INDU - DUTCH SHEPHERD / CATTLE DOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dutch Shepherd / Cattle Dog / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $250. Hi there, I’m Indu — and I’m hoping you’ll see the moonlight in me. I’m a 4.5-year-old Dutch Shepherd mix, about 65 pounds of quiet love and gentle soul. My name means “moon” in Hindi, and just like the moon, I’ve been learning to shine a little more each day. When I first came to my foster home, I was so shy that I’d stay in the other room or outside, watching the world from a safe distance. But with time, patience, and kindness, I’ve started to believe that people can be safe and love can be real. Now, I sleep on the bed, wag my tail when my humans come home, and even ask for pets (they feel amazing, by the way). I’m still learning to be brave — loud noises and sudden movements can startle me, so I’d do best in a calm home with kids 12 and up. But I promise, I’m trying every day to grow into the confident dog I know I can be. I would probably do best as an only pet, as other pets kind of stress me out. I do live with other dogs in my foster home, but can sometimes be overbearing to them. So if you have another dog I would need you to be understanding that I take some time to warm up. I’m house-trained (never had an accident!), I know my name, and I come when called. I’m not a barker, and I can be trusted to roam the house while you’re away. Walks are one of my favorite things — I’m still working on not pulling, but it’s just because I get so excited to explore the world with you. If you have a little patience and a lot of love, I’ll give you my whole heart. I’m not perfect, but I’m trying so hard — and I hope you’ll see the beauty in that.
