Indy - was picked up as a stray and taken to the local shelter. He was so frightened that he didn't move for a day or two but then began taking treats from one of our rescuers.  When the rescuer picked him up from the shelter, he was even more frightened by all the goings on and he panicked. Poor Indy was so matted that we thought he was a she (how embarassing) until the groomer went to work. Well, he's been shaved, gotten up to date on all of his vaccinations, shown to be heartworm negative, been neutered and has had a dental.  Indy is looking for a new home. He's a little timid at first but is a silly little fellow that loves to go for rides in the car, visit stores where dogs are allowed and will do a couple of tricks.   Indy also likes to take walks on a leash and is very courteous to others that he meets.   Indy is about 7 years old, 12 inches tall and weighs 15 pounds.  It's hard to tell right now but Indy is a tri and his coat is growing really fast. Take a look at the picture of Indy when he was at the shelter, see below for links.

UPDATE We found that Indy is a sweet, silly fellow with some very unusual quirks. He loves to take walks and he does well on a leash as long as he is on the right side. He gets along well with other dogs but does not like to play or interact with the other dogs. He only allows petting or stroking on his terms. Indy is learning to trust the humans to have a gentle hand, and he is learning to be gentle with human hands. Indy has learned several tricks; like Sit, Down, Gimme 5/Shake. Indy is mostly housebroken on tile or wood floors, he will tell you when he needs to go outside. He does not like crates if the doors are closed.

Indy may not do well with small children, he requires an adult willing to be ever so patient with his needs and quirks. The best home for Indy is one that is not expecting a cuddly Sheltie, where someone who is willing to wait for him to ask for attention.
