My name is Jake!

Jake is a Indian Pariah Dog aka Indian Native dog / Desi dog who was rescued from the streets of India and flown to the U.S. for a chance at adoption. Please scroll at the bottom to get details on this breed.

Jake is a handsome young Indian Pariah dog who is around 18 months old.
Jake is a high energy dog and will make an excellent running partner. He loves his daily long walks too. A good home for Jake will be a quite family with no young children who likes to be physically active and has the time to provide him daily training and exercise.

Jake is VERY smart and well trained dog. He knows all the basic commands; down, sit, stay, off, leave it (if something drops to the floor), drop it. He will stay until released, even over a long period of time. He also knows "go to Jake's bed" and wherever he is he will go lay down on his designated spot. The kids taught him paw and to go through tunnels (which is supposed to be difficult for a dog). He plays fetch very well, always bringing the ball back and dropping it.

He is house broken and has never had an accident in the house. He is also crate trained and sleeps in his crate at nights and for few hours during the day when no one is home. He walks well on lease, although he still tends to tug a bit, so we use a gentle lead. He is used to three walks a day and 1-2 hour hikes on the weekends. He is used to lot of country property to run around on, and he is trained with an electric fence and collar. He is extremely smart, and very easily trainable as he responds to food/treats.

Jake is loving but has an "independent" personality. He needs to be near his pack, but he is not a clingy type. Each morning he will wait at the bottom of the stairs for licks and kisses. He is not a barker but very alert and a great watch dog and will only bark to let you know if he hears something out. He is very loyal and protective of his family. He gets along with only a few dogs so we prefer a home with no other pets. Jake has a high prey drive and hence a home with no cats is needed.

Occasionally he gets scared of large, tall men or very small children. He is easily startled (or taken by surprise) and hence we prefer a home with no young children. Jake is good with people he meets, and if someone he does not know comes to the house after a very brief barking moment he will lend forward to sniff people's hands. He need someone to continue his socialization to help build his confidence.

Jake loves to play! His favorite games are chase with his favorite toys, fetch with a ball, and hide a treat under a cup set up like an obstacle course. So you will enjoy his company as he will keep you entertained.

He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccines. And current on the flea and tick prevention.

If you are looking for active, smart, well trained young dog who is loving and loyal to his family Jake is the dog for you.

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.
