My name is Polu-Indian Pariah pup!

Meet sweet Polu our rescue from India.
Polu was rescued by a kind young lady who found him as a tiny pup lying almost unconscious near a gas station. He was hit by a car. His Mom and all his litter mates were killed by speeding cars. He was extremely dehydrated, malnourished and tick infested. This puppy was the sole survivor of the accident. He wouldn't have survived much longer without his Mother's love and protection. Polu pulled the heartstrings of this animal lover who immediately took him to the Vet. Then he went home with his rescuer and has been living with her ever since. Now he is a happy health pup and ready to find his forever home. But being born on a street he has no chance to find a home locally. But lucky Polu got a chance to fly to the U.S. for adoption.

Polu is a 6 month old male Indian Pariah pup who is fully vaccinated,neutred and microchipped. He is leash and crate trained and also house broken. He is a smart pup who knows commands like "Sit" and "Shake hands". He has a slight limp from the accident but that doesn’t keep him from running around and playing with his doggie friends. He loves his rope toys and bones. But most of all he loves to snuggle, kiss and curl up in your lap. The most unique thing about Polu is how he expresses himself with his eyes. He is an Old Soul in a puppy's body. He is wise and quiet and likes to lay back and observe.
Polu is a sweet, shy and submissive pup. He is gentle and gets along with all dogs. We need a dog experienced family who will be patient and help Polu build confidence through love and socialization.

Poor Polu has undergone so much misery at such a young age. He deserves only the very best. If you have it in your heart to give this sweet pup a loving home please email Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an adoption application.

Polu is being fostered in Natick, MA and currently lives with other dogs.

Information on the Indian Pariah 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 – 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 few years, we have successfully rescued, rehabilitated and found homes over 500 pariah dogs throughout the Northeast United States and the West Coast.
