Meet Indy!

 

Her Foster Mom has to say...

​

"Indy has completed her heartworm treatment with flying colors and is looking for her furever home. She has been with us for quite sometime and has become my shadow. Some may ask “why don’t you just keep her?”. There are 2 reasons. One, if I keep her we would not be able to continue fostering and two, she is not a good match with our dogs.

 

I would describe Indy as my sweet, sassy and a bit of a wild child foster. She has energy for days. A home with a fenced yard will be needed as well as lots of exercise. She has also been our first foster who likes to swim. It really stunk that she had to spend her summer on active restriction due to heartworm treatment.

 

Prior to her heartworm diagnosis Indy and I had started agility classes at High Octane Agility in Colmar. I think she could do well in that sport. With HW treatment done I wanted to get her back into a dog sport. This time, however, we are going to be doing Nosework. My thought process for the change in sport is because I’d love for her new adopters to continue working with her in a sport. Nosework would be a much better place to start if you are new to the world of dog sports. Plus, it is something you can easily do at home.

 

I am also working with a trainer. Indy is reactive to many dogs but not all dogs. She loves my submissive golden retriever but has/is having issues with my older dominant golden retriever. She seems to like puppies but needs to learn how to play with them. She maybe a tad aggressive in her play style for real young or small puppies.

 

I cannot say whether cats would be an issue for Indy or not but I’m going to error on the side of caution and say “no” to cats. As for children I’m not sure either. I do not have any young child living at home. I think older kids would be fine but Indy is too jumpy and rough for young ones. The trainer and I are going to test her out with her sons at some point.

 

If your ready for an active dog who is not to big or to small come check her out."
