Meet Indi
Meet Indi – a big, beautiful girl with an even bigger personality! This lively lady loves getting out and exploring the world, whether it’s heading off on a walk, sniffing every interesting scent, or simply taking in her surroundings.
Indi can be a little unsure when meeting new people, particularly if she’s tired or adjusting to a new environment. With a little patience, reassurance, and a few tasty treats, she quickly begins to show her affectionate, playful side. Once she trusts you, she’s a loyal companion who loves being close to her people-and she certainly won’t let her size stop her from trying to be a lap dog!
An active home where she can enjoy regular adventures and enrichment, balanced with a calm, predictable environment where she feels safe, would be perfect for her. Indi would prefer to be the only dog in the home, though she may enjoy regular walks with a calm, well-mannered canine friend.
Because Indi can be fearful of unfamiliar people and doesn’t appreciate being disturbed while she’s resting, she isn’t suited to living with children and is likely to find them overwhelming.
To help her settle into her new home, Indi is looking for a quiet household that can keep visitors to a minimum for the first 2-3 weeks while she builds confidence and feels secure.
If you’re searching for a fun-loving adventure buddy with a huge heart, and you’re happy to share your couch with an oversized lap dog, Indi could be the perfect addition to your family. 🐾
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
