Meet the Indies and rescue dogs waiting for their forever families. Every adoption here is a lifetime commitment and we are here to help you find the perfect match.

Thinking about bringing a pet home but work a full-time job? We often recommend adopting an older pup, as they are calmer and more independent than very young puppies, making the transition easier for everyone.

This is Lily, a beautiful 6.5-month-old girl. She is gentle, a bit shy at first, but warms up to become a loyal companion. She would be a great fit for a patient and loving home.

Meet Bruno, a handsome 6.5-month-old male with the most expressive eyes. His playful nature and friendly disposition make him a perfect addition to any family looking for a fun-loving dog.

This is Tanner, a striking 6.5-month-old male. He is smart, curious, and loves to explore. He is looking for an active family who can take him on adventures.

Welcome to Baby's vocabulary test. This two-year-old Labrador is smart, friendly, and knows what she wants, especially if it's a biscuit. She is spayed, vaccinated, and ready for a family that loves to play.

Pinky is a two-year-old pug who has overcome so much, including a serious accident and abandonment. Despite it all, her spirit is unbreakable. She is a playful, loving girl looking for a special family who can see her inner and outer beauty.

That Friday feeling. Loki is just as excited for the weekend as we are, because it means more visitors and more cuddles. Come say hello to this happy boy at our shelter.

About this collection

Adopting here involves a thoughtful matching process rather than an instant handover. We perform a home check and a counselor interview to ensure the dog's temperament matches your daily routine. This helps us ensure your new companion settles in comfortably, preventing the stress of an ill-fitted placement for both of you.

Indie dogs are resilient, intelligent, and perfectly suited to Bangalore's climate. When you choose to adopt from us, you aren't just getting a pet; you are saving a life. Our shelter is often at capacity, so every successful adoption allows us to free up space for another animal in desperate need of medical care or trauma rehabilitation.

The Adoption Process

We are strict about our process because we want every match to be final. Our team works with you to understand your lifestyle, living situation, and experience with pets. This ensures that a high-energy pup goes to an active home, while a calmer, older dog finds a family that appreciates a slower pace. We believe in transparency, so you will receive the full medical history, vaccination records, and details on sterilization for your new companion.

What to Expect

  • Medical Prep: Every adult dog is spayed or neutered, dewormed, and vaccinated against Rabies and DHPPi before handover.
  • Home Checks: We verify safety measures like balcony netting or secure gates to ensure your home is ready.
  • Post-Adoption: We provide guidance during the transition period. These dogs have often faced abandonment or trauma, so they may need patience as they learn to trust again.

We encourage you to visit our Yelahanka shelter to spend time with the dogs. Sometimes you do not choose the dog; the dog chooses you. If you are looking for a loyal, street-smart, and loving family member, we invite you to start a conversation with our team.
