This is Indy a German Shepherd Mix female about 3 years. Our rescue is trying to find a home for her because she is currently outside in a kennel all day because the owners don't have time and are not home most of the day. She needs a home where she will be cared for and exercised. She is very loving and energetic. Her sister was recently adopted and she's very sad she lost her companion and is eagerly waiting to find a home. Indy has been assessed by our trainer and she is extremely smart, learns so fast. Our trainer said Indy can become a service or emotional support dog. She is intuitive and her level of intelligence is amazing.December 13, 2024, 1:09 am

Story
*Courtesy Post San Diego, CA* Due to the current owner's 2 yr child who has severe allergies they are looking to re-home Athena. Athena is a sweet girl, energetic, loves attention, loves long walks. She loves people and is good with kids but would probably do better in a home with kids who aren't toddlers , who know how to pet her. She does not get along with cats and is dog reactive. Housebroken, crate trained. Medical history: She was born with hip dysplasia but it is not affecting her as of right now. She is still extremely energetic but I try not to let her run or jump.
