A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Indie. My foster mama also calls me Peanut and Sweetie.  I am a tiny little Shepard mix, weighing in just under 10 lbs at 9 weeks. I was the smallest in my litter but that doesn’t stop me from wrestling and tumbling with my sister. I am learning to sit but my tail wiggles make it hard to stay there. I am really good about using the training pads. I’m a bit nervous about outside noises so going out there is a work in progress. I am learning to kennel up on my own. I sleep in there all night with no noises until I hear foster mama up and moving around.

I have 2 foster sisters, and I am obsessed with them! I love to follow them around and try to get them to play with me. They think I’m too little, but I really want to play!! When they play with each other, I try to join in.

My foster mama has toddler grandkids who come visit. I haven’t learned not to jump on them but they love to get kisses. I calm down quickly so they can pet me and we can snuggle.

I am looking forward to finding my forever home.  Will you be my snuggle bug?

Adoption Fee: $760 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
