Street dogs, known in scientific literature as free-ranging urban dogs[1] or urban free-ranging dogs,[2] are unconfined dogs that live in cities. They live virtually wherever cities exist and the local human population allows. Street dogs may be pets which have strayed from or are simply allowed freedom by their owners, or may never have had an owner. Street dogs may be stray purebreds, true mixed-breed dogs, or unbred landraces such as the Indian pariah dog. Street dog overpopulation can cause problems for the societies in which they live, so campaigns to spay and neuter them are sometimes implemented. They tend to differ from rural free-ranging dogs in their skill sets, socialization, and ecological effects.

In India, the local landrace, known as the Indian pariah dog, has been estimated to have existed for perhaps 14,000 years or more. Part of the urban population consists of mongrels or mix-breeds--descended from pure-breed dogs that have been allowed to interbreed with pariahs. Urban India has two features which create and sustain street dog populations: Large amounts of exposed garbage, which provide an abundant source of food, and a huge population of slum and street-dwellers whose way of life includes keeping the dogs as free-roaming pets
