The Evolution of NoMad Dog
Nomad:
"A wanderer; a member of a community that moves from place to place, typically for the purpose of following a food source."
Mad dog:
"A common name for rabies, especially the furious form."
NoMad Dog:
Our name, NoMad Dog, carries a powerful dual meaning that reflects our mission and values. First, it highlights the wandering nature of stray dogs, particularly in the Himalayan mountains of Himachal Pradesh, where our pet shop is based. Second, it references the term "mad dog," often associated with rabies, emphasizing our commitment to eradicating this deadly disease through mass vaccination and sterilization programs.
Our Mission
At NoMad Dog, our mission is to provide high-quality pet products for adventurous pets while supporting the welfare of stray animals in the Himalayan region. Every purchase directly contributes to the eradication of rabies, the sterilization of stray dogs, and the rescue and care of animals in need, helping to create a safer, healthier future for both animals and communities.
