My name is Indy!

Indy is a 6-year-old, healthy, playful, ball-loving, high-energy golden retriever. He’s well-trained, knows all basic commands (plus some fun ones!), and is a smart and eager learner. Overall, Indy is a great dog, but has some behavioral quirks - he can be reactive on leash around animals, and is slow to develop trust with people. He often guards his food, toys, and personal space (especially when resting/sleeping) from people he does not trust, and may be startled and react if touched unexpectedly. With two very young kids in our home, we worry that Indy's reactivity could be problematic, so are rehoming.

Indy would thrive in a calm, structured environment with an experienced, patient owner who can help him work through these challenges (all are quite manageable, but requires planning). Ideally, he would be the only pet in a home where he can feel secure and build trust. With the right training, boundaries, and positive reinforcement, Indy is an incredibly loving and loyal companion.
