MEET RAIBA – OUR GENTLE GIANT IS READY FOR HIS FOREVER HOME! 🐾🏡

Sometimes, all it takes is a few people noticing an animal in need to change his life. ❤️

Raiba, a beautiful Great Dane, was spotted by several people on Sus–Nande Road. Atreyee during her feeding drive, Chandni on her office commute, and others passing by had all noticed him.

When we decided to step in, Vikram, Atreyee and Aniket came forward to help with his rescue. Raiba was safely brought to our facility in our animal ambulance. 🚑

Our plan was to get him neutered and find him a loving home. But during his medical examination, we discovered something unexpected. An X-ray revealed a metal pin stuck inside his jaw!

Raiba underwent both his neutering surgery and pin removal surgery at Tranquil Paws. After treatment and recovery, this handsome boy is now healthy, happy and ready to find his forever family! ❤️‍🩹✨

Now comes the most important part of his journey — finding him a home. 🏡💙

Raiba was happy and settled on the streets, and we respect that he knows his surroundings. But we would love to give him a chance at a life filled with the comfort, safety and affection of a loving family.

If we are unable to find him a suitable home, we may have to release him back to the streets he knows. But before that, we want to do everything we can to find this gentle giant a family of his own.

Raiba (Great Dane)
Male
Approx 3-4 Years
Neutered. Vaccinated. Dewormed.
Healthy. Good with other dogs, humans and kids.

🐶 Can you open your heart and home to Raiba?

If you have the space, time and commitment to welcome a Great Dane into your life, please consider adopting him. And if adoption isn't possible, please share this post. His family could be just one share away!

📩 DM us to know more about adopting Raiba.

Let's turn his rescue story into a beautiful adoption story. Raiba deserves a chance at a happy ending!

Some stories don't end with rescue. They begin there. ❤️

Bhimsen was rescued from the streets of Pashan after being chased and attacked by community dogs.

Arya was rescued after being left tied to a fence for two days with no food, water or shelter.

Two Pitbulls.
Two difficult beginnings.
Two dogs waiting for someone to choose them.

Then we received a lead from Mou Basak The good part was she did all the homework :) it was a good lead.

After speaking with Mr. Vichare and getting to know the family, we felt that they could be the right home for our two Pitbulls.

And then came the part that made this adoption truly special.

The Vichare family was ready to adopt both Bhimsen and Arya. ❤️

It is rare to find a family willing to open their home to two Pitbulls, especially two dogs who had already been through so much.

Today, we are incredibly happy to share that Bhimsen and Arya are both adopted and are now in their forever home with the Vichare family.

From the streets and a fence…To a family and a home.

This is exactly why we rescue.
Happy forever, Bhimsen & Arya.

And thank you, Vichare family, for giving both of them a second chance.

She had been tied to this fence for two days. 💔

There was nothing around her.

No food.
No water.
No shelter.

Arya, a female Pitbull, had been left tied to a fence and was forced to spend days outside, exposed to the rain.

We strongly suspect that she may have been abandoned after being used for breeding.

Roma Das reported this to us. She stayed with the dog and waited for us to reach this location.. When our rescue coordinator Aniket reached her, she was understandably scared and unsure of people. Instead of rushing her, he patiently spent time with her and slowly gained her trust.

Once she was comfortable, we rescued her and brought her safely to our facility.

We named her Arya.

We got her the care she needed, had her neutered and began looking for a family who would give her the love and security she had been denied.

Arya had spent enough time being treated as if she didn't matter.

Now, we wanted her to know what it feels like to be loved. ❤️

Her journey towards a better life had begun. 🐾

He was being chased and attacked just for trying to survive. 💔

We received information about a male Pitbull roaming around Pashan. He was being chased and attacked by community dogs and was already in a bad state.

It was the middle of summer, and the heat made things even harder for him. He was exhausted, scared and had nowhere safe to go.

As soon as we came to know about him, we rescued him and brought him to our facility.

We named him Bhimsen.

Once he was safe, we started working on his recovery and got him neutered. With proper food, care and a safe place to stay, Bhimsen slowly started feeling better.

He had survived the streets. Now, all he needed was a family.

