Meet sweet Seema your new Running Partner!
Seema is an athletic, intelligent, sweet dog with a gorgeous red coat and a dark brown muzzle. She is absolutely beautiful!. At only seven months of age she is already a phenomenal running partner; she can run next to a person and keep up to your pace. She knows how to walk on a leash, too, and she is learning to heal to her walking companion's commands.

Seema is a very affectionate dog who likes all people including young children and strangers. However she will chase a cat so a home with no cats would be best. Seema is friendly with dogs she knows but reacts to unknown dogs on the leash. We are working on her leash reactivity by positive training with the treats. We are also working on housebreaking and crate training. Seema is smart and food motivated and hence easy to train. We are looking for a home who would be dedicated to providing her with a structured lifestyle and continued training. She is quite playful and loves playing catch in the yard.
Seema has all of her shots and deworming and also spayed. Seema has traveled to the U.S. with an International Health Certificate, Vaccination record and a blood and stool test report.

Seema would be a fantastic addition to an energetic family that enjoys running, hiking, or other outdoor sports.

Seema is available for adoption in Alexandria VA.
Please email Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an Adoption application.

Seema's Rescue story-
Seema was born in early November 2013 on a New Delhi street and is one of seven pups in her litter. Her mother was extremely dedicated to their survival, and she fed her pups for several weeks without leaving their side. As the puppies grew, neighborhood residents supplemented their growth with food, shelter, and human interaction. After they began to walk, the pups were fostered by an American in the neighborhood and supported by other caring community members.

Information on IN Dog breed:
Desi (Local) or IN (Indian Native) or Pariah Dog is a pure, ancient, indigenous dog of India that abounds the Indian streets. A long time ago, and 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 domestic 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 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. This is a natural breed of dog that is pure in a true sense and is 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. 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.

Desi 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 weight about 28-50 pounds (12 – 22 kgs). With pointed ears, a wedge-shaped head and a tail that curls over its back, an IN Dog is similar in appearance to other prehistoric dogs like the Australian Dingo.

In the last two years we were able to rescue, rehabilitate and find homes for over 180 IN dogs in the U.S. and Canada.
