If Indy Anna (Jones) had a theme song, it would be "I will survive." First, she was abandoned on the backroads of rural North Carolina. Then, just when it seemed that fate was turning in her favor and that Indy could begin living the life she deserved, we discovered that she needed not one, but two hip surgeries. Yet through it all, this incredible two-year-old pup proved true to her German Shepherd background. She was patient and loving and enjoyed the attention her medical and physical therapy team showered on her.
Not-so-fast forward six months, and Indy is ready to find a forever ho me. Indy is a loving, energetic girl who wants to play and chase and run with the best of them. Given her surgeries, however, she doesn't have quite the stamina but is getting stronger each day.
The perfect owner for Indy will understand the push and pull of Indy's life. She's full of energy that needs to be directed and focused. She'll want to run and needs to walk every day. Indy is highly dog social and looks forward to her pack walk each day. Fortunately, Indy walks well on leash and loves to explore, she is always up for an adventure. She loves other dogs, but she can't rough house as much as she would like. In fact, she's taught her foster siblings how to "play fight." She has helped exercise and train many foster puppies during her time in foster care. Through it all, Indy insists on being the diva and controlling the situation but has never shown any aggression, she is a benevolent diva. She loves kids but would do best with older children (over 16) who can understand her needs.
If you understand working dogs, you'll appreciate Indy's dilemma. She has the soul of a working dog, but in a body that can't support the working life. An owner with breed experience would be the best fit for her. She is a great companion, loving, sweet and super smart. You can take her anywhere and she will be ready to meet people and enjoy new dog friends. With Indy, you will get the best aspects of owning a German shepherd -- a "wicked" smart dog that will be a loyal and devoted companion.
Indy has spent time with a trainer who has helped focus her and teach her how to channel her working energy. She is very well trained, even with hand signals. Indy would do well with a male companion or a non-dominant female dog who enjoys positive play but not rough play. Indy has a high prey drive so no cats or small dogs. A fenced yard is a must.
Indy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on monthly heart worm preventative. She is also crate trained. If you have any questions, contact Donna at
