Story
Please read this entire description before applying.
Two Whoodle brothers who never had a real start in life are finally ready for the kind of home they should have had from the beginning. We prefer to adopt them together, but we are willing to separate them for the right homes.
Chester and Corkie, a bonded pair, are now 9 months old and about 30 lbs each. They spent their entire lives in a kennel before rescue — no walks, no toys, no family, and almost no human contact. Everything in the world is still new to them, and they are learning slowly, gently, and bravely. We do not expect them to get much bigger. Since entering a foster home, they have shown what wonderful dogs they truly are.
Corkie is the more confident brother. He watches people closely, makes decisions faster, and Chester looks to him for cues on what to do next. Corkie was recently shaved down because he’s the waterlover of the pair — he goes straight for the kiddie pool every chance he gets.
Chester is more cautious and relies on Corkie for reassurance. He follows Corkie’s lead and gains confidence by staying close to him. With patience and routine, he continues to make steady progress.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ADOPTERS
• They will be cautious and fearful at first — this is normal for them. They are still learning that strangers can be safe and kind.• They cannot be crated for long periods. Due to their past confinement, crating creates significant anxiety. A baby gate in a safe utility or laundry room is the best option when you are not home.• They are not good on a leash yet. Right now, they tend to sit down and refuse to walk. This will improve with time, patience, and gentle practice, but adopters should expect slow progress at first.
THEY WILL NEED:• A fully fenced backyard (mandatory — no invisible fences)• Someone home during the day• A quiet, patient household• Kids 13+• Adopter must live within 1½ hours of Crown Point• 10day trial adoption to ensure it’s a good fit
They are neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.The adoption fee for both boys together is $500. If adopted separately, the fee is $350 each. While we prefer to adopt them together, we will consider separate adoptions.
These boys have survived a lot, and they are finally safe. Now they just need the right family — someone gentle, patient, and willing to go slow — to help them bloom. If you think you could be that home, please apply on our website: www.indianasaveadog.com
