My name Indy for short. I have an adventurous streak and love exploring the world! I'm a 5-year-old Basset mix found as a stray. When I first came to BROOD, I had a heartworm infection, but after treatment, I'm now healthy, happy, and ready for an active life!
Now that I'm feeling great, I absolutely love going on walks! I do get a bit excited and tend to pull, but I'm working on my leash manners every day. I'm working on my house training so I'll need a patient family to help me fully master this skill.
True to my hound roots, I'm quite vocal and enjoy sharing my thoughts-whether it's about my day, spotting a deer, or letting you know it's mealtime. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal for me, as I love roaming, sniffing, and soaking up the outdoors. I would not do well in an apartment or condo.
I'm a people-lover and make friends with everyone I meet, including kids who stop for a quick pet on my walks. I get along with other dogs but would be ok by myself. I enjoy playing with toys, especially a Kong stuffed with snacks, and I'm always up for learning new tricks if there are treats involved. I already know commands like "sit," "down," and "kennel."
If you're looking for a loyal, adventurous, and sweet companion, I'm your guy! Contact BROOD today to start our adventures together. My adoption fee is $250.00.
**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference.
The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog's age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD's adoption fees are determined based on the age of the dog. 12/07/2024
