Hi, I'm Indie — I'm still brand new to this whole family thing, so I'm keeping my cards close for now. I like my kennel at night (haven't worked up the courage to try the big bed yet), I love exploring, I never say no to a meal, and apparently I snore like a champion. Snuggles? Yes please — once I trust you. I just need someone willing to earn that trust at my pace. My Ideal Home A calm, patient home with a securely fenced yard — non-negotiable for me right now. I do great with other dogs, cats, men, and women, so I don't need to be an only pet. I just need a family who understands that 'shy' means slow and steady wins the race. A Few Important Things to Know - Extremely shy & skittish: I'm a former breeder dog and still very new to home life. I startle easily and would be very hard to catch if I got loose — a fenced yard isn't optional, it's essential for my safety. - Still building trust: I'm honestly still figuring out what normal dog life even looks like. I'll need a patient adopter who lets me come out of my shell on my own timeline, not theirs. What I Bring to the Table I'm small, sweet, and worth the wait. Underneath the shyness is a snuggly, food-loving little guy who just hasn't had the chance to feel safe yet. Give me time, a secure yard, and a soft spot on the couch, and I'll show you exactly how much love I've got tucked away. I'm looking for the person patient enough to help me become the dog I'm meant to be.Click here to watch a video of Indie.
