INDIANA

Meet Indiana (Indy), a most handsome blend of Shepherd and Border Collie! True to his heritage, Indy is highly intelligent and very athletic. He relishes physical activity such as romping in the play yards and hiking the trails with his favorite volunteers. His happy energy is boundless; he is a perfect workout buddy for someone who loves to run and exercise outdoors! Indy has previously thrived in foster homes, where he lived harmoniously with children, livestock, and several other dogs. Here are some glowing notes his foster family shared with us: "Indiana is such a sweet and affectionate boy! The way he belly crawls into our laps and gives full-body hugs just melts our hearts. Indy is extremely smart and easy to teach, and has already mastered basic commands like "come and "sit. He is potty-trained, sleeps quietly all night in his kennel, and he has lovely house manners. This handsome boy plays so nicely with other dogs, he and his PAWS foster brother (Theo) have so much fun together! Indy just adores people, he is instant friends with adults and kids alike. He behaved beautifully at his first off-site event, where he met dozens of people including Santa! A cool thing about Indy is that even though he is part Border Collie, he has no desire whatsoever to herd or chase our livestock. You can see in the photos he wanders peacefully around our horses like they aren't even there. He would do great as a family pet or a farm dog, he is such a good boy! We think Indiana is a perfect match for an active household that enjoys exercise and adventures. His intelligence and athleticism also make him a great candidate for agility course training, he certainly has the heart of a champion!
