My name is Rupee*A pet with Perks*!

Rupee is not a mixed breed dog 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.

Rupee is two years old gorgeous female IN Dog who is fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She has a beautiful red and white short coat that is easy to groom. She has a healthy weight of around 45 pounds. Rupee is a smart dog who has graduated from Wilford Dog training academy with flying colors. She knows basic commands and is easy to train. She is leash trained, crate trained and fully house broken. Rupee is a sweet and loving dog who is playful and energetic and hence needs loving guidance. She loves to go on long walks and will make an excellent running/ walking partner for an active family who will take her for daily brisk walks or runs. She also likes car rides and does well on keeping a seat belt on without a problem on long car rides.
Rupee is a little shy/insecure around strangers but being around friendly and confident dogs seems to help her feel comfortable in new places and around new people. So we are looking for a quite home with no kids who has another dog preferably a male to keep Rupee company and help her build her confidence. Besides dogs Rupee also likes cats and enjoys playing with them. She is currently in a foster home where she lives with another young male IN Dog and a cat and does great with them both. Rupee is also a good watch dog; she will alert you by barking to let you know when she hears something outside. Rupee's current foster Mom is a dog trainer who will be happy to give training tips to the adoptive family to help continue her training and socialization.

*Rupee is a pet with perks*- To brush up on Rupee's obedience and socialization skills we enrolled her into a formal obedience training and boarding program (worth $1000) with a reputed trainer in NJ. The trainer says that "Rupee is sweet and listens well to commands. She is knows basic commands and heal walking". Anyone adopting Rupee 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 committed to continue her training and socialization. We will provide support to help transition Rupee into her new home. Our trainer is also always available to help with the ongoing training and support. Please see Rupee's training video in her profile.

Rupee is being fostered in Mill town NJ. Please email Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting Rupee.

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 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 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 IN dogs throughout the Northeast United States and more recently in the West coast.
