Success Stories & Memorials
Every adoption is a special success story. Below are just a few we've compiled. Sadly since 2000 when IBR began, many of these dogs and puppies have gone to the rainbow bridge. We still celebrate their adoptions and are greatful to all their families for giving them safe and wonderful loving homes.

Rommie was the first foster dog for Monica, our adoption coordinator. Please take a minute to read his touching memorial.

Molly was one of the first pioneers of the Southern Indiana Railroad - a rescue network devoted to transporting hundreds of southern Indiana dogs yearly to safe havens in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Dawny was one of our "special needs" dogs because she is deaf, suffers from seizures, and was hearworm positive. We are thrilled that Dawny has found her forever home! |

Gypsy is quite the character and can always added a little comic relief to your day. |

Odin's a very happy boy, despite being blind in one eye. |

Russ aka Riley is another one of our many success stories! He was adored by his family. |
 |
Nikki was once a shy girl, but she has come out of her shell in her forever home. |
 |
Gramps was a sad, sad sight when we met him but he is now looking better than ever. |
 |
We thought Chester's foot was going to need to be amputated, but with some TLC, he is doing just fine. |
