My story

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

Now hiring: experienced human for high-performing good boy.

Attention job seekers: Indi, a 2-year-old Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix, is
officially opening applications for the role of Loyal Human and Life
Teammate.

Job Description:
You’ll report to a brilliant supervisor who already knows sit, down, stay,
and place — and will demonstrate these skills daily. Expect to take
frequent walks, during which Indi will stop and sit at every intersection
like the professional he is.

Requirements:
• Must have experience managing highly intelligent employees (aka working
dogs).
• Should provide structure, clear communication, and occasional praise in
the form of treats and tennis balls.
• No small animals on-site, please — they’re a distraction to productivity.
• A sense of humor and a willingness to learn are a plus.

Perks & Benefits:
• House- and crate-trained team member.
• Excellent with dogs and kids.
• Calm and composed during meetings (aka walks).
• Comes with unlimited loyalty, cuddles, and companionship.

Indi doesn’t just want an employee — he wants a partner. Someone ready to
lead with kindness, keep him engaged, and help him reach his full
potential. Apply today and start your best job yet — loving Indi.
