Story
Hello! My name is Kolo, and I'm an energetic 4-year-old Indian pariah dog. I was rescued from the streets of India as a puppy and got adopted in New Jersey. Sadly, my family is not able to care for me any longer so I'm looking for a forever home where I can live rest of my life and share all my love. Here are some things you should know about me: Energetic and Active: I love daily long walks and need plenty of exercise to keep me happy and healthy. High Prey Drive: It's best to keep me in a fenced yard to ensure I don't get into any trouble chasing after small animals. So, I cannot be around small animals in the house. Smart and Trained: I know a variety of commands and am crate trained, so I'm already ahead of the game! Sensitive Soul: Due to my early life experiences, I'm very fearful of new people and other dogs. I do best as the only dog in the house. Great with Older Kids: I get along well with older children who can respect my boundaries and understand my needs. Needs a Strong Leader: I'm looking for a strong, experienced dog owner who can continue my training and help me build my confidence every day. If you think you can provide the loving, structured home I need, please contact Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an adoption application. I can't wait to meet my new family and start our adventures together!

DEXTER was originally rescued and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption before traveling to Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine, with other saved dogs. He arrived on January 28th, 2025, and has since settled in well at the rescue. Health & Background &#226&#156&#133 Neutered Rabies and core vaccines up to date Heartworm & tick disease tested – all negative On monthly flea/tick preventatives Microchipped &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight at arrival: approx. 34 lbs Estimated DOB: September 16, 2022 Cleared by the U.S. Canine Center for Diseases upon entry into the United States DEXTER’s Personality Confident once he feels safe and secure Affectionate and loving — gives great snuggles Friendly and social with other dogs Exposed to cats in Oman (hasn’t been around cats since arriving in the U.S.) Rides well in the car Leash trained and enjoys walks What DEXTER Needs ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 An active and engaging lifestyle to keep him happy and healthy High-quality food, treats, and toys Regular veterinary care and wellness checks A family that understands his international background — new sights, smells, and experiences may take time to adjust to, so patience and compassion are essential DEXTER’s Story In January 2023, DEXTER and his sister were rescued as young pups from a dangerous, high-traffic area near hotel complexes in Oman, where stray dogs are often at risk of being run over or shot. Thankfully, they were taken in by Muscat Dog Adoption Rescue. His sister was adopted, but with no local interest in Oman, DEXTER was selected to travel to Maine to find his forever family. Stray dogs in Oman are affectionately known as “Wadi Dogs” — a unique and elegant mix of breeds such as Saluki, whippet, and other desert-adapted sighthounds. Without rescue, many face heartbreaking fates.
