Indie & Lily are a tender-hearted, bonded pair who are just beginning to discover how beautiful life can be. 💛 These two sweet girls have come such a long way in foster care, and while they’re still a little shy, their playful, loving personalities are starting to shine through more each day.
When they first arrived, both Indie and Lily were very timid—unsure of their surroundings and needing time to feel safe. With patience and love, they’ve blossomed into affectionate, gentle companions who now seek out their people for cuddles, playtime, and reassurance. Indie is the more sensitive of the two, often looking to her humans for comfort, while Lily brings a touch of sass with her slightly bossy big-sister energy. Together, they balance each other beautifully. 🐾
These girls are total cuddle bugs. They love being held, snuggled, and will even gently paw at you to ask for pets—it's impossible to resist. Their tails wag like crazy when they see you, and their joy is contagious. They enjoy toys, short play sessions, and a couple of daily walks, but they’re just as happy curling up for a nap or soaking up the sun.
Indie and Lily would thrive in a calm, quiet home where they can continue building confidence at their own pace. Busy households or high-traffic environments will not be a good fit for them. They are still learning about the world and can become overwhelmed in new or chaotic situations, often retreating to a safe space until they feel secure again. A patient adopter who understands that trust takes time will be key to helping them truly flourish. 🌿
A confident resident dog would be a wonderful bonus, as they take comfort in the presence of other dogs and learn by watching them. While they coexist well with other dogs, they tend to play independently rather than directly engaging. Lily can be a little bossy at times—especially around coveted spots like the human bed—but she responds well to gentle boundaries.
They’re both crate trained, house trained, and settle nicely when left alone for a few hours. On leash, they’re still learning the ropes and can be a bit pull-y, but they absolutely love their walks and will benefit from continued positive, force-free training.
Because of their beautiful long coats, Indie and Lily will require regular grooming to keep them comfortable and mat-free. Routine brushing at home and consistent professional grooming appointments will be an important part of their ongoing care. ✂️
Indie and Lily are looking for a home filled with patience, kindness, and lots of love. In return, they’ll give you the sweetest companionship, quiet loyalty, and those heart-melting moments when they choose you as their safe place. 🥹
If you’re ready to open your heart and home to two gentle souls who just need a little time to fully bloom, Indie & Lily might be your perfect match. 💕 If you would like to meet the girls, please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
