My story

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

Brownie is not a mixed breed dog 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.

Brownie was born in a village outside of Delhi. She was cared by a very kind Australian lady called Kathy and extremely lucky to get to an opportunity to fly to the U.S. for a chance at adoption.

Brownie is around 18 months old beautiful female IN dog who is extremely intelligent and independent thinking dog. She is also very sweet, loving and submissive. She is a calm dog who is very relaxed, well-mannered and gentle. She has a beautiful golden brown color coat and matching gold/ brown expressive eyes. She walks great on the leash right next to you without pulling. She loves going on long walks after which she is quite contend to simply lay in her bed and relax while you are at work. She is a very good girl who does not need to be crated as she has passed the puppy stage and hence does not get into trouble. She is good when left alone in the house unattended. She learning to play with toys and enjoys chewing on the bone. Brownie is a little on the shy side but warms up within minutes and will bond very strongly to you. She is great with all people she meets including children. She is good with other dogs and shy and submissive but comes out of her shell as she gets to know them. She is curious around cats and will do just fine with cats who are used to dogs. In fact her best friend is a tiny kitten called Baby Girl who was also rescued from India. Baby Girl is an orphaned 4 week old kitten that Brownie Mother’s all the time. They hang out all day and play together and sleep all cuddled up in the same bed. They were in a same foster home in India and very lucky to find a foster home in the U.S. who decided to keep them together. It would be great if someone adopts the two together as their bond is so precious. Please see Baby Girls profile on the cat section.

Brownie is healthy, fully vaccinated and spayed. She has an International Health Certificate, a blood test report and a vaccination record.

Brownie and Baby Girl are being fostered in a wonderful foster home in Natick MA where she lives with kids and a dog. Brownie would be a great companion for any family looking for a mellow, loving, loyal and obedient dog.

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 last couple of years we have successfully rescued, rehabilitated and found homes for close to 200 IN dogs throughout the Northeast United States and more recently in the West coast.
