Indie's story

　　Hi, my name is Indie, but my foster mom thinks we might want to change it to Loverboy.

　　I'm a beautiful 60 pound yellow lab. I've had the same home since I was a puppy, but my parents got sick and can't take care of me anymore so now I'm looking for a new family to love. I'm 11 years old, which you might think means I'm slow and nap all the time, but instead I am really strong, fit and love to walk or play. I am really easy going, well behaved in the car, and I don't bark much even when I see rabbits and birds out in the yard. My previous family says I am good with kids and other dogs, though I am a little cautious of large males. I have seen the cat at my foster home and haven't chased it or barked at it, but we haven't been too close yet. I am potty trained and trustworthy around the house. I definitely need some exercise and mental stimulation, especially in the morning. I can be high energy when I get excited and I kind of bounce like a kangaroo when I realize I am going for a walk - I can't help it, I love my walks! My foster mom says I need to learn some manners on the leash, but I am pretty smart and she thinks I can learn quickly with some training. I also like playing tug of war and other fun games. Once I get a little exercise, then I'm happy to snooze through a movie or hang out with you. I just figured out what a dog bed is for and man, I have been getting some great power naps on mine. If you are looking for a smart, loving yellow lab who loves adventure and cuddles, I might just be your guy.
