When you meet Monk today, a healthy and happy Labrador, it’s almost impossible to imagine the heartbreaking journey he had to endure before finding his forever home. His story is one of survival, hope, and the incredible difference adoption can make in a dog’s life.
Rescued From Neglect
Monk was born into a life of cruelty. His mother was repeatedly bred by a local backyard breeder who neglected and abused her. A compassionate volunteer in the area tried to rescue Monk’s mother but faced threats from the man. Sadly, the mother passed away due to neglect.
Every day, the volunteer saw little Monk—lonely, growing weaker, and struggling to survive. Then, one rainy evening, Monk managed to escape. Soaked and shivering, he sat near a chai tapri. That was the momen
Starting a New Life
Monk was brought into foster care through RehomingTails. He was severely malnourished, suffering from fever and tick fever, but his gentle Labrador nature never wavered. We had already arranged a foster-to-adopt family for him, and soon he found himself in a loving home.
Challenges Along the Way
The family adored Monk, but there was one big hurdle, their resident cat simply couldn’t adjust to the new Labrador puppy. Despite trying every trick in the book, the conflicts continued, and it seemed like Monk might need another home.
But by then, Monk had already stolen their hearts.
Letting him go wasn’t an option.

A Forever Home Found
Instead of giving up, the family made an incredible decision. They moved into a larger home just down the lane. Monk now lives happily with his dad, while the cats stay with mom. This way, everyone has space, love, and peace.
Monk’s story is more than just a happy ending, it's a reminder of why dog adoption changes lives. Rescuing a dog not only saves them from neglect but also brings unconditional love and joy into a family.
If you’re considering welcoming a furry friend, choose adoption. Just like Monk, there are countless dogs in India waiting for a second chance.
