Meet Indy, a sharp, energetic young dog with both Shepherd and Staffy in her background. She’s about 9 months old and weighs between 40 and 45 pounds, with a lean build that could use a few extra healthy snacks. Indy will probably stay at this size, but she’s still got puppy exuberance and loves to move. She thrives in active homes and genuinely needs someone who can keep her physically and mentally busy. Indy does well with another dog around—preferably one that isn’t looking to be in charge, since her play style can be rough and a bit dominant. If you have a dog that likes to wrestle but isn’t trying to run the show, Indy will likely be delighted. She’s crate-trained at night but doesn’t like long stretches alone during the day; she’s happiest when someone is around or when she can snuggle up for a nap nearby. Indy’s got some young-dog habits—think jumpy and mouthy when excited—which are improving with training, but she’ll do best in a home with older children who can handle her enthusiasm. She’s enrolled in a manners class, and if you adopt her before it’s finished, you’ll get to experience those sessions together. Indy follows her people from room to room, and when she finally tires out, she loves nothing more than curling up for a cuddle. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
