About India

India is a 12-week-old, 16-pound puppy with a gentle, social nature. She spends her days exploring in the backyard and happily plays with other dogs at her foster home. India’s easy affection makes her a delight to have around—she naturally gravitates toward friendly company and is young enough to adapt well to children, other dogs, and even cats. Her adopters should be home during the day and committed to her training and socialization. This is the time when India develops into a confident adult, so consistency and patient attention matter. India’s vaccinations are up to date for her age, and she is microchipped. She will need to be spayed at 6 months per adoption guidelines. Because India’s immune system is still developing, a home with a private fenced yard is required—apartments, condos, or townhomes without a private yard won’t be considered. Until about 16 weeks of age, India shouldn’t visit pet stores, public dog parks, or anywhere she might be exposed to unvaccinated dogs. If you’re looking for a sweet, active puppy who will thrive with structure and play, India might fit right in with your crew. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
