About Indigo

Meet Indigo, a handsome young Shepherd who came to us on August 16th, 2026. This large boy may feel a bit fearful around newcomers, but with time, kindness, and patience, he’s sure to blossom into a loyal companion. Indigo is looking for a family that can support his journey, helping him build confidence and allowing him to settle in at his own pace. If you have children, they should be 10 years or older and available for the initial meet and greet. For families with other dogs, a meet and greet at our campus is required to ensure a harmonious fit. Indigo has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, making him ready for his new home. If you’re willing to give him the understanding he needs, you'll likely find a truly special friend in Indigo. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
