Story
Desi is a 6-year-old Indian Pariah dog, rescued at 2 weeks when his mom died in the streets. He has been in our family since he was 4 mths old. Desi is sweet, animated, intelligent and loving. He is very sensitive and loves to cuddle on the couch. Although he is fearful of new dogs and people, we have spent 6 years rehabilitating him to help him relax in scary situations. He is very food motivated and responsive and has improved significantly. Now, he can have dog friends if introduced slowly, and once he feels comfortable with a person, he will love them forever. Desi has nipped a person on the ankle and bitten one dog in our front yard, both while off leash; but has been trained to heel, and walk respectfully in public while on leash. He needs a sensitive, patient owner who understands his special emotional needs and will continue to encourage him to be calm and respectful in society. Desi has no separation anxiety, no destructive behavior in the house or yard. He is truly a gem.

Story
"What did the cricket say to the squirrel??" How would we know?? Cricket's don't TALK!! Ok, now that we have broken the ice, let me tell you all about me :) I am a strong survivor. I came from the most DISMAL situation you can imagine.... born to an unwanted mother, sickly and sad, I was dumped with her as well as one of our sisters dead bodies, like we had no meaning in this world... BUT, LOVE WON OUT!!! I was seen by a kind woman who reached out to another kind woman who reached out to a rescuer in San Antonio- 5 hours away!!! AND we were SAVED! So how is that for a rags to riches story?? It is MY story. I am a happy girl now, I have come SO FAR from the scared, skinny, starving, mangy pup I was, but I haven't reached the finish line YET!! That's where you come in... I am ready for my forever family. We are going to be a little picky, if you don't mind. I prefer a home, with heat and ac, with food and with LOVE. Older kids would be great, I can still be a little nervous with new people (who can blame me?) and I would love another calm, confident dog to help me with my energy. So, if that sounds like your home, APPLY TO ADOPT ME!!! You will not only finish my story with a huge happy ending chapter, you will be encouraging all of the kind women who took the time and energy and love that was needed to get me safe and to wonderful families!!! ADOPT.... DON'T SHOP!!! OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)
