My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

⚠️IMMEDIATE FOSTER NEEDED⚠️

WHO: Spud🥔🥹🤎

WHY: Extreme kennel stress and anxiety when she is at the shelter. She actually will hurt herself in her kennel at the shelter. (In a home, she has been doing just fine when left alone). We do currently have her set up in a separate kennel in a quieter room to keep her as safe as we can, but that is only a temporary solution.

WHEN: Available immediately upon scheduled appointment and approved foster application. She is available to be fostered or fostered-to-adopted.

MISC: We know that that Spud's in-the-home needs may be hard to find; but she is very much so worth the effort to try to find exactly what she needs. Spud needs a quiet and consistently calm home with few visitors. Women only in the home, everyone should be teenaged and up, and we'd love it if the foster was knowledgeable about dogs with anxiety. Our Spud girl is a bit of project and we can help guide her foster or adopter through, we just need someone to be willing for her❤

Spud's little mind can be anxious at times. She is fearful and isn't sure about a lot of the world around her. However, once she trusts someone, Spud just wants to be close. We could see her being the most perfect companion to someone who needs a little bit of a pick-me-up at the end of their day. Spud is so loyal, so loving, and, not to mention, so CUTE! She is a little itty-bitty potato🤎🥔🐾

We think she will be most comfortable being the only furbaby. Spud is about three years old, is about 42-pounds, and is spayed. To foster her, fill out the application found here: www.michianapets.org/fostering. If you would like to adopt her, she is available to be fostered-to-adopted, as well❤

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is easy as 1-2-3!

Come into the shelter to meet our animals! We find the best way to select a pet is to spend time with them. Sometimes what you expect from a photo on Facebook is not what you’ll find when you meet them. We want you to know the good and the challenging about our animals!

Fill out an application at the shelter. We do not provide applications in advance, because we want you to meet the pet first. Allow yourself fifteen minutes or so to complete the two page application.

You call us the next day for our decision. We review applications during the shelter’s closed hours. Sometimes we will have questions, or you might want to bring your dog to the shelter to see if it gets along with your potential new dog. Once we are all ready, we will schedule an appointment to complete your adoption contract, pay your fees and take your new pet home!

Adoption fees are:

Puppies (6 mo. & younger) - $195
Adult dogs - $145

Kittens (6 mo. & younger) - $95
Adult cats - $70

Rabbits - $50

Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils - $25

That includes all initial vaccinations (except rabies), spay or neuter if required, heartworm or feline leukemia testing, and flea treatments.

More about this shelter

The Michiana Humane Society provides a safe harbor for 1,200+ animals yearly. Most of these animals are surrendered by their owners who can no longer provide care. We also take in strays, abandoned, and unwanted animals found in our service area. Once here, healthy, non-aggressive animals are assured of our care until we find them homes, no matter how long it takes.

With an annual budget of around $550,000, our caring staff and volunteers provide shelter, food, basic medical care, and vaccinations. Since 2015, 100% of our dogs, cats and rabbits are spayed or neutered before being adopted. We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization relying solely on private donations; we receive no tax funds to help with our mission.

Our service area includes both LaPorte County in Indiana and Berrien County in Michigan, but depending on the animal we sometimes adopt beyond those borders.

The Michiana Humane Society & SPCA has been a leader in animal welfare since 1920, when a group of local women in the Long Beach, Indiana area began to collect small amounts of money to care for stray animals. In 1948, the organization incorporated and evolved into the Michiana Humane Society & SPCA, Inc. Over the years volunteers kept the shelter going with private donations and hard work.

The shelter moved to its current location at 722 Indiana Highway 212 in Michigan City in 1997. The shelter was designed to provide plenty of space for our residents, with separate facilities for dogs, cats, and other small animals. A classroom space is used for educational offerings and group activities, and Alynne’s Animal Aid Center, our veterinary suite, provides medical care for the shelter’s animals. Our outside space includes a kennel for dog play adjacent to the building, the three-part Bark Park for meeting dogs, and a three-acre fenced dog park used by the shelter to walk and exercise dogs, and available to the community by membership.
