My story

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

Introducing Independence aka Indy, a pint-sized lady with a personality as bold as her name. Shy at first meeting, but give her a bit of time, and you'll see her spunky side shine through. Indy is all about having fun, especially when her favorite squeaky toys are involved -- nothing makes her happier than chasing them around and showing off her playful spirit.

Indy isn't just about playtime, though; she's also incredibly affectionate once she knows you. While she's not a fan of being carried, she'll gladly accept all the pets you can offer. Like the Declaration of Independence, Indy stands for freedom... freedom to be herself, to explore, and to love in her own unique way.

Indy is both house- and crate-trained, making her a well-behaved addition to any household. If you're looking for a dog with spirit, charm, and a whole lot of love to give, Indy is your girl.

HEALTH
Independence is current on her puppy vaccinations. She will be microchipped and spayed before going to her forever home. Independence is a loving momma to four sweet puppies who she will nurse until around mid-October.

HISTORY
Independence was found as a stray in a rural county on the Fourth of July, along with her mom, Liberty Belle, and brother, Captain America.

PHYSICAL
Independence is a dark black with a delicate white chin and a thin white stripe from chin to tummy. She has the classic Chihuahua-esque satellite ears.

Adoption Process

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
