Story
Indie quite possibly has my favorite kind of dog-personality. You know the type of dog you meet when someone has you over to their house for a meal or get-together and you immediately connect with the dog? A dog that feels familiar and comfortable, loving and with a set of eyes that you can genuinely connect with. Indie is absolutely that dog! She bonds deeply, loves her people wholeheartedly, and is equal parts tender-hearted companion and adventure buddy.

Indie is estimated to be around 4 years old and weighs 77 lbs. She is a gorgeous girl with an athletic Pittie-Doberman-type, with oversized floppy ears and a thoughtful, expressive face. She’s the kind of dog who feels soulful from the moment you meet her. She’s smart, food-motivated, affectionate, and happiest when she’s part of your day, whether that means tagging along on outings or curling up nearby while you unwind on the couch.
Indie is currently fostered in a loving home where she’s shown what a dream she can be as a house companion. She is house trained, crate trained, and her foster shared that she’s calm and non-destructive in the home. She settles beautifully indoors and has that wonderful “relaxed when inside, ready for fun when outside” balance that makes life with her feel natural and easy. She loves tug, loves treats, loves her people, and has an adorable way of offering you her paw when she’s asking for more affection (or at the first sign of a treat.)
Indie is very people-oriented and opens up quickly with humans. She loves being out and about and has the perfect personality for it- meeting new people with sweet, friendly hellos, soaking up the pets and sneaking a few little kisses. Around kids, she’s friendly and affectionate, though she may initially get excited and want to jump up to say hello, so a little structure and reminders at the beginning will help her be her best polite self.
With other dogs, Indie likes to take it slow at first, she is prefers calm introductions and isn’t the type to just jump right into whatever fun is going on. She greets new dogs politely, but will chose to give herself space when interactions feel too pushy. She lives in a multi-dog home and is great with all the dogs from big to small. Her ideal canine companion would be a calm, lower-energy dog who isn’t going to insist on play right away but she could easily be just as happy as someone’s one-and-only girl. She’s not a dog-park social butterfly, she is more of a “fun comes with time” companion.
Indie is absolutely a people’s dog at heart. When she feels unsure, she looks to her humans for reassurance, checks in beautifully on leash, and is a dream house dog! She’ll thrive with adopters who value connection over chaos, and want a dog who bonds deeply rather than one who’s nonstop social.
She has met a few cats and we can see she is eager to get-to-know about cats which means she looks interested and innately it is easy to say she would do best in a cat-free home but we are happy to test that further if you are interested and have a cat in your home.
Out and about, Indie travels well, enjoys car rides, and is the perfect partner for walks, relaxed outings, or quiet outdoor time together. She’s athletic when invited, but she’s just as happy soaking in sunshine beside you and enjoying life at your pace.
Indie is one of those dogs who grows more special the longer you know her -thoughtful, intuitive, loving, and ready to be someone’s deeply cherished bestie.
If you’re looking for a dog who chooses her person and shows her heart slowly but honestly, Indie is the one and she is waiting for you.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
