Sammy's rescue story-

Sammy had a sad start in life. He was found sitting alone right outside the door of a dog boarding facility in India. He may possibly have been someone's puppy who no longer wanted him or he could have been a relocated street puppy, but whoever left him outside the boarding center must have been hoping for a better life for him. So they took him in to keep him safe away from the busy traffic.
A kind lady called Isobel who visits this place often noticed three very sweet puppies in a large kennel. One was slightly older and the other two were definitely related and smaller in size. The slightly older one (Sammy) in particular stood out because instead of continuing to play, he had stopped to look at her and put his ears back and wagged his tail as she approached the kennel. He quickly came over to greet her, was a little shy but super friendly and definitely liked human company. Couple of days later when she visited again looking at the row of smaller kennels, she came across a sweet face of puppy whose eyes met hers and instantly his ears went back and tail wagged in response to her gaze. It was Sammy! He was now on his own in a small kennel and was desperately looking for human affection amongst a sea of adult dogs. He recognized her right away and at that moment she knew that she had to rescue this sweet pup who was so sad and lonely. She saw that Sammy craves for human love and attention and would make a loving companion for a lucky family. So Sammy went home with Isobel. She contacted our rescue with a request to find sweet Sammy a loving home in the US.


Information on the Indian Pariah Dog breed:
Indian Pariah Dog, IN (Indian Native) or Desi (Local) or 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.
Indian Pariah 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.

Indian Pariah 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 14 – 18 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 over 200 Pariah dogs throughout the Northeast United States and more recently in the West coast.
