 Indy, a clever black Labrador, is making headlines as a certified mold dog trained to sniff out hidden mold in homes. After rigorous training, he can detect dangerous mold types like black mold with over 90% accuracy. As a professional mold dog, Indy helps homeowners avoid costly and invasive inspections. His work not only protects properties but also improves health by identifying hidden mold sources. Mold Hunt, the company behind this innovative mold dog service, plans to expand across Florida. 

 Indy, a one-year-old black Labrador, was returned to his breeder when his first owners couldn’t handle his energy. At the same time, Zaneta Kuzel in Hobe Sound, Florida, was starting a mold detection business. She adopted Indy, and in March 2025, Mold Hunt, LLC was born. Now, Indy proudly works as a trained mold dog, sniffing out hidden mold in homes. 

 A personal health crisis inspired Kuzel to start her mold dog business. In 2024, she moved into a 30-year-old home in Hobe Sound, FL, after a clean inspection. Just two weeks later, she developed severe breathing issues and was diagnosed with pneumonia. The cause? Hidden mold behind the walls throughout her house. This experience led her to create Mold Hunt, using trained dogs to detect mold others can’t see. 

Indy is one of only a few highly trained mold dogs in the U.S. He completed a rigorous three-month certification program at the Florida Training Academy. There, he learned to detect mold types like Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and toxic black mold. Indy gives visual cues to show Kuzel exactly where mold is hiding. His specialized skills make him a valuable part of Mold Hunt’s detection team.
