Looking for a chill cuddle bug who also loves to play? Miss Indy is your girl! This smart, very sweet girl will steal your heart with her happy wiggles and grateful attention.

Likes: peanut butter stuffed Kongs, and playing with toys

Temperament: She is a very alert, affectionate, and attentive girl. She is a great listener who does well with crate training. She aims to please, and knows sit, down, and shake.

Energy level: She is good on the leash, and loves going on walks.

Favorite activities: playing fetch with her people, walks and belly rubs

She is good with men, women, kids over 6. Not food or toy aggressive. Crate trained. Not a fan of cats- she will ignore them until they get close and then she goes crazy. 

Not good with: Indy would prefer to be the only pet in her home. 

Challenges: Needs a fenced in yard to help her feel safe. She needs calm, consistent limits and rules. She was surrendered from a family that was unfamiliar with how to correct and train large breed dogs.

No known medical issues: None known, she is spayed

Indy would thrive in a home that is experienced with large breeds. She is a gentle giant with lots of good energy. Calm, gentle direction is new to her, but she responds to it wonderfully. Because of her past experiences, this girl would thrive most in a home where she could potentially be an only dog and soak up all the love and attention, she deserves without sharing the spotlight.
