This sweet boy was found at our local animal control facility where he was huddled in the back of his kennel completely terrified of the sights and sounds of the loud shelter environment. Named Indy, this boy had no idea what a leash was or that people could be a good thing...but with a lot of time, patience, love and understanding Indy doesn't even resemble the dog he once was!
Indy now loves people and attention, walks well on a leash (he does not pull), enjoys his time out pottying but will beat you back to the door when he wants into the air conditioning. He is crate trained and willingly goes right in where he has his bedding and toys. At 10 months old, Indy is 42 pounds. Indy is sporting a tan coat with some white accents and has the most beautiful mascara eyes you have ever seen! Indy has some mottling in his coat as well as on his ears and nose (which is simply adorable)! We aren't quite sure of his breed make-up but he has some interesting coat colorings :-)
Indy enjoys playing with other dogs and will "play bow" (get down on his front end) hoping the other dogs will play with him. He likes to play chase and generally just tussle around with other canines so we would really love for him to be placed in a home with another playful dog his age and activity level.
Ideal Home
Indy's wish list consists of an inside, forever home with a fenced yard for interactive playtime, another doggy to play with, and a home with lots of toys and pet parents who understand the time commitment that a dog requires to acclimate properly. Adopters who are retired or work-from-home parents are ideal as Indy loves attention. We do not allow shock collars or "pens" as an alternative for a fenced yard. For safety reasons, we try not to place small dogs or puppies in families with children under 5.
Ongoing Health
Indy is healthy, fully vetted and ready for his new forever home. His adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccinations, de-worming, 4DX testing, testing for tick-borne diseases, spay/neuter, and a micro-chip. He is up-to-date on flea and heartworm medication.
Training & Support
Indy is a smart boy, learns quickly and will excel on a schedule. He is crate trained.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- A vet reference is required to ensure a great home.
- Your current or past pets must be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and on monthly heartworm and flea prevention.
- Puppy adopters please have a plan ready for sufficient attention and training, as puppies cannot hold it all day in a crate.
Transporation
We adopt up north and all over, so please ask for details. Out of state adopters must be willing to travel for pickup.
