I am very happy to report that sweet Indy has a new, wonderful family to call her very own. She found a home with a nice couple who lost their previous RAGOM dog in August.
Indy will be an only dog and the center of their attention. She is already loved and wanted, and she is with people who are excited and committed to building a life-long relationship with Miss Indy. I wish them all the best in their life together, filled with many happy, positive experiences for each of them.
The best is yet to come, Indy!

We are getting to know Indy (Dumbo) and what would be best for her forever home. This sweet gem loves people and is very gentle. She sometimes gets so excited and will jump up on you. With a quick turn, she is learning to stay down to enjoy some love.
We have found that Indy has problems adjusting to other dogs and has not learned how to read signals from them on when to stop playing, respect boundaries, and take a break. She can get a bit overly excited and become a bossy girl during her play time.
Therefore, we want Indy to be an only dog in her adoptive home so she can have a calm environment to focus on loving her family and learn how to appreciate other things.
Indy has been enjoying walks and does very well on a leash. She doesn’t pull at all. She likes to prance along just in front of you. Her playful, puppy self loves to pounce on leaves that blow around.
Indy has not had an opportunity to be around cats, but she does have low prey drive. So a home with cats might be possible.
We also have little experience with how Indy will interact with children. Indy is young and energetic so kids over 10 years of age will be the best fit for her so the children are large enough not to get knocked over. Children who have had experience playing with dogs and who know how to behave around dogs will also be considered.
A fenced yard is preferred; however, if a family is committed to walks, training, and enough physical and mental exercise to keep this young girl busy, she should do fine without a fence.
Indy's family must have time to accomplish a defined exercise and training plan. We know Indy is a sweet, good dog that learns quickly and is food motivated, which helps with training. She has already learned how to give you her “shake” paw!
Indy loves attention by being pet, playing fetch, and being interactive with her humans. She will require you be an active participant and make her an important part of your life. If you able to devote time, training, and structure daily, Indy will shine, adore you, and return every bit of love you give.

This young gal, about 18 months old, came from China. She was given her name because she has bigger ears. She was never called by her given China name, and she is growing into her ears now. We call her Indy.
Indy served her quarantine time in a previous foster home with several other dogs. She was in their face when playing so was kept separate. She can live with another dog if he or she tolerates rough play.
I have one adopted dog from Korea that is 6 years old. They get along fine until Indy tries to put her tennis ball or a stick in his face. For the most part he doesn't care, so it took a week for him to tell her off. They roll in the grass together and love to chase each other (without the tennis ball). Play time is fun!
She is crate trained, sleeps all night, and goes in when you need to leave her. I feed her separate from my dog. She was on medication when she came to me and took it with peanut butter in her food bowl with her meals.
Indy loves every person she meets, young and old. She likes the neighbor's small dog next door, and even when it is barking at her through the chain link fence, she shows no reaction. The neighbor has a motorcycle and it doesn't scare her.
She loves to retrieve and brings the ball back to you. She played very nicely with a 7-year-old friend for several hours the past few days. She knows how to sit when asked and comes when you call “Indy.” She takes treats from your hand very gently. She doesn't get on the furniture. She has some weight to gain yet.
I suggest no dog parks because someone else might throw a tennis ball for their dog. I suggest dog obedience classes so she learns to behave properly around other dogs.
With the right forever home, Indy will be a great family member for many years. If you are interested in this young, dark red gal, review the Adoption information under the ADOPT tab.
