Story
Every once in a while, you meet an extra special dog that is full of gentle love, affection and resilience that will melt your heart! Meet Indigo Blue known also as Indy, our visually impaired one-year old 45-pound stunning girl. Your first instinct will be to wrap this sweet soul up in the comfort of your arms and keep her safe but soon you'll see she is so full of joy and doesn't act handicapped at all! Yes, her life was previously full of pain in a horrid kill shelter but since she is safe and no longer in pain she's just thrilled to be a normal happy girl! Plus remember Indy has never had full sight so knows no different. We found Indy as a stray where she was to be euthanized the next day as her left eye was destroyed from glaucoma and she was in severe pain. Simple drops would have taken care of this, but she was not to be given a chance until Haven Animal Rescue Nebraska quickly called and arranged to have her transferred to Omaha immediately. Unfortunately, we could not save her left eye, and had it surgically removed so she would be pain free. Her right eye was evaluated and drops that only cost $10 a month have saved what little vision she has. Indy mostly sees shadows but you'd never know she is not fully sighted. She fully mapped out her foster home within two days and then roamed all levels including stairs and the outside yard without bumping into a thing! To say this girl is amazing is an understatement! Indy's life now....she is extremely happy and gets along with all dogs from 35 to 155 pounds in her foster home. She plays respectfully with dogs and takes their cues. She has learned several commands and wants to please. She loves to be with her people and is very devoted whether outside playing or laying beside you. Indy also walks well on leash once she trusts you and will follow a clicking sounds of your tongue in new places she has not mapped out in her mind. Nothing stops this lovebug from living life to the fullest and she is a pure delight. The perfect home for Indigo is a home with a fence, another dog and lots of love and patience to give her! She also adores children. No apartments please as she will alert you to sounds she can hear but not see. She is potty trained and crate trained. Although if you are home Indy wants to be out and with you! Please apply to meet Indigo Blue (Indy) and see if she is what has been missing from your life! www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org ADOPTION DONATION: $375 *She will require eyedrop twice daily that she takes well and 2-3 vet visits a year for a simple glaucoma test. *All dogs must be adopted as inside companion animals and are altered, up to date with vaccinations, HW tested, microchipped and take preventatives monthly.
