In his pet passport which was handled by the import agency they have put his birthdate as 11/06/2021. Which might be roughly correct, he could be 6-12months younger than that, the only way we know is that a vet has guessed based on looking at his teeth.

After I rescued Noah from his local, up to that point I had noticed that he was highly energetic relating to other dogs, often would try to mount them and was particularly aggressive around food.
However since being neutered, spending 1 year in a pet boarding in India and arriving in the UK, I have noticed a radical shift in his temperment both in general and towards other dogs.
He is now MUCH calmer. I took him to a dog safari near London (Ross & Friends) and he played with in excess of about 15 different dogs off the lead without any problem at all. He has also played with some dogs in local parks without issue. He seems to LOVE socialising and playing! -
Honestly Noah has been staying at my house in his own room and whenever I have introduced him to my cats from a distance through a temporarily open door he seemed fine. However if he sees a cat, a squirrel or any small animal in the street he does chase, so my gut tells me he is probably not suitable for a household with a cat unless you are willing to train him around this.

Honestly I have no idea because I have never seen him much around them. However he is a very friendly, trustworthy, gentle animal, I doubt very much he would harm anyone. He has already received some training not to jump up on people, he could easily receive more. He seems very interested in the playful energy of slightly older children 9+

I am totally flexible about how we move forward and actually I prefer to make sure that its a good fit and everyone is happy, especially Noah. So yes trial is possible.
Adopters must have at least a medium size secure garden space for Noah to spend time many hours a day.
Adopters must have had some experience with dogs and be really clear about the challenges of adopting an Indian rescue dog.
Adopters must be willing to have lifetime pet insurance in case of illness. ‘Lifetime’ is usually the upper tier of insurance vs ‘Essential’ with most insurance companies.
Adopters must be willing and open to engage professional dog training as Noah currently has weak recall.
I am concerned about households with cats, mainly because I am concerned with the well being of the cats but this is not a dealbreaker, I leave this also open for discussion. As this depends on various factors.
*Apart from the above everything else is open for discussion and exploration.
