My story

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

Joe was found as a stray in Dyer with his two brothers. They are currently in foster care gaining weight, receiving their vaccines, and learning how great it can be to be a dog! They should be ready for adoption in early February!

Here is what his foster has to say:

`I am fostering Kevin and Joe, the 2 male pitty puppies. The boys are doing well,eating smaller meals several times a day to help gain weight to be big and strong boys.

We are working on:
Potty training- We use puppy pads during the night, with some accidents.
Wearing collars/harnesses
Leash walking
Some basic commands

Both boys have been exposed to (with no problems):
Other dogs
Cats
Little children

Joe is probably the runt of the litter, but don`t let his size fool you. He is very adventurous, smaller, but mighty. He doesn`t allow his big brother, Kevin, to bully him.
Joe is a lover though. Once you gain his trust, he will smother you with kisses.`

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Hobart was founded and received it's charter in 1954. Before this time, people were struggling to find a solution to the ever increasing number of strays and running animals who often met a cruel fate. With no facility to hold stray and abandoned animals, valuable and loved pets were sometimes cruelly mistreated or euthanized because they had wandered from home; strays were often shot in the streets.
The shelter was founded by a group of local citizens; the land donated by Bertha Jacoby. The first president, Morris Cox, started a drive to raise funds, supplies, time, labor, and material...anything people were able to give. Through the help of many, the shelter became a reality.
Originally the main office fronted Route 130. But, as the number of animals being brought to the shelter grew, so the shelter had to grow. In the mid-sixties, the present office and large dog kennel were added.
The Society has provided animal control for the City of Hobart since 1957, when we took in 3,000 animals. This number increased to 4,500 in 1960; 8,889 in 1964; to 12,430 in 1972. 10,000 to 12,000 was the norm until the early 80's when Lake County Animal Control's new facility was built.

In 2018, we officially became a no-kill facility. In 2019, we took in 2400 animals.In the very busy summer months we are approaching a full house, we do suggest people with their own litters try their local shelters and animal control facilities. Part of the reason for our popularity is the cleanliness of our kennels and the fact that we have no "set time" for the animal's stay with us. This depends on the individual animal's health and adoptability.

Our mission is to Build and Strengthen Pet Families.
