Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Please note. Indy is not part of our rescue program. If you are interested in meeting Indy, please directly contact his owner Claire at crcdsmith@yahoo.com or 925.628.1238
Indiana is my given name but all my friends call me Indy. I was born on a farm (DOB 7/29/14) but have lived in a suburban family home for 4 years. I would do well in a suburban home or a farm, as long as there are plenty of exercise opportunities for me. I don't enjoy the loud sounds and quick movements that children make so I can't be around children. Even well behaved quiet children cause me great concern, so I would need to be in a home without young children(under 12).
I like my canine friends and am not sure about felines. I usually sniff felines with great interest and only chase if they run. I love to chase squirrels, dragonflies, hummingbirds, and helicopters, though I can never catch them. I walk well on a leash, though cars interest me a lot so I should always be on a leash around busy road ways. I have been professionally trained in the common commands like: sit, wait, ok(release), come, down(laying), go to bed(tells him to go into his crate or onto his fluffy bed), and others.
I am obsessed with my ball and will chase the ball for hours. I will even bring the ball back and drop it at your feet so you can throw it for me until your arm gets tired. I'll always reward your efforts with ample amounts of love, free cuddle time, and guarding the yard. I love to protect my family from all sorts of intruders and will be sure that we are all safe. I do not give in to excessive amounts of barking and I always listen when you tell me to stop barking.
I do not make a fuss if you have to leave me home alone while you are at work. I do not cause any disturbances in the yard, not to patio furniture, garden gnomes, or lawns. I love to chew on large bones but when inside my house I like to play with soft squeaky plush toys. I love to lay on my soft fluffy bed inside the house or at your feet. I would even love to cuddle in your arms or on your lap for hours on end, if you would let me.
