A stray dog named Adishi was rescued in Thane, Maharashtra, after being trapped in a plastic jar for a week. Local resident Kaeed Kachwala contacted the Plant & Animals Welfare Society, who coordinated with civic authorities. The dog, now recovering, highlights the importance of plastic recycling and animal welfare.

In Maharashtra's Thane district, a week-long ordeal for a stray dog ended in a heartwarming rescue. Adishi, the canine in question, found itself trapped, unable to free its head from a plastic jar.

Local resident Kaeed Kachwala noticed the dog's distress and promptly reached out to the Plant & Animals Welfare Society (PAWS) via social media. Responding to the call for help, PAWS founder Dr. Nilesh Bhanage coordinated with civic authorities to dispatch a rescue team.

On Sunday, a team of five rescuers skillfully removed the jar from Adishi's head, and the dog was taken to a veterinary center for treatment. PAWS used the occasion to remind the public of the critical need to provide water for stray animals during dry spells and to reduce plastic usage.
