Indie dogs, also known as the Indian Pariah Dog, are indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. They are not “mixed breeds” as many people think but are naturally evolved dogs who have adapted to the climate and conditions of India over the years. Their resistance is high, their instincts are strong, and their capacity to withstand the effects of heat, moisture, and even the vagaries of monsoons make them the most suitable breed for Indian homes.
When one adopts an Indie, they are not merely bringing home a pet; they are giving a second chance to a dog that has probably survived adverse conditions on the streets. Many animal welfare organizations, such as People For Animals, promote the adoption of Indies because animal shelters across the country are chock-full of abandoned and injured street dogs waiting to be taken home.
