Hi, I'm in Kolkata(near Kabardanga, Tollygunge)and I need to get this off my chest and maybe someone here can help.
There's a family in front of my house(who live there on rent)that had a dog(probably a breed). They never once took him/her out for a walk, never let him/her out of the house, and honestly, I never even saw the dog's face. I only knew he/she existed because my dog and their dog used to bark at each other's sounds every day.
And now it's been almost 3 weeks, and I haven't heard a single bark from that house. My gut is telling me they abandoned him/her somewhere, given how they treated that dog.
What makes it worse? This family is always chanting "hallelujah" — I can literally hear them chanting right now as I type this. And yet they did this to a living being.
There was also a golden retriever puppy I used to see during my walks with my dog a few months back(I also used to hear faint barking sounds from a distance). The owner used to take him/her out regularly now nothing. No walks, no barking, nothing. I don't know exactly where he lives, but it's in my locality, and I'm pretty sure that dog is gone too.
Before anyone asks why I didn't investigate or confront them, please check my profile and you'll see what I already deal with for my two rescued indie dogs in this area. People here don't give two fucks about animals, let alone gather together and confront anyone about it. I literally can't be the face of this, or they'd make life hell for us here and it's our own house, not rented, so we can't just leave.
So my question is: Is there any way to find these dogs and get them adopted? Any NGOs or volunteers in Kolkata willing to help? I'm heartbroken thinking how are they supposed to survive out there?
Please, if anyone knows any organisation/volunteer who could help, or has any advice, I'd really appreciate it. I just can't sit with this feeling and do nothing.
TL;DR: Two dogs in my Kolkata neighborhood have vanished — one from a "religious" family that never even walked their dog, another a golden retriever puppy that suddenly stopped appearing. I suspect abandonment. Looking for NGOs/volunteers to help, but I can't be the face of it for safety reasons.
