Meet Indy

This is my newest rescue dog, Indy. He is a very handsome fawn brindle Bullmastiff who is appox. 11 mos old. Indy will be available for adoption from the American Bullmastiff Assoc. rescue soon. I have named him Indy because that is where he came from, Indianapolis, IN. I was calling him Tim when I first picked him up from the other rescue volunteer but that name did not really fit him so I changed it. The reason I called him Tim was because when Crystal picked him up at the animal shelter he had kennel cough and she had him in the back of her van in a dog kennel to drive him to me. She had the kennel wrapped and he reminded me of a Christmas present coming out of a wrapped box. He was smaller than I had expected, I did not know he was going to be such a young dog, and I thought of Tiny Tim from a Christmas Carol. Hence the name Tim in the beginning.

The first stop on the journey to my home was at our Veterinarian. I have found a wonderful vet, Dr. Rick Davis of Davis Veterinary Service who is in the Renssellear, IN area who works with my own personal dogs and the rescue dogs. Dr. Rick verified that Indy had kennel cough and started him on antibiotics to cure his cough. (Just in case you do not know what kennel cough is, the easiest way to explain is that it is similar to our colds. It gives the dog a cough, runny nose and a fever and, like our cold can be spread. Fortunately, like our colds, once it runs its course and the dog is over kennel cough it is no problem. ) Dr. Rick decided to hold off on the neutering of Indy until after he recovered from his cough and felt a little better. This is a photo of Indy when he first came to my house.
