About Indy

Indy is pure good nature with a Shepherd/Labrador Retriever personality—a soulful look, loyal presence, and steady desire to be your companion. At about 3 years and 45 pounds, he’s as happy going for walks as he is sprawling on the couch with his people. He notices everything—especially the crinkle of a snack bag—yet he never loses his calm, easygoing approach. Indy thrives with a bit of space to stretch out, ideally in a home where he can both protect the yard with gentle vigilance and settle in for a good cuddle. He's smart and always hoping for clear direction or a little job to do, but he’d never say no to some extra treats and time with his favorite people. Indy gets along well with other dogs, is house trained, and brings the kind of affection you can count on. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
