Story
We need to rehome our beagle mix due to our older dog starting fights with him. We feel this is our best option for both of our dogs to keep everyone safe! He has been around other dogs and does great..our older dog does not like to be messed with the older he gets. He is good with kids and loves everyone. He is potty trained and crate trained. He stays in his crate when we are gone for long hours but we have been working on leaving him out while at work and does good. He sleeps in bed with us or our kids. He is a good dog who loves attention and to play. He enjoys being outside and chewing on bones. He loves going for walks. He is a great dog and deserves a great home...We want what is best for him!! He will come with his cage, E collar, leash, and dog bowls!

Story
Mya was a rescue dog we've had her for approximately 4 years. The rescue said she was Shepherd/Pit mix but we are not so sure. She loves people, kids, and even dogs and cats. However, she was never socialized with dogs and the way she approaches them scares them and they become defensive and attack and then she does the same but when they don't react to her advances she plays with them just fine. She thinks she is a lap dog, loves to lick and cuddle. Very affectionate. She is mostly housebroken, however will rarely go on carpet - never on rugs, vinyl, or laminate. She doesn't like going to the crate (takes forever getting there on command), but she is crated when we are away from home and at night. She sleeps the night without problem in her crate, but will make noise in the morning when she hears us up and about. She will bolt and run if she gets the chance and is too fast - a fenced yard will be needed. Does ok on leash. Wife has dementia and caring for Mya is now a problem.

Story
IvyDOB: 12/16/21Sex: FemaleWeight: mediumBreed: American Staffordshire terrierDate of Intake: 12/14/2022Ivy is a real good girl and she is crate trained but still has accidents in her crate, given she was an outside dog. It’s gonna take her some time and patience. Ivy loves to give hugs. She is thankful to be inside with people. Her energy level is medium, but she calms down quickly. Loves to get all the attention. She is treat motivated and she would learn quickly. She’s a really sweet girl and she loves squeaky toys and balls. She does like dogs not sure about cats.Ivy is a special and precious girl. She came to our shelter in mid December and she is just now becoming available. She has an internal medical issue with her female parts so we have been watching her closely and providing detailed care to help her heal until she was ready for her special family. Ivy will need a home where she can be a normal pup but maybe at a more relaxed level for a while while she continues to heal. She has had a vaginal drip since the day we brought her into the shelter. Her vaginal area is very irritated and for some reason will not heal. She has had exploratory surgery and many other tests but nothing has given us answers. The good news is that she has gotten better and the drip is very minimal. She is a unique case and no vet can pinpoint exactly what is wrong with her, however, she has survived the odds and we feel she is ready to be in a home and be loved. She will more than likely need medical attention for a while or life, so she will need someone who can reasonably provide for her financially. She is a little over a year old and we believe her to be a boston terrier mix? She is super sweet and loves all people and would more than likely be ok in a home with other pets.If you are interested in adopting this pet please visit www.blackfordcountyanimalshelter.com to complete our online adoption application.

Story
Ziggy is a 63lb terrier that is estimated to be around 6 years old. He is a very loveable guy and can be the best boy. He is one of our happiest pups despite his current situation. He would greet everyone that comes to the shelter if given the chance! He is not a good fit for cats and can be a bit dog selective so he will need a meet and greet for families that have pets already.If you are interested in adopting this pet please visit www.blackfordcountyanimalshelter.com to complete our online adoption application.

Story
ROSES ARE RED, THIS BOY IS BLUE. HE NEEDS A FAMILY, COULD IT BE YOU? I'm Blue and I am Blue in more ways than one. Blue is my name and rightfully so because I have this beautiful blue coat. When I first arrived here I lost a lot of my blue coat because I was stressed and lonely. But you see, I am also Blue because I am homeless and have lost my hope that there is someone for me. Sure, I am loved and cared for on a daily basis here but nothing compares to a home with a person that loves you and fawns over you daily. I am fortunate to be here because I will be able to stay safe and healthy until someone finds me and sees my true Blue potential. But in the meantime it will continue to make me Blue.
