Indie's Story

❄️ She Dug a Hole in the Snow to Save Her Babies—Now It’s Indy’s Turn to Be Chosen ❤️<br/><br/>Nearly three years ago, in December, Indy gave birth under the harshest conditions imaginable. Pregnant, injured, and alone in the winter cold, she dug a hole in the frozen ground to shelter her seven newborn puppies from the snow.<br/><br/>Because of Indy’s courage and devotion, Pearl, Opal, Jade, Arrow, River, Ash, and Archer survived. She kept them warm, raised them, and watched every one of them find a family before the following summer.<br/><br/>Her puppies were chosen—but Indy was left waiting.<br/><br/>Summer came and went. Then another winter. And another. For nearly three years, Indy has remained with the temporary foster mom who welcomed her after her rescue, still waiting for someone to look at her and say, “It’s your turn. I choose you.”<br/><br/>At approximately 3 years old and 40 pounds, Indy is a Kelpie–Cattle Dog mix with a huge personality packed into a smaller frame. She is intelligent, affectionate, playful, energetic, and completely devoted to her people. She especially loves children and would thrive with a family or active adults who will include her in their daily lives.<br/><br/>Although Indy is a Cattle Dog mix and once lived as a working ranch dog, she was kicked by a cow when she was a puppy and is now afraid of cows. A home where she will not be expected to work around cattle would be best for her.<br/><br/>Indy enjoys:<br/><br/>🌱 Helping in the garden while “hunting” grasshoppers and voles<br/>🪟 Watching through the window for her people to return<br/>🥰 Greeting you as if you’ve been gone for years—even if you only took out the trash<br/>👧 Playing and spending time with children<br/>🧠 Learning new commands and showing off how smart she is<br/>🏡 Relaxing comfortably at home without needing to be crated<br/><br/>Indy is receiving private training to improve her leash manners, polish her basic commands, and help manage her prey drive. She is eager to please, highly food-motivated, and making wonderful progress. A gentle over-the-nose leash helps her walk beautifully.<br/><br/>🐾 Indy must be the only dog in her home. She can be selective with other dogs and deserves a home where she will not be placed in uncomfortable situations or expected to share her space. Indy has more than enough personality, loyalty, and love to be someone’s one-and-only companion.<br/><br/>Her ideal home will offer:<br/><br/>🏡 A securely fenced yard<br/>❤️ Plenty of attention and interaction<br/>👨‍👩‍👧 A family with children or active adults<br/>🦮 Someone committed to continuing her positive training<br/>🐕 A home where she can be the only dog<br/>🐄 No expectation that she work or live closely with cattle<br/><br/>Indy protected her puppies when they had no one else. She raised them, loved them, and sent them off to their forever homes before they were even a year old.<br/><br/>Indy has now spent almost three years waiting for the happy ending her puppies received within months.<br/><br/>Her foster mom loves her dearly and is even sponsoring 50% of Indy’s adoption fee to help the right family find her.<br/><br/>Indy survived the snow. She saved her babies. She watched them all get chosen.<br/><br/>Please—let this finally be Indy’s turn. ❤️<br/><br/>Apply to meet Indy:<br/>www.friendsfureveranimalrescue.net<br/><br/>📍 Fostered in Kimberly, Idaho<br/><br/>More photos:<br/>https://photos.app.goo.gl/H1arHhdd3GwhVwqTA<br/><br/>Watch Indy’s video:<br/>https://youtu.be/kevORrr2sFw<br/><br/>#IndysTurn #ChooseIndy #AdoptIndy #OnlyDog #KelpieMix #CattleDogMix #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #IdahoDogs #FriendsFureverAnimalRescue
