Indy

My story

Meet Indy – Your Gentle Giant in Waiting!At 75 pounds, Indy may look like a big boy, but he’s really just a softie with a heart full of smiles. This handsome pup arrived at the shelter as a stray, and while his past is a mystery, his future could be bright—with you! Indy has been friendly and affectionate with staff and volunteers, though he can be unsure in new situations. He’s especially hesitant with stairs and crossing thresholds. With time, patience, and positive reinforcement, he’s sure to build confidence. He gets along well with other dogs, though his play is a bit rambunctious and noisy—Indy’s big paws make quite the thump when he’s having fun! Because of his enthusiastic play style, we recommend bringing your dog in for a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good match. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a gentle soul and a goofy side, come meet Indy. He might just be the gentle giant your life has been missing!This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period.
