Indy’s Personality
He is a very loving dog. He likes to cuddle and is very much a “people” dog. We often call him our shadow because he follows us from room to room and always is near. He currently lives with another dog and likes to play with her, but has shown food aggression. For this reason they are fed separately. Other than that he enjoys playing with her and being in the same space. He is very food motivated. He enjoys treats and will perform a few commands such as “sit” and “down” for a treat. Indy also enjoys going on walks. Young children seem to really stress him out. He has tolerated them in most situations, but will occasionally become jealous if they take attention away from him.
Why is Indy Being Rehomed?
We are concerned with Indy’s behavior with our two young children (mostly the 2 year old). He often acts stressed when they are in the same space and has growled several times. Although he has not done anything, we are worried it is leading to that. We also feel terrible that he stays in a room or in our yard instead of being a part of the family. He deserves a good home and to be able to roam his home freely. This has been very challenging for us to navigate as we love him so much, but ultimately we know our children’s safety comes first and Indy deserves a better quality of life.
We have tried medication and training prior to coming to this decision. We love Indy so much and finding a family that loves him just as much is very important to us.
