As we all know, every adoption camp is held to find loving homes for
stray animals. The Blue Cross Society of
Pune takes initiative in organizing such camps. After almost 3 months, it
held its second adoption camp on 6th May, 2012 at Law College Road. After the pre-event meeting on the 5th of may 2012, where the volunteers
discussed the venue, the right place was decided on. There were around 35 pups
and kittens up for adoption. Most of the pups belonged to the FTII campus where
they had been fostered and now brought to the camp. Apart from this, many other
fosters brought their pups and kittens for adoption.

With our volunteers making a few last-minute preparations, the camp
was all set before the arrival of fosters
and their pets. To avoid the summer
heat we decided to organize the camp in an area out of the sun and under some
shade. Accordingly, canal road, was chosen as it was convenient for fosters to
travel with their pets. When the fosters arrived at the camp they were pleased to
see the efficient arrangements. A help
desk was set up to assist visitors with queries. There was a booth where
volunteers guided adopters about necessary forms and documents. There were two
enclosures, one with pups and another with kittens. The Blue Cross merchandise booth sold ‘The Doodle Factory’ products consisting of fridge magnets,
postcards, coasters, bags, mugs, bookmarks, t-shirts, and stamps. Around a 100
people attended the Mela. Many kind
people donated for the good cause. The shutterbugs were all over the place
capturing innumerable beautiful moments. We also welcomed an Iskcon representative
who came to witness the event. ( Iskcon is

Volunteers with Pups for Adoption!
The day ended with 10 pups
and 4 kittens being adopted by some
amazing people. Everyone was contented with the day’s accomplishments. Finally,
all the non-adopted pups and kittens were sent to their respective shelters.
The volunteers wrapped up the camp and called it a day.
The animals that weren’t adopted on that day, have other camps in
store for them. So no worries!
NOTE : The next day, the event was promptly featured in the DNA
newspaper, promoting the welfare of animals.
