My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Indie!

A spirited four-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix from Easton, MA, whose vibrant personality is as striking as his one blue and one amber eye. Wrapped in a sleek white coat with merle patches, Indie is the picture of a playful, intelligent companion who's always up for an adventure—especially if it involves tug-of-war with his favorite rope toy or a game of fetch in the yard!

Indie is a true explorer at heart and thrives in an environment where he can stretch his legs, sniff out new scents, and soak in the great outdoors. If you're someone who enjoys outdoor activities, Indie would love nothing more than to join you on long walks, especially in the woods where he can engage all his senses!

This lovable goofball is both affectionate and incredibly treat-motivated, which makes training an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Indie knows an impressive list of commands: "sit," "lay down," "paw," "wait," "leave it," "look," "stay," "gentle," "touch," and even "find it"—he’s eager to show off his smarts for the right reward. He’s also been crate-trained, making him a well-rounded companion when it’s time to settle down after an active day.

However, Indie’s high energy means he needs an enriching environment and a dedicated caregiver who understands his needs. He has worked hard through positive reinforcement training to manage his reactivity toward other dogs, but he will need a guardian who can continue helping him with these impulses. Due to this, Indie would thrive best as the only dog in a home without small children, but he gets along well with cats and could be a wonderful feline-friendly addition.

With his love for activity, a secure fenced yard is essential for Indie, giving him space to run and explore safely. And while he may take some time to warm up to new people, his loyalty and love shine through once he feels comfortable. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and on a special vet-prescribed diet due to a chicken intolerance, ensuring his health stays in tip-top shape.

Could Indie be the playful, affectionate, and intelligent companion you’re looking for? If so, get ready for endless games of tug-of-war, nature walks, and all the joy he’s ready to bring into your life. Does Indie sound like your next adventure buddy? Reach out today at adopt@joyfulpets.com!
