My name is Raaj!

Raaj is a Pariah dog who was rescued from the streets of Bangladesh and flown to the U.S. for a chance at adoption. Please scroll at the bottom to get details on this breed.

Raaj is a one year old Pariah Dog rescued as a little pup by a kind American family. A sole survivor of his litter he lived outside the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He was born on Sept 2017 and moved to the U.S. this summer to find his loving home.

Raaj is a very sweet, handsome and a very loving dog. He is also a very well trained dog (see the video) and went to Offleash K9 School in July ($3,000) in Fredricksburg, Virginia. He is very healthy and is up to date on all vaccines and neutered. Raaj is a medium size dog with a stocky build and weighs about 55 to 60 pounds.

Raaj is an energetic dog, and has a very good and loving personality. He is very protective of his pack and makes an excellent watch dog. He is always alert and very aware of his surroundings. Unsure if he is good with cats. Currently lives with another dog. He is good with dogs who he knows well. He has some anxiety about being left alone but seems to be getting over that. So a home where someone is home most of the day or has another dog to keep Raaj company would be ideal.
Raaj does not do well in crates although will tolerate them. Although still a pupy he does not need to be crated as he fully house trained and seems to be past the chewing stage that all dogs go through as puppies. He does well with older children and very playful and loves attention.
Our favorite feature about Raaj is his cute curly tail and his hoary howl!

Raaj is well trained dog who is a very intelligent and hence would need an experienced dog owner who can work with him to challenge his energy and intelligence.
Raaj loves to run, plays with toys including tennis balls and would make an excellent addition to a lucky family.

If you think you can give this amazing dog a right home 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 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. They easily adapt to the winters in the Northeast America and love the snow.
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 15–18 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 eight years, we have successfully rescued, rehabilitated and found homes over 500 IN dogs throughout the Northeast United States and the West coast.
