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 get along beautifully with other polite dogs after a proper introduction, and I’m very respectful of cats — I mostly just let them do their thing.

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. If you’re looking for a sweet gal to add to your pack, apply at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
