My name is Badger* Cat friendly!

Since the day Badger was born he had a rough life. He was born on the streets of India. All his littermates got run over by cars and died. As a 8 week old pup Badger was trying to survive when a car ran over him too that severed his toes of his hind leg. But even with few missing toes Badger could run and walk looking for food. Then his luck changed and a lady rescued him off the streets and flew him to the U.S. for adoption. Now sadly after having Badger for 8 yrs his family surrendered him back to our rescue. Badger needs a quite home asap where he can spend rest of his golden years. His current foster cannot hold him much longer as it is not a right place for Badger. He is feeling lost and confused after loosing his family and needs a special home that will be patient and understanding.

Badger loves attention, being around people and getting his belly rubbed. He also loves giving doggie kisses. He is very happy while chewing on his bones- especially bully sticks. He rides so nicely in cars; loves the front seat, so that he can watch everything and get some pets from the driver.
He was not socialized with other dogs so is afraid of them. But he seems to want to make friends with bigger females dogs who are calm and friendly. Badger is not a confident dog at all. He is very sensitive and needs time to adjust to new places and people. A perfect home for Badger would be a quite home, adults only home where someone is home most of the day. He can be an only pet or live with friendly bigger and calmer dog or a cat.
Badger does not ask for much. He sleeps most of the day but also loves going on walks and lounging with his family.
Badger is around 8 years old. He is a perfect medium size dog weighs less than 40 pounds.
He is healthy, neutered and fully vaccinated. He recently got a clean bill from the Vet based on his blood work. He has a beautiful soft red/brown color short no maintenance coat.

Because of his age poor Badger has been overlooked by people. In an effort to find a good home for Badger soon we are offering a reduced adoption fees. If you have it in your heart to give this dog a forever home 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 dogs 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. They easily adapt to the winters in the Northeast America and love the snow.
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 15–18 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 eight years, we have successfully rescued, rehabilitated and found homes over 500 IN dogs throughout the Northeast United States and the West coast.
