Celebrities often post glamorous photos, but sometimes a post stands out for a special reason. Urmila Matondkar’s latest Instagram update is one of those times.
The actress, who has over 1.2 million followers, introduced her beloved Indie dog Laila on Instagram. At Dogopo, we knew we had to share this moment with other dog lovers.
The photo shoot shows Urmila in a beautiful green outfit, but Laila truly steals the show. Calm, confident, and full of personality, the black-and-white Indie dog poses easily next to her. These photos are more than just pictures; they celebrate the bond between a person and her dog.
When introducing Laila, Urmila wrote, “Guess who is making her Insta debut? My sweetest, most loving and beautiful Laila… Send her all your love.” She also added an important message: #AdoptDontShop.
That one hashtag says a lot.
All over India, many Indie dogs wait in shelters or on the streets for someone to give them a home. They are loyal, smart, healthy, and perfect for Indian families, but many people still choose expensive pedigree breeds instead. When a public figure shares their adopted Indie dog, it helps change how people see these wonderful pets.
We especially liked a behind-the-scenes photo where Laila leans lovingly toward Urmila during the shoot. It’s a simple moment that perfectly shows the trust and friendship rescue dogs share with those who give them a new start.
At Dogopo, we always say every Indie dog deserves to be celebrated, and Laila shows us why. She just made her Instagram debut, but she’s already touched thousands of hearts.
Thank you, Urmila Matondkar, for using your platform to celebrate adoption and prove to everyone that some of the best companions aren’t from breeders. They’re just waiting for someone to bring them home.
Welcome to Instagram, Laila. We hope this is just the start of many more wonderful moments together.
