Indy, Labrador Retriever For Adoption In Sheridan, Texas

Description:

Hi! My name is Indy, glad to see you here on my page! I'm some sort of Lab mix, but that just makes me more pretty and special don't ya think? :) I was found with my 5 siblings when were only 10 months old in a single axle horse trailer on July 3. Our owners had not even bothered to clean it out when they put us in there. There was manure and other poop at least 8 inches deep. It was horribly nasty in there. Attached to this trailer was a small, makeshift pen that was filled with poop, water and dare I say, maggots! It was the worst situation any living being could be left in. Some people are just so cruel, I just don't get it! The great peeps at Lucies raced in early on the morning of July 4. A newspaper article was written about the rescue and we were donned the name '"The Freedom Six Pack". I can't remember how long we suffered being in those awful conditions. As soon as we were rescued and brought to Lucies, we each got to feel grass for the first time in our young lives. It was the most amazing feeling ever! The ladies that brought me teared up at our response to the grass, because it was both sad and amazing at the same time. One of my brothers was missing a toe because of those filthy conditions. For the first 2 weeks we were at Lucies, we all slept standing up in a pyramid style, as we had never known clean and dry conditions. I'm so glad we are here now and are doing so much better. These volunteers here really know how to love and take care of us. I can be shy at times, but believe it or not, I am extremely outgoing and I love to play. I especially LOVE being in the water and splashing around! I am K9 friendly and I am also leash and crate trained. While it's really awesome here, I would truly love to have a family of my own to play and cuddle with. I sure hope that's you! Thanks for visiting my page. Hope to see you soon! *** We strive to ensure our dogs are going to a safe, loving and caring home. Phone interviews are required for all adoptions****Adoption processInterested adopters contact our adoption volunteer either via email or phone. Our volunteer in turn talks to them more about the pet they are interested in. If the adopter seems like a good match, they are requested to complete an application. They come to the rescue location to meet the dog of interest. We also sometimes arrange a home visit to make sure the environment is suitable for the dog. If all is well, they will get a call from a volunteer letting them know they are approved for adoption. They will be provided copies of the vaccination and sterilization records. A delivery day will be arranged for the dog. Either the adopter may come and pick up the dog, or a volunteer can arrange to have the dog delivered. They sign our adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. We do periodically contact our adopters to check up on the dog to make sure everyone is happy and healthy and enjoying their new life!Shelter locationOur rescue is open by appointment only