So we put Bhimsen up for adoption and started looking for the right home for him. ❤️

His journey from being chased on the streets to finding safety had begun. 🐾

Vinya’s journey from pain to recovery ❤️‍🩹🐾

Vinya was reported to us from Laman Tanda, Pashan, with a severe wound on his chest. The wound had become badly infected, with pus and infection spreading across his entire chest area.

When we found him, Vinya was in constant pain and kept crying for help. 💔

As soon as the case was reported to us, we took him to Tranquil Paws Veterinary Clinic for primary treatment. After that, he was brought to our facility, where we continued his treatment, wound care, good food and recovery.

It took a couple of months of constant care, patience and treatment few visits to Tranquil Paws Veterinary Clinic but Vinya slowly started getting better.

Today, we are extremely happy to say that Vinya has completely recovered. ❤️

We dropped him back at his original location, and the happiest part was seeing the people who had been taking care of him welcome him back with so much happiness.

From crying in pain to returning home healthy and happy.. Vinya’s journey was truly worth every effort. 🐾❤️

Welcome back, Vinya!

🐾 From Shirrah to Suii... a beautiful journey to her forever home ❤️

Shirrah came to us when she was just 2 months old, a tiny, happy, healthy and super-fun Persian kitten. 🐱❤️

We brought her to our facility and started looking for the perfect family for her. But after a few failed adoptions, Shirrah kept coming back to us. With Persian cats being particularly delicate and needing extra care, it was becoming increasingly difficult for us to manage everything she needed.

Thankfully, one of our wonderful volunteers stepped forward and agreed to foster Shirrah. We also got her neutered at Tranquil Paws.

But Shirrah had one very special requirement, she absolutely loved people, attention, pampering and being showered with love! 🥰

So, we were determined to find her a family that could give her exactly that.

And then, things fell perfectly into place. ❤️

One of our known families approached us looking to adopt a cat. We shared Shirrah’s pictures with them, secretly hoping they would say yes.

And they did! 🥹❤️

Today, Shirrah is happily settled with the Qureshi family, where she has been renamed Suii by Bubba.

And the two of them? Absolutely inseparable! 🐾❤️

From a little kitten who kept coming back from failed adoptions to finally finding the family who was meant for her..Shirrah’s story reminds us why we never give up on finding the right home.

Welcome to your forever home, Suii. May you always be loved, pampered and spoiled. ❤️🐱

While returning to our facility, our van driver spotted a dog in Pachane village who was in terrible condition. He had lost one ear and had a huge maggot-infested wound on his head.

We immediately brought him to our facility and started his treatment. With regular wound care, proper medication, good food, and lots of love and care, Shambhu started recovering.

Within a few days, the change was incredible ❤️

Today, we are happy to share that Shambhu is completely healed and back at his location. He is healthy, happy, and ready to get back to his normal life.

One rescue, one life saved, one more reason to keep going. 🙏

This is why we rescue. This is why we care. ❤️🐾

Kali’s journey ❤️

Kali was found lying helpless in the rain in Shirgaon. Srinath ji spotted her and requested some locals to help. They agreed, and he hoped she would be taken care of.

But a few days later, when Srinath ji happened to pass through the same place, he was shocked to see her lying in the exact same spot, still getting drenched in the rain, and her condition had worsened.

He immediately reported her case to us. We picked Kali up in our van, kept her for the night and then took her to Tranquil Paws, where her initial treatment was started. She had injuries to her spine and hind legs and could barely lift them.

We brought her to our facility, where she spent months receiving treatment, care, patience and lots of love. ❤️

Once she had healed well, we took her to Karma Foundation for neutering. During the process, we came to know that Kali was also suffering from tick fever. We immediately started her treatment and waited until she was completely healthy again.

Once she recovered, her neutering was finally done at CCC

And today, after months of care and recovery, we are so happy to see Kali back at her original location—healthy, happy and full of life. 🐾❤️

From lying helpless in the rain to returning home healed and protected, Kali’s journey is a reminder that sometimes all they need is someone to notice, someone to care, and someone who refuses to give up.

Welcome back, Kali. ❤️

Thank you to Srinath ji, Tranquil Paws, Karma Foundation, CCC and everyone who played a part in her journey.
