My name is Gita*A Pet with Perks*!

Gita is not a mixed breed pup 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.

Gita is a sole survivor of her litter who was found as a wee little pup outside a place of worship all alone and scared. A kind animal lover rescued her just in time and got her to the safety of a loving foster home.

Gita is a loving pup who is around 5 months old. She is a beautiful all white dog who will grow to be a perfect medium size dog under 30 pounds. With erect ears and a curled tail Gita has a sharp look of a classic IN Dog. Gita has these beautiful expressive eyes that will melt your heart.

She is really a sweet puppy and quickly attaches herself strongly to her people. She is crate trained and sleeps the whole night in it without any fuss or accidents. She is fully house broken and will let you know if she needs to go outside to do her business. She is a smart puppy, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, lie down, and drop it. Her food motivation makes teaching these things quite easy. Gita loves playing with toys and plays/chews on her toys and not on anything else. She loves to fetch and when she is tired, she will rest on the floor next to us for some cuddles. She is also leash trained and loves going on long walks and runs. Gita is quite alert and a good watch dog and will bark when she hears something outside.

Gita is truly a sweetheart but learning to trust strangers and new dogs so we looking for a family who is willing to work with her with positive reinforcement and training with treats to help build her confidence. *Gita is pet with perks*. - To brush up on Gita's obedience and socialization skills we have enrolled her into a formal obedience training and boarding program (worth $600) with a reputable trainer. See Gita's training video on her profile. She is doing well at learning basic commands and heal walking. Anyone adopting Gita will get a customized training video and notes to continue her training at home. We are looking for an experienced, active family who will be able to continue her training and socialization at home. We will provide support to help transition Gita into her new home. Our trainer is also always available to help with the ongoing training and support.

Gita needs a quite but active and experienced family with structured routine who is dedicated to providing her exercise, training and socialization.

She has received all her vaccinations on proper schedule and is fully vaccinated, dewormed and current on her flea, tick and heart worm preventative. Gita is also microchipped and has blood and stool test reports and an International Health Certificate.

Gita is being fostered in Bloomfield NJ.

IN (Indian Native) Dog, Desi (meaning local in Hindi) Dog 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 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. Its origin
dates back 12,000 to 15,000 years – older than any other breed. This is a natural breed of dog is “pure” in a true sense of the word as they are 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. 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.

IN Dogs 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 runs. Like most active and intelligent breeds, IN Dogs tend to be happier when they receive a great deal of mental stimulation and exercise.

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. They are normally cheerful dogs and they tend to be calmer and more sensitive to changes in their environment, owner's moods, or to unexpected noises, people, and activities. The social sensitivity of an IN Dog makes them very trainable and easier to live with for the average pet owner, but it also means that extensive socialization from an early age is critical. Proper socialization of an IN Dog puppy includes exposing the animal to a wide variety of people and places, particularly during the first three-six months of life.

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 protective of their family. IN Dogs are alert and will bark only when necessary; 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.
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 dog like the Australian Dingo.

In the last couple of years we have rescued, rehabilitated and found homes for over 200 IN Dogs in the U.S. and Canada.
