About Indie

Indie is a charming 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix weighing approximately 35 lbs. She was born in a rural Tennessee shelter and was held for almost a year due to an animal cruelty case. Thankfully, she was released and spent another year in foster care learning to trust her surroundings. Now, Indie is ready to find her forever home. Though she can be skittish outside, she's adapting well to life in NYC. At home, she embraces a relaxed lifestyle, often curling up on the couch for snuggles. Indie gets along beautifully with kids and dogs, making her an ideal family companion. She thrives with canine friends around, who help boost her confidence. Currently fostered in Brooklyn, NY, Indie is available for adoption locally or out-of-state, provided the adopter can meet her in person. Ready to make a loving commitment?
