The candidates
Paresh Mehra
Candidate · mid-term cleared, stage 3 of 6“Understand the animal, respect the breed, and know the individual.”
Paresh reads a dog in layers: what every dog needs as an animal, what its breed was bred to do, and who this one dog is. Then he plans the day around that dog: the same road every day for a calm, reserved dog, a new street each day for a confident one. He lives with two black German Shepherds, Pari and BhaiSaab.

Reena Mahajan
Candidate · mid-term cleared, stage 3 of 6“When we get a car or a house, we do so much research. Why not do the same before a family member comes home for a good 10 or 15 years?”
Reena’s work starts before a dog comes home: why the family wants one, what it will cost over 10 to 15 years, the time it needs every day, whether its energy matches the family’s, the climate it will live in, and whether everyone at home is on board. When the dog is an adult from a shelter, she has families ask the right questions first, down to why the dog was given up.
