My name is Indy!

Meet Indy, born on March 7, 2020! This big, loyal, lovable guy has a calm and gentle nature most of the time, making him a sweet companion who loves nothing more than sleeping, getting pets, and keeping an eye on things as a vigilant watchdog. He’s got a protective instinct and enjoys barking to let you know when something’s up. As much as he’s a sweetheart, he does come with a few challenges. He can be reactive to other dogs, bikes, cars on the leash. With some focused training, his leash reactivity can likely be improved, but he’ll need a committed person who can provide that guidance. Additionally, he has some resource-guarding issues. He may guard food, toys, or anything he "claims," and can become aggressive if he feels his space or possessions are threatened. This behavior has led to bites before, so he needs a new owner who’s both patient and willing to work with him on this aspect. Given time and consistent training, he has the potential to improve greatly.
