Sherry, blind stray dog from Jhansi, finds new home in US

JHANSI: Sincere efforts of an animal lover from Jhansi helped a nine-month-old blind female stray dog get a new home in Pennsylvania City of the United States after she was rescued six months ago in a deteriorating condition with burn marks all over her face.
Mini Khare, 29, who is an MBA graduate and runs an NGO named Jeev Asray Samiti, recalls how she got a rescue call from someone in February about a puppy lying in a miserable condition on Gwalior road.
Sherry was rescued in February with burn marks.
As she reached the spot along with her team members, she found a female puppy who was completely blind and had burn marks on her face. The dog, whom they later on named Sherry, was taken to a veterinary doctor and her bruises were treated.
“After Sherry recovered, the biggest worry for us was to find a home for her, as we did not have a proper shelter where she could live and be looked after,” says Mini whose love for animals inspired her to open the non-profit, Jeev Asray Samiti in 2019.
As a result, Mini started a social media campaign to find a suitable adopter. Her efforts led her to a veterinary doctor from Delhi, Dr Premlata Choudhery, who in turn, contacted one Helen Brown in Pennsylvania City, US, who runs an NGO for stray animals. Thereafter, Sherry was brought to Delhi where she was further treated and finally sent to Pennsylvania. Here, Sherry was formally adopted on Monday, and given a new and secure life. So far, Mini has rescued around 300 stray animals, all because of her soft corner for them since childhood.
