A shopping mall in Malad became the first in the city to hold a puppy adoption drive and managed to get seven puppers their forever homes. NGO Stray Happy Animal Foundation, which organised the event in collaboration with Inorbit Mall, said the location was chosen as the footfall there was high, thus increasing the chances for the puppies to get adopted. The event started with 39 puppies around 2 pm on Saturday and by night, seven of the dogs were adopted. 

The camp saw around 1,000 visitors, of whom around 380 registered to adopt a dog. Kids who visited the mall were also allowed to play with the puppies. One of the organisers said the event was a success as not many adopt strays after seeing online posts.
