My name is Cookie Monster *URGENT*!

Cookie 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.

Cookie is around 5 months old, she is a real darling little girl. She is a bundle of energy like all pups her age,she is very active and loves going for long walks. She is a happy and social pup who is confident. She gets along well with most dogs and plays endlessly with them. She loves cuddling up and she loves to sleep all curled up to her humans. She is a smart pup who is food motivated and hence easy to train with treats. She is also leash trained and doing well on her house breaking training.

Cookie was around 2 months old when we rescued her from the streets of India. She was probably abandoned by someone as she was crying and looked totally lost and scared on the road when we saw her.....we got her home and since that day she has been a bundle of joy.

We are looking for a good loving home for sweet Cookie. An active family with experience with dogs will be best. She is a healthy, loving and curious pup who will do well in a home where she gets lots of exercise and love. Cookie loves attention and will enjoy being an only dog. She seems to do OK around cats that are used to dogs. Cookie is good around children but a home with older children will be best as Cookie gets super excited around young kids.

She has been fully vaccinated, dewormed and microchiped. She has has a blood test report and an International Health Certificate.

Cookie is being fostered in Blue Bell PA. Please email Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an adoption application.

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.
