Story

> good with indoor cats, not outdoor cats as she becomes prey driven. > good with dogs, would benefit from a meet and greet first. > potty trained but needs let out at least three times a day to prevent accidents. > loves all people and Is only 1 belly rub away from being your new best friend. > Very mild food aggression if any animals try to eat out of her designated food bowl. Not food aggressive towards people at all. > had a cruciate ligament tear inx her knee at some point but two vets have said surgery is not required as it is an old injury that has had scar tissue to grow around it. She gets around just fine and isn’t in pain from it. Will likely need arthritis pain medication in the future according to her most recent vet visit. > she loves soft squeaky toys to play with but must be watched or she will eat them!

Details

Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Louie is a lovable, 7-year-old bundle of joy who’s ready to fill your life with laughter and cuddles! He’s a master at snuggling and loves nothing more than chasing squirrels in the yard. Louie’s big personality is sure to keep you entertained, and he’s looking for a home where he can enjoy plenty of love and outdoor playtime. He’s house-trained and eager to learn new tricks, though he’s still working on perfecting his leash manners. Louie would thrive in a home with a secure, fenced-in yard where he can stretch his legs and play to his heart’s content. While he’s best suited for a home without small children, Louie’s affectionate nature makes him an ideal companion for someone who has a little patience and lots of love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, funny, and snuggly friend, Louie is the one for you!

Pax

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Greenwood, IN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Pax is 1- to 2-year-old neutered male bully breed. He weighs about 55 lbs (should probably be closer to 60 lbs). He was adopted from shelter 8/26/24. His history was unknown. He was found tied to tree. He spent almost 2 months at shelter. He was neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped there. We have two existing adult dogs that Pax was brought into. We attempted to integrate our dogs with Pax very slowly and individually. Unfortunately, there has been aggression from Pax to our existing dogs on separate occasions. He would be best most likely in an only dog household. It is unknown how he would act with cats or small children. With all the above said, he is a smart, sweet, loving, playful and inquisitive dog with many amazing qualities. He loves to be around people and snuggle. He loves to have ‘zoomies’ and run around like a little nut. He is housetrained and gets fed in his kennel. He is a good walker without pulling much with harness. He will only go to a home that will love him.

Story

Frankie will be 3 February 16th. Frankie is good with children and adults. He shows dominant behavior with our other dog, not aggressive behavior. He would do well being an only dog or with a submissive dog. He would do best with an owner who is able to spend most if not all day with him. Frankie has a big personality for a small guy. Frankie loves to play fetch and he loves any kind of attention. He would do best with an owner who would let him sleep in the bed. *He comes with a small cage (he doesn’t use), leash/collar, a few outfits, his favorite toys/treats and a little amount of his current food to make sure he doesn’t get an upset belly. Frankie is up to date on all shots, microchipped and current on flea/heartworm medication. Any questions feel free to ask

McCordsville, IN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Woof! Woof! We are Harley Grace and Maisey, 4-year-old bonded sisters in immediate need of a new home together, if possible. While our parents love us very much, and have given us the best home, sadly we have to find new furever family. A little about us: we were found together at 4 weeks old outside of a barn in North Carolina. Our parents got us because our big sister needed friends in her later years in life. We loved playing with Bella until she crossed rainbow bridge and with our cousins; 3 German Shepards and 1 brown lab and still have play dates whenever we can. We love our human cousins too and love it when they want to throw our toys. We are both super loving, do everything together, & are just as happy chilling on the couch with Netflix as we are going on a car ride to the park. Our parents leave out full food bowls we graze on and love Milk Bones. We have always had a doggie door but are house trained and will let you know when we want to go out and smell the roses.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Beautiful Female black and white husky needs to be rehomed. Sassy Sasha is a Siberian husky registered with CKC. Needs a home with NO small children and NO small animals. Other dogs ok if introduced properly. Cats ok. She has attacked our small dogs and she bit my child. Sasha needs a home where the people understand dog language and their signals. She would thrive in a home where she is allowed to be the alpha dog. She needs a good husky owner. She is very stubborn. She is super smart, enjoys dog puzzles and playing with toys. She is crate trained and loves car rides. She is also super spoiled, we feed her dog kibble with vegetables and different toppings through the week. (Egg, liver, honey, fish). I could write 5 pages about how awesome this dog is and we will take serious inquiries only. Please only knowledgeable dog people. Sasha needs a strong alpha person.
