Story
Meet Dunkin! This big, goofy guy is a bundle of joy with a love for the outdoors. He thrives in open spaces where he can stretch out and enjoy the sunshine. Dunkin is a ball fanatic—whether it’s chasing, fetching, or just chewing on his favorite toy, he’s always ready for some playtime. Dunkin is as intelligent as he is loyal, but he’s a bit of a mystery at first. He loves to play hard to get, so you’ll have to work for his affection, but trust us—it’s totally worth it. Once Dunkin has decided you're his person, you’ll have a best friend for life, full of loyalty, cuddles, and fun times together. He’s looking for a lowkey household where he can feel at ease, spread his paws, and unwind. If you’re patient and ready for a love that’s truly earned, Dunkin just might be the perfect companion for you!

Story
Some time in June I happened to stumble upon her at a young age. Coming home from work in a semi rural area she popped out of the side of the road and almost made me and my car take a tumble off the road. Luckily I managed to stop and, look in front thinking it hadn’t crossed yet when I opened my door to see what it was or if it had crossed already I found her a baby at the time run up to me, although I knew one dog at home was a bit of work I thought to myself I couldn’t leave her behind like this so I took her in. Ever since then she’s been a fine dog up until recently, at the time I picked her up and took her in I was single no responsibility in sight for the most part, unfortunately for her and fortunate for me I have a baby boy now and can’t seem to find the time I used to dedicate to her, as well as she seems to want more room and has begun to run away although she is very easy to call back and never once gone but two blocks away, she is in need of an active family.

Story
Thanks to the kindness of an anonymous donor, Upton`s adoption fee has been sponsored. He is one step closer to finding his forever home! We are so grateful for this anonymous donor, and are hopeful Upton finds his forever home very soon! ????I’m a 1-year-old, 67-pound German Shepherd mix bursting with energy and excitement. Whether I’m playing ball, catching toys, or splashing around in water, I’m always up for fun and adventure. I absolutely love playing in water—it’s one of my favorite ways to cool off and have a blast! Treats are another big favorite of mine, especially chicken-flavored ones. I’m also great at finding treats hidden in the grass, adding a little extra excitement to playtime. I enjoy meeting new people and exploring all the interesting smells in the play yard.If you’re looking for a playful, water-loving companion with endless energy and a joyful spirit, I’m the perfect match. Let’s create some unforgettable memories together!We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via FB Messenger or email us at jcasreception@co.johnson.in.us for an application.

Frankie was found as a stray, and made her way to our rescue. She is a very active, high energy girl looking for a home where she can spend a lot of time playing (she lives for her ball!) and going for hikes. She is bonded to another dog at our rescue (Goose), and they would love to find a home together. But she can be adopted separately to the right home.
