About Indie

Meet Indie, a vivid personality wrapped up in a 45-pound frame. This young mixed breed boy is not just smart but also incredibly affectionate. With an impressive repertoire of commands—like sit, lay down, stay, and come—he’s eager to please, though his playful spirit sometimes takes over when distractions arise. Indie loves his walks and is great on a leash, enjoying car rides along the way. While he's fantastic with smaller dogs, larger, more energetic pups can be a bit overwhelming for him. This love bug truly adores his people, showing his affection with a warm heart and a willingness for adventure. Of course, he’s not without quirks. Indie enjoys digging, can be a bit vocal, and is prone to chewing through even the toughest toys. He might nip at ankles when he's excited about going for a walk. His family should be ready to train him, as he's never had formal training but demonstrates immense potential with the right guidance. An active family that can provide exercise and mental stimulation will suit him perfectly. Life changes have impacted his current family’s ability to keep up with him, but they love him dearly and want the best for him. Indie is looking for a home where he can thrive. Could you be that match?
