My name is Dosti- Indian Pariah pup!

Dosti is a Indian Pariah dog aka Indian Native/Desi dog who was rescued from the streets of India and flown to the U.S. for a chance at adoption. Please scroll at the bottom to get details on this breed.

Dosti - pronounced 'dough-stee' and means 'friendship' in Hindi. She is a female IN pup around 8 months of age.
Dosti is shy, sensitive but loving pup who takes her time to get to know new people. But she is fond of kids and easily trusts them! Her foster Mom mentions that she loves her kids..follows them around and prefers to even sleep besides them. She loves to be held and very happy to receive attention from the kids. While in India Dosti lived with multiple dogs in her foster home and seems happiest around dogs who will play and not dominate her. So we are looking for a home with another friendly and confident dog who will show Dosti the ropes and help her come out of her shell around strangers. We need a family committed to help Dosti grow to be a confident dog that she can be through love, patience, training and socialization. She is a smart pup who is learning basic commands. Dosti is a gentle pup who is not at all destructive or rowdy. She is crate trained but no trouble at all if left unsupervised outside of her crate. She is leash trained and enjoys off leash play in a fenced yard with the kids and her doggy friends. Likes to play chase and tag. She is fully house trained and stays in her bed when alone at home without getting into any trouble. Loves chasing squirrels and bunnies in the yard and lounging in the sun. Curious about anything new her foster family does. Imitates her doggy friends and gets along very well with shy or friendly dogs alike. Dosti is so lovable,gentle and kind. She is also lovingly called Reindeer as she looks like a deer and runs like one too.

Dosti was born near the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India. Two kind Americans from the U.S. Embassy who daily fed local stray dogs fell in love with Dosti's loving personality and decided to rescue her. They contacted our rescue with a request to find a loving home for sweet Dosti in the U.S. so Dosti got a chance to fly here.

Dosti is a healthy dog who is up to date on all vaccinations and also microchipped. She has a blood and stool test reports and an International Health Certificate.

Dosti is being fostered in East Brunswick, NJ. Please email Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an Adoption application.

Information on the Indian Native Dog breed:
IN (Indian Native), Desi (Local) or Pariah Dog is a pure, ancient, indigenous dog of India that abounds the Indian streets. A long time ago, thousands of years before the arrival of modern pure breeds, a race of dogs much like this one inhabited the Indian subcontinent. These were the very first domesticated dogs and Man's earliest animal companions. It has evolved entirely through natural selection without human intervention of any kind resulting into a very hardy, extremely intelligent, alert and independent thinking dog.

This is a natural breed of dog that is pure in a true sense and how nature intended a dog to be; hence they are way superior to the artificially developed man made breeds that we call pure breeds today. Its origin dates back 12,000 to 15,000 years – older than any other breed. This is a natural primitive breed which is a direct descendant of the early domesticated dogs. These dogs are found to be genetically healthy with no known genetic diseases and a very strong immune system. They are perfectly adapted for survival; a free-roaming life on the street for these dogs is always difficult and often hostile and hence requires high order of intelligence, quick and independent thinking to survive. On the streets it is the survival of the fittest, usually out of a litter some will get run over by cars while others will succumb to hunger and malnutrition. Only the most hardiest and intelligent ones will survive to produce off springs. When this survivor is adopted as a Pet, their owners are often awe struck with their beauty, grace, intelligence, loyalty and hardiness.

They are highly adaptable, quick learners and versatile and are known to be even smarter and definitely calmer than the intelligent Border Collies. They are very agile and excel at many dog sports such as agility and also make great jogging/running companions and can be even faster than Grey Hounds. While active outdoors, they are usually very calm and quiet indoors. They have tremendous stamina and hence need an active family who will take them for a daily brisk walks or a run.
IN Dogs are sensitive by nature and do not respond well to harsh training methods and hence need an even tempered, gentle but firm and loving owner who knows how to calmly and consistently communicate the rules of the house.
These dogs love children and are known to have a calm and gentle demeanor around them. They bond strongly with their people and make an excellent family pet that is very loving, loyal and intelligent. These dogs do not bark much but are always alert; they are friendly yet wary of strangers and make good watch dogs.

IN Dogs are low maintenance dog as they are generally very healthy and like to stay clean; they hardly shed and have virtually no doggy odor. Their smooth, fine short hair coat is easy to groom. They have an all-weather coat that allows them to easily adapt to different weather conditions.
A well-looked after pet IN dog will rarely need to see a vet and may live a healthy life of up to the age of 12 – 16 years.

This is a medium size dog with an average height of 20-25 inches (51-64 cms) at the shoulder and generally weigh about 28-55 pounds (12 – 22 kgs).
They are found in all colors and variation with erect or floppy ears; however, a typical IN Dog usually will have erect ears, a wedge-shaped head and a tail that curls over its back. Most IN Dogs are similar in appearance to other prehistoric dogs like the Australian Dingos.

In the few couple of years, we have successfully rescued, rehabilitated and found homes over 300 IN dogs throughout the Northeast United States and more recently in the West coast.
