Just Jacks Rescue is now accepting adoption applications for 10-week old puppy "Indy," the easy-going, energetic Fido who was rescued from the roof of an abandoned house last weekend.
On the Fourth of July, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue received a phone call that there was a puppy on the roof of a house. Normally used to dealing with fiery rooftops, MDFR had the unfamiliar task of handling the frightened pup.
After being rescued in front of a crowd of dozens of people, the pooch was taken to the fire station and Just Jacks Rescue was called.
“He's a fairly healthy puppy," said Jennifer Woolman, from Just Jacks Rescue. He's about 10 weeks old. He's very high energy, extremely loving, and he gets along with cats and dogs.”
How Indy wound up on top of the single-story house is a mystery, but there's a theory as to how it happened.
“The assumption by fire rescue is that someone actually threw him up there,” said Woolman. “They said there was absolutely no possible way he could have climbed."
To submit an application to adopt Indy, log on to Just Jacks Rescue’s Facebook page. He has reportedly received his shots, will be neutered, and is looking for a forever home.
