Meet Indie: The Sweet Dog Found Abandoned Now Looking For Love
"Indie is a true survivor with a heart of gold," explains the nonprofit rescue.
Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a remarkable dog named Indie, a 3.5-year-old sweetheart weighing 44 pounds who has captured hearts with her resilient spirit and loving nature. "Indie is a true survivor with a heart of gold," explains the nonprofit rescue. "When we found her, she was living on the side of a busy highway with a few canine friends, surviving on trash and a deer carcass. While her friends were too fearful to approach, Indie’s gentle and trusting nature shone through—she came straight up to us, allowed us to leash her, and walked calmly to safety."
Despite her challenging past, surviving on whatever she could find, Indie's gentle and trusting personality has remained unshaken. Believed to have been abandoned by previous owners who moved away, Indie has shown remarkable adaptability and an eagerness to learn. She has made impressive progress in mastering leash walking and has proven herself to be an intelligent, quick learner. Now dog-door trained, she simply needs a patient family to help her adjust to new routines as she settles into her forever home.
What makes Indie truly special is her unwavering affection for people and her desire for companionship. Despite the hardships she's faced, she remains a sweet, loving soul who thrives on attention and human connection. This resilient pup is now ready to find her perfect match - a loving family who can provide the stable, caring environment she so richly deserves.
Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., based in Massachusetts, is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to giving dogs a second chance at life through their foster-based rescue program. Their mission extends across multiple states, rescuing dogs from shelters, abuse situations, and owner surrenders in Massachusetts, while also helping strays from Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Without a physical shelter facility, their rescued dogs are cared for in loving foster homes and kennels while awaiting adoption.
As a nonprofit organization, Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. operates entirely through the dedication of volunteers who balance their rescue work with full-time careers. Their motivation comes purely from the joy of matching dogs with loving forever homes. As a nonprofit dependent on donations, Sandy Paws Rescue faces significant expenses in their mission, including transportation costs, veterinary care, and daily necessities for their rescued dogs. The adoption fees they collect only partially cover these extensive costs, making community support crucial for their continued operation.
Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. asks that anyone interested in adopting a dog through them must submit an application to receive any additional information. As a foster-based rescue based in Massachusetts, Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. doesn’t have a shelter location, and visits with dogs are by appointment only. Sandy Paws Rescue Inc.'s dogs reside in private foster homes or kennels until adoption. They also note that at this time, Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. is only adopting to those living in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and some areas in Connecticut. Sandy Paws Rescue explains that they adopt to other New England states on a case-by-case basis.
