LUCKY PIE

LUCKY PIE

Hi, my name is LUCKY PIE, a beautiful and proud white and brown coloured indie. Wondering how I got my name? Let me tell you my story – I had 3 wonderful siblings. One by one, all my siblings got adopted and it was just mom and me. I had mom all to myself but one day this big mean bus came and took my mom away for sterilization. I waited and waited but she never came back.

I was all of 2.5 months old, lonely and scared when Jyoti found me on the road. She took me to a wonderful boarding that has been my home ever since. I play around with the other dogs but often wonder how it would be to have my own family. I take a little time to open up to new humans but once I do you are in for unlimited sloppy kisses and forever hugs. Jyoti has tried really hard to find me a home, but alas no one here wants to open their heats and give me a chance. So she came up with an amazing idea – sending me abroad where I will find my forever home.

At my boarding, they have begun my crate training and I am being obedient since I am excited to meet my new family. I was spayed too, but it wasn’t scary at all because everyone was so nice. I will miss having Jyoti around but I know she is sending me for my better – are you ready to be my forever hoomans?

I LOVE to play and I love all people.  Did I mention I love to cuddle?  I have been through basic obedience training and have good house manners.  I am young and athletic and very smart.  I would do best with a family that has a fenced in yard and an active lifestyle that can give me the exercise I need to thrive.  I love playing with toys – all kinds.  I promise I will make you laugh and my joy for life is contagious.

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 Indies, 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.

While most street dogs experience indifference at best, some neighbors and business owners look after their community dogs. Delhi’s extreme weather (cold winters, sweltering summers, thick smog, and monsoons), dangerous traffic, disease, human violence, and attacks from other dogs, ensure that most desi puppies die before reaching adulthood. It’s a great irony that increasing numbers of status-conscious Indians are buying expensive and ill-suited foreign breed dogs, while more resilient and regal-looking native Indian dogs often have to travel internationally to find willing adoptive homes. Most of the desi dogs that ISDF places could not survive on Indian streets due to early orphaning or injury, or have been rescued from especially threatening situations.
