My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

contact foster parent at lashleydunc11@aol.com

Indy is a sweet boy approx 3 years old. He walks nicely on leash with a harness; loves to play with toys - and occasionally will take one on his walks! He’s energetic and playful, but also loves to lay in the grass and chill. Indy is good in the car, smart and trainable- he already knows ‘sit’ and ‘down’ . Indy has been here too long and needs to find his forever home soon!

-loves children
-housebroken and crate trained
-non-destructive
-dog friendly*
-cat tolerant
-great dog for a variety of families

Indy is really fun dog with a great off button. He loves to get out and play; would in fact make the perfect running companion or even sport dog. However if chilling on the couch all day is more your speed, he is game for that too! He will just expect cuddles; personal space is not in his vocabulary.
He thrives off human attention and love! He is a smart boy and has his unique quirks too.
He loves long grass and standing on outdoor furniture (he learned that we in fact cannot stand on the inside dining table but foster mom does not care if I stand on the outdoor table, pool box, pool recliner or anything else outside). Really, he is probably part billy goat without the headbutts to your gonads. So if you ever wanted a pet goat but your stinky HOA won`t let you have one......

*He loves playing with other dogs! He does have a rough style of play so would need to be with another dog that can match that or be tolerant of that. However he is not a fan of sharing his beloved toys or food. So separate feeding areas and toy times needed.
He is learning his cat manners. He seems to want to play but he is a bit too rough to play with a cat; we are working on this.
And finally, Indy is absolutely great with children. He is very attentive to their needs; even carefully keeping small ones away from sharp corners and stairs.

Indy would do great as a single dog or with neutral doggy siblings.
I can absolutely pictures him living it up in a bachelor pad or with a young family. He would honestly be great at both.

Last note; Indy has some mad hops. He needs at least a 4.5 ft tall fence if let out in a fenced area.
