What it was like in the first weeks, in the adopters' own words.
Kalu was nine and had been at the shelter the longest. I wanted a dog who would walk slowly with me in the evening. He has arthritis and takes a supplement every day, which they told me about before I signed anything. We walk to the beach most days.
We went to see one kitten and the other two were in the same box, so we took two. Pushpa is the loud one. The shelter asked us to net the balcony first, so we did that before they came home.
Daisy came from Kochi Paws in January. She slept under the dining table for the first three nights and now will not leave the verandah. The shelter did a home visit before we took her and rang twice afterwards to ask how she was doing.
