Who’s this furry friend? Lepa, our Top Dog! Lepa’s mom Wendy was the top individual fundraiser at Mutt Strut 2011, collecting more than $7,000 to help the animals at IndyHumane.
Lepa (her name means “beautiful” in Slovakian) was born in California in August 1998, and was adopted into Wendy’s family on Halloween of 1998. When her family moved to Indiana, Lepa traded her sunny rays for the unpredictable Indiana weather too. But, that’s not all bad, Lepa LOVES to play in the snow! As a woolly-coated husky, she’s naturally adapted to cold.
When she’s not acting as our “Ambassa-dog” and encouraging people to donate to IndyHumane, she loves to go fishing with her family. While she’s out on the boat, she sometimes gets so excited about fishing that she’ll lick the day’s catch!
