Fearing legal action, the facility’s owner submitted a consent form to the police, releasing the animals to PETA India, while agreeing not to keep any other dogs in the facility.
“We are grateful to Thane-Rural Police for taking prompt action to save these dogs,” said Dr Rashmi Gokhale, manager, Veterinary Services, PETA India. “We urge everyone looking for a sitter to choose a trusted friend or relative for their dog, and when seeking help from a boarding facility, to visit, to obtain references and to make sure It is essential that your dog will not be held captive or otherwise abused,” she said.
Senior Thane-Rural Police officer Dinesh Katke along with animal rights activists led the operation at the pet feeding facility. The three rescued dogs are currently undergoing medical examination and are being treated at a veterinary unit in Mumbai.

Common diseases found in purebred dogs include breathing problems, cancer, heart disease, bleeding disorders, skeletal malformations and eye problems. In contrast, Indian community dogs are healthier and stronger.
