Indie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

This is beautiful Indie who is a GSPxSpringer, she is a few months off 4 years of age and her family have had to make the sad decision to rehome her because of a change in their circumstances where she is spending too much time alone. Indie loves playing with her ball, going on long walks in the woods where she likes to chase the wildlife and lots of cuddles. Out on walks she is fine with other dogs and will happily ignore them unless they pinch her ball, then she has been known to be a bit snappy with them and tell them off. She also listens better with her training after a good run because she can be very excitable while on lead and at the start of a walk, luckily she is happy to be walked by anyone willing to take her, she has a good recall especially if you show her her ball. Indie has happily lived with a female sprocker of a similar age and was the more dominant of the two, however she can also be the more anxious one around strangers, choosing to hide behind her owners legs when she’s approached. She can give a warning bark when she feels uncomfortable but if the stranger or visitor shows her a ball and offers to play with her they become instant best friends. Her owner has said that it’s easy to read Indies body language and to see when she’s feeling uncomfortable, allowing them to move her away from those situations. If she hears a loud noise like a bird scarer going off she rushes straight back to you. If you do stop to talk to people while out walking she does bark at her owners to keep moving or to throw her ball. She is living with young children 2-4 years who she adores and has been great with and has known the younger one since birth. She is fine to be left after exercise for a few hours with the run of the house and normal just snoozes. She is fine on car journeys but can whine when she gets excited for the start of her walk. Indies reactions around cats are unknown because she hasn’t come across any, she does bark at livestock more from fear than anything else, so careful introductions and desensitisation would be needed. Gorgeous Indie is currently in the Chesterfield area and will be rehomed with her 5 weeks free Agria Insurance and our Adoption Contract. If you feel you can offer this loving, timid playful girl a home please contact us. GSP Rescue UK Terms and Conditions apply. 💜🐾🐾 © GSP Rescue UK 2016–2026 GSP Rescue UK is a working name of German Shorthaired Pointer Trust, a Registered Charity in England & Wales No. 1172457

About Indie

What life with Indie looks like

Indie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Indie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Indie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. GSP Rescue UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Indie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Indie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — GSP Rescue UK will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Indie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Indie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with GSP Rescue UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Indie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
