnutrition are essential.
Prepare the home
Create a dedicated space with bowls, collar, leash, bedding, and toys before bringing them home.
Establish routine
Consistent walks, feeding times, and play help the dog adapt and feel secure in the new home.
Basic training
House training, sit, stay, and recall first. Consult a behaviourist if past trauma shapes behaviour.
Humane education
Environmental habits we teach young people
Students are encouraged to become custodians, not conquerors, of nature.
Keep neighbourhood parks, lakes, and public spaces clean
Minimise plastic consumption in daily life
Practise recycling, reuse, and waste reduction
Dispose garbage only at designated locations
Refrain from throwing wrappers from moving vehicles
Switch off unused lights to conserve electricity
