When it comes to love, loyalty, affection and fun, indie dogs stand at the par with other breed dogs. These Indian mongrels are highly affectionate, energetic and loyal. But the stigma from which these mongrels go through in our society is definitely misplaced and unjustified. To break it, we need to reach out to these much needy dogs.

There are many reasons to love these super amazing dogs, but before unfolding the many layers of their qualities, it’s good to know what mongrels are.

What Are Mongrels?

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”Inter Regular||||||||” text_font_size=”16px”]

Mongrels are mixed breed dogs or mutt. They don’t belong to one particular breed which is officially recognized. Their origin is mysterious as nobody knows where they came from and what is their origin.

Their estimate number in the world is 150 million and 30 million only in India.

1. Discourage Unhealthy Dog Breeding Practices 

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”Inter Regular||||||||” text_font_size=”16px”]

The first and foremost aspect we, at iAdopt, would like to emphasize is the unhealthy practices involved in dog breeding.

Breeding dogs has become a large business in India. Often, the dogs in such breeding places are kept in an extremely nasty and unforgiving environment without and love, attention or healthcare. Unfortunately, the poor animal protection laws and regulation against animal abuse in India make is easy as pie for most dog breeders to get away with such heinous acts.

If you are a dog lover, you would strive to discourage such practice. Hence, as a dog lover and a good citizen, you can contribute to the wellness of dogs and the downfall of this cruel industry by adopting a gorgeous Indian mongrel dog!
