Bindi arrived from New Delhi, India on November 4, 2018.
My name is Bindi and I am 1 year and 3 months old girl who was rescued from New Delhi, India. I am full grown at just 35 pounds. I am loving, gentle and have great house manners. I am good with other dogs and am happy just to cuddle with my humans.
Here is my story….. I was born in a colony and had 2 sisters. Life on the street was hard and I was fearful for my life all the time. One day other dogs started attacking us and people were kicking the other dogs to keep us safe. One German lady rescued my sisters and I. My sisters were lucky and found homes but I wasn’t so lucky and I have been in a foster home in New Delhi for over a year. Shortly after my rescue I fell sick with distemper and was lucky to survive. I have a slight head tick that is a neurological side effect from this terrible disease but I know I am lucky to have survived. I am told that I my immune system is actually stronger from having to fight this virus and I am extra healthy and I am a survivor. There is no need for concern because of this past disease – I am a very healthy young girl now. I am current on my vaccinations, spayed and micro-chipped.
I enjoyed my foster home and they taught me the rules of living in a home. I have good basic obedience and I am potty trained. I am also crate trained and walk well on a leash. I was one of many dogs though and I longed for my own home. I was beginning to loose hope when Premlata told me I was to travel to the US to find my home! I know I am a very lucky puppy to have this amazing opportunity. Fate has better things in store for me. Now I just need to find my people.

Desi (day-see) dogs live on the city and village streets of India, with an estimated 400,000 in the capital Delhi, alone. Also called Indian Native Dogs or Pariah Dogs, these dogs have changed little over thousands of years. Desi dogs are highly intelligent, alert, good-looking, athletic, and full of character. Many urban Desi dogs have recent European breed ancestry too, along with sighthound sleekness and speed. It’s ironic that these incredibly adaptable, resilient, regal dogs have to look outside India to find adoptive homes, while status-conscious Indians buy “purebred” foreign dogs ill-suited the climate and conditions.
