My name is Nima – I am a 1 year old rescue from the streets of New Delhi, India. I am being fostered in Wadsworth, IL
Ok, so my story began on the streets of New Delhi, India. Life started out very rough and I soon found myself alone without siblings or my mom. It was a very scary place. One very fortunate day a kind lady brought me food and then I saw her everyday – she was always kind and always had food to offer. I began to feel safe but it was still very scary. Some people were mean to me and there were street dogs in the area I had to make sure I didn’t wander onto their turf.
I grew very fond of this woman who fed me daily and i started to get bolder – and let her pet me and I even started to become affectionate with her – after all I longed for someone I could love and be loved by. I guess that saved my life in retrospect.
She took me home and began the work of figuring out how to give me a better life. That’s where International Street Dog comes in. They have offered to welcome me to Chicago and find me a home! I must make a very long journey for this to happen but I know it will be worth it.
I am told that I am a brave little girl, who is very sweet and smart. I can also be a playful and mischievous puppy but I promise to do everything I can to grow up into a well behaved girl who will make you very happy. I just need love, patience and someone to teach me the rules. Could that person be you?

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.
