Project Duration : 4 Days

Millions of animals are currently in shelters and foster homes awaiting adoption.

With an estimated 79.9 million homeless cats and dogs in the country living in shelters or streets, India has the highest relinquishment level compared to countries like the US, China, and Germany, a report by Mars Petcare India said on Thursday. Mars Petcare India, in partnership with an advisory board of leading animal welfare experts, released 'State of Pet Homelessness Index' report, identifying contributing factors in India.
