My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chanda is not mixed breed pup but a pure IN (Indian Native) dog also known as Pariah Dog or Desi Dog who was rescued from the streets of India. Please scroll at the bottom to get more information on this breed.

Chanda, meaning ’Moon’ in Hindi is a beautiful all white female IN pup with a pink nose and brown eyes. She is a very special pup who is a survivor. She had caught a deadly Distemper virus in a shelter in India as a little pup, most dog do not survive it but little Chanda not only fought this disease but is now healthy, strong and ready for her new home. Please read her rescue story at the bottom.

Chanda is 2 years old dog who is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and current on her flea, tick and heart worm preventative. She is completely house trained, crate trained and knows basic commands. Chanda is good with kids, dogs as well as cats. She is very loving and loyal and loves being hugged and kissed. A big snuggle bunny who loves to lay next to and on you and just relax. She is a very sweet, easy going, low key, low maintenance pup. She is easy to groom and does not shed much. Chanda LOVES long walks and walks well on a leash. She does not chew up anything and can be left unsupervised in the house while you are at work. She is a little wary of new people, but warms up rather quickly. She would be great for anyone looking for a medium energy dog. Chanda would do great in an apartment too. If you are looking for a easy going loving dog Chanda is a dog for you.
Chanda's Foster Mom says" I don't understand why Chanda has not been snapped up yet, she is the most trouble free, issue free dog I've ever had. She brings me much joy and laughter with her sweet temperament and would be a wonderful, stress free addition to any family.

Chanda Says: I’m a happy pup and I have a lot of love to give to a patient, loving family who will love me as much as I would love them. After everything I’ve been through - can you open your heart and welcome me in your loving home?

Chanda is being fostered in Monroe Twp, NJ. We are offering reduced adoption fees for Chanda so that she finds a good home soon.
Please contact Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting our little Moon.

Please read Chanda's Rescue story below-
We rescued Chanda from a deplorable, overcrowded shelter in New Delhi, India. Most of the pups who came to this shelter would die from catching an infection due to lack of vaccination and hygiene. So when we heard of a pup on our street was taken to this shelter when he was hit by a car we rushed to get him. Sadly this pup had succumbed to his injuries but we could not walk out of the shelter without rescuing another dog. As we were passing by, a little pup caught our attention when she stuck her paw out of the cage to touch us, when we took her paw she licked our hand and it was easy to decide that she is the one going home with us.

Unfortunately, Chanda had already caught the deadly Distemper virus at the shelter and would have certainly died if she stayed there any longer. We immediately started her treatment and she saw a Vet everyday twice a day for six weeks. After intensive treatment Chanda survived but displays the classic after effect of Distemper which is bobbing of the head. She looks like a rapper chewing a gum :) However no way does this affect her personality, she is one lively, happy pup who has bounced back and ready for her new home.
Her forehead also slightly twitches and she has bad teeth, which is common in dogs who had distemper. She is not special needs, she only needs regular teeth brushing. While her teeth will never be "normal", we can certainly keep as much as the tartar away with regular brushing. And her head twitch doesn't present an issue, for her or anyone else.


Any family who is looking for a easy going, sweet pup will be very happy with Chanda.

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.

We have successfully rescued, rehabilitated and fond homes close to 200 IN dogs throughout the Northeast United States and more recently in the West coast.
