My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Indie – The Resilient Survivor Turned Loving Companion!

Indie, named for her life-changing rescue over Independence Day weekend, is making incredible progress as she transitions back to being a loving pet. Known in her neighborhood for living under an abandoned trailer with her puppies, Indie survived on her own for two years before PACA volunteers rescued her and her pups. Now, this smart and loyal girl is ready to embrace her new life with a forever family.

It’s believed that Indie once belonged to the man who owned the trailer, but after his passing, she was left to fend for herself. Despite her difficult past, Indie is showing signs that she was a previous beloved pet—she’s especially in tune with the sound of a bone being unwrapped! Indie loves going for leash walks, playing fetch, and spending time with other dogs. Indie loves to bring her ball back and flop on the ground for belly rubs before chasing it again. She’s also curious about what her humans are up to, often following her foster mom around the house, eager to help out.

Any dog that can survive for two years alone is truly smart, and Indie is no exception. She’s quickly learning commands like “come” and “sit” and is eager to please. She would do wonderfully with a family willing to guide her through the final steps of re-acclimating to pet life.

Indie is a 2-3-year-old, 40 lb mix of cattle dog, Aussie, and other herding breeds, making her both unique and adorable with her wiry coat and bobbed tail. She’s ready for a family that will appreciate her intelligence, loyalty, and love. NO CATS.

More about this rescue
