Temperament
- Indy will be extremely loving and loyal to his family and close friends.
- Indy is friendly with most dogs and in a controlled one on one environment, has made many buddies. However, on occasion, he will take a dislike to certain dogs. If he’s on leash, best to remove him from the situation, to avoid pulling and lunging. A harness would be better for walks.
- Indy gets nervous in new environments and around new people. With patience and treats, he can come around and earn trust.
- Indy is an excitable boy with lots of energy. He is very smart, learns easily.
- He loves playing in the snow, fetch and running at full speed!
- Indy is crate trained and can easily learn that a particular area of the house is his and another is off limits. He is fine being left uncrated as well, and will not push down gates.
- Indy has had obedience training and had other training. He knows -Wait (Encouraged to sit and “wait” before leaving or entering house), leave it (also used when walking by squirrels, rabbits, other animals, humans), sit, shake a paw, down, go to your bed.
- Indy is muzzled trained, which is required at the vet and in some new situations.
- He takes a low dose/low cost anxiety medication
Owner Suitability
- Indy will do best in a home with less people coming and going.
- Indy requires a home with dog savvy people, who understand his insecurities and will have patience in new situations.
- Indy will succeed with proper and consistent training, building confidence through this.
- He has lived with kids, and did very well with them, but new ones coming in and out of the house could make him uncomfortable, therefore a home without kids under 16 is a must.
- A home with no other animals will be best suited for Indy.
- Indy would be happy with an active owner, he loves to run, and in the right weather, up to 5km would be fine while he’s young and fit. He is familiar with agility and loves fetch with ball or Frisbee.
- This boy absolutely loves cuddles and couch time and will be happy to have lazy days with you!
- He would benefit from a fenced in yard, especially since he likes to be free and is most comfortable in familiar places.
- His new owner must understand that the vet visit will require a muzzle and possible sedation.

1. All our dogs are fully vetted: they are fixed, chipped and up to date on all their shots and seasonal meds, if applicable.
2. Our dogs have basic obedience.
3. There is of course an adoption process. In the event of a suitable pairing, there is an adoption fee of $700 + tax.
There is a fairly structured adoption process which involves a commitment of time from potential adopters, and multiple trips to our facility. We are open to long distance adoptions, so long as the milestones of our adoption process are met https://www.keshetkennels.com/services/rescue-adoption/adoption-process/).
An adoption application, and home visit are part of the adoption process: https://www.keshetkennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Adoption-Application-2023.pdf

More about this rescue
Keshet Kennels/Rescue, in addition to providing services such as boarding/daycare and facilities rental, is a large breed dog rescue focused primarily on owner surrenders. Under certain circumstances we take dogs from other sources. Keshet’s focus is large breed dogs because we believe that large breed dogs are more at risk.
Neither Keshet Kennels nor Keshet Rescue are registered charitable organizations. Currently, the care of rescued dogs is funded by the owners, from individual sponsors and a portion of Keshet Kennels’ revenues.
