The feedback of our <a href=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/q12022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revival edition: Q1-2022<\/a>&nbsp;has been overwhelming and I would like to thank all of you who were kind enough to take the time to provide it.<\/p>\n<p>Pardon the overtly enthusiastic, long and verbose Q1 newsletter. The opportunity to finally be of some use had been so overwhelming that I had seized it by the scruff of its thick neck and got lost in its many flabby folds like it were that of a mastiff or a basset hound. So let me make this one snappy &#8211; like a good old homebrewed Indie &#8211; as you know we Indies economise on neck folds, or for that matter everything &#8211; it is a survival thing.<\/p>\n<p>The Apr-May-Jun has been a cracker of a quarter for us with loads of things happening, and as always it was a challenge to pick the best of them for you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-size ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Capt Sundaram Birthday.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p>On April 22nd we celebrated our founder<b>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/V._Sundaram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Captain Sundaram&#8217;s<\/a> 106th birth anniversary<\/b>. Captain Sundaram famously flew <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vallabhbhai_Patel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sardar Patel<\/a>&nbsp;around the country during&nbsp;the integration of princely states with the Union of India. While that may have been important, he did something else that forever changed the landscape for many of us &#8211; when he saw two pups struggling to stay afloat in the flooded roads of T. Nagar, he took them home. Soon other injured, sick and animals in distress joined them and his Bazulla Road home became an animal shelter. Initially called the Animal Aid Association (AAA), it became 5 years later the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blue_Cross_of_India\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blue Cross of India<\/a>, with a mission to care for, bring awareness and change human attitude and legislation in support of the voiceless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/TGIDS Judges.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">On April 24th we had our signature Indie dog show <b>The Great Indian Dog Show (TGIDS)<\/b> at Phoenix Market City, Velachery after a break of two years.

On that count, this year it was resounding with a whopping 94 Indie adoptions in just 3 hours &#8211; that&#8217;s one adoption every 2 minutes.&nbsp;Even as many little ones found homes, we had 86 of my own brothers and sisters walking the ramp. We had over 5000 visitors at the show and celebrity guests (<a href=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/#tnt\">read all about it here<\/a>).

to pain when our team set to rescue Abhirami a couple of months back. She was covered with oozing sores, crusty, thin skin, and was severely infected and malnourished. Mange ravaged her, causing scabs, and open wounds, making her wince every time someone touched her. Mange seemed to have taken away the playful light in her eyes, \u00a0her appetite for food, and unfortunately her hope for life itself.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Even when this darling girl was in excruciating pain, she was gentle and limply submitted, complying with every move we made, not because she was cheerfully willing but because she seemed to have lost her innate resistance. We immediately brought her to our shelter and treated her with many medicated baths and equally essential feedings \u2013 all part of the road to survival from mange.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/M135_Before.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It was hurting to see her fear.

She steeled herself to stand quietly during her medicated mange baths. Her eyes grew softer. And a little paw reached up at the end of a bath!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Little by little, our incredibly introverted girl started to grow. Not just a new coat of gorgeous fur, but a heart ready to love.

Today, I am going to share with you the story of my scar. The story of how my peaceful life turned into chaos.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It was like every morning and I was looking for some food. Unfortunately, that day I could find nothing &#8211; not even in the garbage dump. Exhausted, I nodded off on the side of my street. Woken up by a loud noise, confused, I ran in a random direction. All I knew after that was I was flung into the air and fell a few metres away. I fell unconscious, but not before I saw the tail of a motorbike disappear around the corner. The motorist did not even care to stop and left me there to die. When I came to, words cannot describe my pain.\u00a0<\/p><p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Majnu_Before.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Thankfully a good soul called the Blue Cross and I was put into an ambulance and taken to a place I had never been before. I was medicated and my fractured leg, forelimb, and open wounds were treated. My vets suggested that I should be fostered for a few more weeks. No human ever cared to pet me. But everything was different here. Lucky me, the community people\u2019s engagement healed my wounds sooner than I thought.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Trauma from the motorbike accident is going to haunt me forever. I can never run, play, or even walk on the streets the same way. But I know that I will overcome it with your help.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I see many friends coming to the Blue Cross just like me every day. I have told just one story &#8211; mine.

It\u2019s use is illegal and violates the IPC, the Environmetal (Protection) Act, Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Wildlife (Protection) Act, but its use continues due to lack of enforcement and a lasting effort to end this. Every year thousands of birds lose their lives or have permanent disabilities due to the rampant use of synthetic manja.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This crow was one of the lucky ones, though one can\u2019t but imagine its suffering and pain.

It is a skin disease caused by mites. The term is derived from the French word mangeue (to eat or itch). We dogs get afflicted with two major forms of mange &#8211; Sarcoptic (scabies) and Demodectic (red mange). The stress of street life makes my ilk on the roads more vulnerable to this disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I had it too &#8211; but thankfully, it is now just a bad memory. Properly cared for it is a treatable condition, and the proof of this is in the scores of my brethren that have been sent from our mange section back to their own streets &#8211; completely cured.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The transformers we are talking about today &#8211; Manasa, Devi, Mayuran, Vishaak, Karthick, and Sarvesh &#8211; are volunteers of Blue Cross. For several months now they have spent every weekend with the mange affected animals admitted to the BCI. The result of their incredible effort is finally beginning to have an unbelievable transformation in the lives of these dogs. In these few months I have seen first hand several unbelievable transformations as a result of their initiative. &#8211; their hard work weekend after weekend \u00a0: \u00a0catching, muzzling, washing, treating and giving the mangies medicated baths.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Transformer_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Transformer_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Transformer_3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Transformer_4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Transformer_5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-text-transform ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-c4ecf1b-word-spacing );\">So what is the secret of so many recoveries?
