Indigo

Wolf dogs are beautiful, mysterious, and elegant dogs that are a bit more wolf than some of their other dog cousins. One wolf dog in particular, that we are going to focus on today, has an "In" name and a gorgeous coat to match. Indigo is an eight year old wolf dog with a lovely dark coat and white accents. Her eyes are a hazel color and hold a wisdom and freedom that can almost freeze you in your tracks. She currently lives in the safety and comfort of the W.O.L.F. (Wolves Offered Life and Friendship) Sanctuary in Colorado with her sister and litter-mate Amaris (another equally gorgeous and beautifully named wolf dog).

Indigo and Amaris came to live in the W.O.L.F. Sanctuary after they had lived a life secluded inside of a rather small enclosure. Unfortunately, the sisters were kept in this situation because their owners, who had acquired the sisters from a breeder in Canada, were afraid that the wolves would be discovered; and thus, the two wild souls were kept locked up in a very uncomfortable situation. They were not well socialized at all and had no real training on how to properly interact with humans and other animals. It wasn't until the owners were no longer able to keep up the charade that Indigo and her sister were given to a dog rescue in Washington state.

Over and over again the girls attempted to escape from the shelter through digging. Even when they did escape, Indigo and Amaris stayed close and came back to the enclosure often for feeding. It wasn't long before W.O.L.F received a call requesting aid from their partners in Washington, who wanted to ensure that the sisters would not be harmed or end up breeding with the wild wolves in the area, which would taint the genetics of the recovering wolves. Thankfully, the call was answered and the two wolf dogs were brought safely to Colorado to live in their new, and better, home. It took a while for Indigo and her sister to become comfortable in their new surroundings, but finally, they settled down and began to enjoy the freedom and space that the Sanctuary offered them. Now the pair can relax and roam as they like within their enclosure, while also being safe and free from harm. It is wonderful what sanctuaries like this can do for dogs that really need them.

Dog Name that Starts with 'In' Considerations

When considering dogs that are a good fit for "In" names, the first and foremost trait will be breed origin. For instance, dogs that were created in America would definitely be a good fit for a name like Indi or Indiana; it would be even more perfect if that is a state you live in or where your dog was born! For dogs that are from Indian origins, such as the Indian Pariah dog, Chippiparai, Rampur Hound, and Indian Mastiff, names like India and, of course, Indian would be top of the line options to consider. Coloring and personality traits are the next check boxes that can be combed over when considering an "In" name. The title of Indigo, for instance, could be an excellent fit for a Blue Heeler or Kerry Blue Terrier; perhaps even dogs with super blue eyes, like a Siberian Husky or Australian Shepherd. Whatever reason you decide to choose one of these names for your dog, there is no doubt that the meaning will be special and unique. Titles such as Inigo, which means my little love, and Independence, which means freedom, are very special and endearing names that can live on in your memory forever.
