How does this photo represent the theme – Life is Better Together?
Indie was only 5 weeks old when she was rescued from a research laboratory. Even though she had already been used in cruel research, she was one of the lucky ones. She was released to ARME/BFP before being subjected to a lonely life in a metal cage with no toys, no love, no attention, no treats, no walks, no soft bed, no affection. Most research dogs endure years in such horrible conditions. Some are eventually released to rescues. Most are disposed of like garbage. With 4 canine siblings, Indie will never know a life of pain and loneliness, thanks to ARME/BFP!
