Story
Meet Ms. Indy Anna Bones! “Indy”
Indy is a lovable, playful, and absolute goofball of a Pit-Boxer mix. Though she started out as the runt of her litter, what she lacks in size she more than makes up for in heart. Extremely intelligent and deeply affectionate, Indy is a true "snuggle-bug" who will quickly become your shadow, happy to rest her bones as close to you as possible. She perfectly matches the energy of her household; whether you are running around completing chores in the yard or settling in for a long movie marathon on the couch, Indy is content to join in on the action or snooze nearby.
Playtime is one of Indy’s absolute favorite things. She is utterly devoted to tennis balls, improving her fetch game at every opportunity, and is even showing signs of becoming a stellar frisbee dog for an owner interested in teaching her. Her intelligence shines brightest during training. She understands boundaries much faster than expected, and training her to sleep peacefully in her dog bed through the night was entirely effortless. While she politely refrains from begging for human food, she is highly treat-motivated and eager to learn new tricks. On walks, she is well-behaved on her leash, though she can be timid. When loud noises startle her, she simply needs a gentle handler who will allow her to sit, process her surroundings, and relax before continuing on her way.
Sadly, Indy has a history, and will need a patient hand to help guide her to becoming the amazing companion we know she can be. She has some food resource guarding and she would growl at the cats in the home if they approached during meal time. So either no cats or cats that won't bother her while she eats. She has not made any aggressive movements or actions but she is tense during mealtimes. Young children scare her, and will need help through training on how to be around them. Patience, time, and care will help her through the mild trauma she displays. She’s timid around large men, but once you gain her trust, she will snuggle you till you can’t handle any more.
This dog has a lot of potential, she would flourish in an environment that has another dog for her to have a buddy, learn from, and grow with. She will match your energy levels, whether its running around doing chores around the house and yard, or long movie marathons on the couch or in her bed, whichever your household allows. She’s an absolute sweetheart and will fill your home with joy and love.
