🌟 Meet Indy, the Spirited Little Kelpie with a Big Heart! 🐶 At just 3 years old and around 40 pounds, Indy may be small in stature, but let me tell you, she is MIGHTY in personality, intelligence, and love! This delightful Kelpie-Cattle Dog mix is a fabulous fusion of playful mischief and affectionate charm—a lively companion who adores her humans and truly thrives on interaction. Indy is on an exciting adventure of growth! She's currently in private training to polish her manners and work on her prey drive, and she’s making absolutely wonderful progress! 🌼 How incredible is that? This clever girl is eager to please, and her love for food makes training sessions not just productive but downright fun. Who doesn’t love a food-motivated superstar? 🎉 Indy’s favorite pastimes? Oh, where do we begin? - She loves running along the fence line, cheekily chatting with the neighbor dogs through knotholes—this girl is a total social butterfly! 🦋 - In the garden, she puts on her little pest control hat, hunting grasshoppers and voles with pride like the superhero she is! 🦗💪 - When you leave her alone, she’ll be the sweetest window-watcher, greeting you with a heartwarming enthusiasm that makes it feel like an eternity has passed, even if you just took out the trash! 🗑️❤️ - And let’s not forget her playful spirit with kids; she adores them and has a gentle energy that perfectly complements family life! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 In the home, Indy is well-behaved, even when left alone. No need for a crate, as she’s been a perfect angel. She’s mastering her basic commands and making strides in her leash manners—using a gentle over-the-nose leash helps her strut her stuff beautifully! 🐾 Now, Indy enjoys playing with other dogs, but she can be a bit selective, so slow and proper introductions are key! Due to her instincts, it’s best to avoid the German Shepherd breed as they just don’t vibe well together. 🐕❌ Indy’s Ideal Home: - A loving family with children or active adults who adore engagement and playtime! 🎈 - A secure, fenced yard where she can explore and frolic to her heart’s content! - Possibly a compatible dog buddy (with good intros, of course!) 🐶💖 - Someone patient and consistent, ready to continue her positive training journey. Now, let’s take a trip down memory lane! Before her rescue, Indy was a hard-working ranch dog who faced significant struggles. Injured and pregnant, she endured harsh conditions, showing unfathomable strength as she dug a hole in the frozen ground to keep her seven precious pups warm until help arrived. Talk about a heart of gold! 💖✨ Now well and truly safe and thriving in her foster home in Kimberly, Idaho, Indy is ready for her forever family. Her foster is smitten with her and has even generously sponsored 50% of her adoption fee to help her find the perfect match! 🌈 So why not become part of this beautiful lady's journey?
