Story
Lucy is a sweet girl who loves to play with a tennis ball as much as she likes to lounge on the couch. She an old girl but still has some pep in her paws! Sadly, moving to a smaller space Lucy is not thriving in the living situation. She needs a home where she can be the only dog and have room to roam! She loves to play but only with kiddos who are 12 and older and will treat her with the respect and care that she deserves. If you like being active and wished for a fur companion to join you on your walks or hikes, Lucy is your girl!

Story
Maverick is a super sweet boy! He was rescued from the streets of Indianapolis. I have had him for about 3 years now. He loves to play with balls and run around the dog park (by himself)! He also loves cheese and peanut butter! He is estimated to be around 3-4 years old. I would love for him to be homed to a family that can give him the attention that he needs/deserves, along with train him properly. He knows basic commands (sit, stay, paw, lay down) when he’s inside, but is not crate trained (had separation anxiety when I first got him) nor does he do very well on a leash. He also lunges towards other dogs while leashed, but not when his energy is all the way out. I live in an apartment and he’s a hyper-active dog, and with me traveling often and working 2-3 jobs, I don’t get to see him or take care of him as much as I’d like to.

Nyko

Australian Shepherd Jack Russell Terrier

Male, Young
Westfield, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Nyko is a 1 year old Aussie/Jack Russel mix. He is incredibly playful, loves a good snuggle on the sofa, and picks up on commands pretty quickly. His crate trained, potty trained, knows a few commands, and we are currently working on walking better on a leash. Nyko is not yet neutered but is up to date on shots and has no medical issues. He lives in a home with 2 small children and cats and does well with them all, however, I would recommend that he is only around pets who are comfortable with higher energy dogs since he loves to play and can get rowdy. Overall, he is a very sweet boy and would love a family who can give him the attention, structure, and exercise time that he needs. We are rehoming due to relocating out of the country and not being able to import him. Potential adopters will be asked to a few questions to ensure a good fit. Nyko will come with a crate, bowls, food, toys, leash, etc.

Story
Olive is a 110 pound black female purebred Great Dane. She is 4 and will turn 5 on October 9. She is AKC pet registered. She loves to be outside, play fetch, go for walks but ultimately is a big couch potato. She has a very sweet personality, is great with people, and knows her commands well. Unfortunately, Olive has some behavioral issues around other animals. She would thrive in a situation where she was the only pet in the house. We are currently seeking a new home for Olive as she is not getting along with our other animals after coexisting for 4 years. Olive is dog reactive (has lived fine with our other dog in home), and has been through dog school. She recently is not getting along with our cat, including going after her. We are prepared to provide all her medical records, supply a start of food, and six months of heartworm and flea/tick medication. As well as any other reasonable accommodations to assist in transitioning her to a new home.
