My name is Manu*URGENT*!

Manu 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.

Manu is around a year old handsome male IN Dog who is a perfect medium size dog. He has unique markings that is spotted, black and white with a fluffy curled up tail. When he was rescued he was very skinny and full of fleas and was suffering from flea dermatitis. Now Manu is healthy and happy. He weighs around 30 pounds and he has grown a beautiful healthy coat.

Manu is a very smart dog who is food motivated and hence easy to train. He is crate trained but he is not a destructive dog and does well outside the crate too. Manu is leash trained and walks nicely on the leash and loves going on long walks or a run. He is fully house broken. Manu is extremely loyal and affectionate dog who loves to cuddle with you and happily lounge on the couch with you while you watch TV. Manu is outgoing and friendly with everyone he meets. He is good with dogs but will chase cats so a home with no cats is recommended. Manu loves to play fetch, so a fenced-in yard where he can run around and play would be great for him!

Manu is healthy, fully vaccinated and neutered. He has a vaccinations record, blood test report and an International Health certificate.

Manu's rescue story-
Manu literally begged me to get him off the streets. This is the first time a dog ever pleaded for attention and love so desperately. While I was walking on the streets shopping for souvenirs he jumped on me out of no where and held on to my legs with both his front legs whining and crying so bad and refusing to let go. I spoke to him softly and told him how sorry I was as I had no food on me to offer him. I started to walk away after petting him for couple of minutes but he kept following me for few blocks and when I stopped a cab and got in, he jumped inside without hesitation and sat on my lap all the way home. I must say he is the first dog that I ever came across who rescued himself!
I decided to name him Manu which means- 'Wise Man' or 'Thinker' in Sanskrit. I think this smart dog certainly earned this name.

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 for over 200 IN dogs throughout the Northeast United States and more recently in the West coast.
