When she was in high school, girl Courtney got sick. Doctors diagnosed Courtney with an autoimmune disorder, 15+ chronic illnesses, and different conditions. Because of that, Courtney spent most of her time at home.
Since she had free time to spare, Courtney started fostering shelter animals. She fostered over a hundred dogs but has not adopted one so far. Then, Indigo came into her life and completely changed Courtney’s life.
What made her decide to adopt her the most was that Indigo reminded her of her. Courtney thought Indigo was a perfectly healthy dog when she started fostering her. After a couple of weeks, she had to return Indigo to the shelter because she had a doctor’s appointment.
On examination, Indigo was found to have a heart murmur. And then, Courtney begins to find out how much she has in common with Indigo. They both have heart problems; both of them are heat intolerant, and both need to know when they need to rest.
And then came the bad news from the shelter. Doctors think Indigo must be put to sleep because of health problems. Because she resembled her, Courtney started fighting for Indigo, her beautiful dog.
Every day, she made a video showing Indigo at her best. How she plays, jumps, rejoices, runs, actually how every average healthy dog does. She did not want to let anyone as ill as she goes without a fight.
Eventually, the employees of the shelter agreed and gave up Indigo. Courtney says Indigo is why she can sleep the whole night after years. Even when she feels weak, Indigo gives Courtney the strength to go out and enjoy life.
They give each other a reason to fight and move on with life. Now, they cannot imagine life without each other.
