Indy

Male · Young · 3 years

Indy is a wiggly, loving and enthusiastic boy who will go from strength to strength in the right home with adopters who will put in some time and effort to set him on the right tracks and build his confidence up a bit. He's very foody so ongoing training should be easy and lots of fun. He is learning how to socialise with other dogs and making progress, but he will need to be the only pet in his home while he continues to build his skills. Indy is the epitome of the word doofus! He's a super friendly 2yr old Bulldog Crossbreed who loves people. All his friends describe him as a sweet and affectionate boy who the more he gets to know you, the more snuggly he gets! He will need adopters who are confident with larger, strong dogs and are up for doing plenty of training with him as he's got a good brain on him and likes to use it, but needs to work on his focus a bit! He'll need someone around all the time initially to get him into a good routine. So if you are looking for a big, snuggly boy and you enjoy doing lots of fun activities with your dog add Indy to your favourites.

About Indy

What life with Indy looks like

Indy is a large young adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Leeds in Leeds.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Indy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Indy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Leeds handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Indy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Indy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Leeds 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 Indy 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 Indy 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 Dogs Trust Leeds early rather than rehoming privately; they know Indy 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 (EN). 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.
