Meet Indie, a sweet and spirited 5 month old Anatolian Shepherd/Boxer mix with a heart as big as her paws! Weighing in at about 35 pounds (and growing...fast), she’s adorable and discovering the world one playful step at a time.

Indie is already off to a great start—she’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and up to date on all her preventative care. Currently being fostered in Houston, Texas, she’s settling into home life and showing everyone just how special she is.

Like any puppy, Indie is full of curiosity and energy, but she’s also proven to be incredibly smart. She’s catching on quickly to both potty and crate training, and with a little patience and consistency, she’ll continue to thrive and learn.

Playtime is one of Indie’s favorite things, especially when she’s romping around with her sister. She would likely do very well in a home with other dogs, as long as proper introductions are made. While she hasn’t met any cats yet, her young age and gentle nature suggest she could learn to coexist with them.

Because Indie is still working on her puppy manners, she’d do best with older, dog-savvy kids who can help guide her as she grows. She’s eager to please and just needs a family willing to continue her training and give her the structure she needs.

Indie absolutely adores toys and treats, and she’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and plenty of puppy snuggles into her forever home. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion to grow with your family, Indie might just be the perfect match!
