Story
Lilly is now living the life of luxury, as every princess should. She was rescued from a terrible backyard living situation where life was a challenge. Will continue Lilly's lavish lifestyle? She is crate trained, so she can easily be left alone. She does have a little separation anxiety, but that is because she just loves to be with people. Lilly is very friendly and adores people. She is tolerant of cats and other dogs, but as always slow introductions are always required. Lilly does tend to guard her sleep area, but what princess doesn't need their undisturbed beauty sleep? Speaking of beauty sleep, Lilly loves to cuddle under the covers as her favorite past time. Will you be the one to cuddle with her? *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis.

Story
This is Dug aka Duggie aka Mean Mug Dug....but he's not mean at all. :) Dug is a 6 month old Bulldog mix....we think? Dug loves everybody he meets but can be a little shy at first....though his tail is always wagging! He likes to play but is pretty chill for a young pup. He loves cuddling with his people and is doing very well with his crate training. Dug sleeps in a crate at night with zero accidents for up to 8 hours. He will cry and whine if he is in his crate and needs to potty. He is working on house training and going outside without his human. It seems Dug may be a little nervous he won't be let back in so he likes company when he's outside. He's a quick learner, but it’s still a work in progress and will of course require patience and time to get into a routine with a new family. Dug is VERY food motivated and perfected his "sit" command in no time! He eats fast and currently uses a slow-feeder bowl to make meal times last a bit longer. He currently lives with 2 female dogs and 3 cats. He's doing well with the kitties but he does love to chase. When given the chance, he sniffed and licked the cat and has since done great with him. He’s a very sweet boy with the cutest underbite and pouty lip. He’s about 35 pounds now but needs to gain some weight. He goes to work with his foster mama and is an angel in his cage there. He walks well on a leash but is still learning about the world so he sometimes needs a little encouragement. He LOVES car rides and is a rockstar on drives. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?? He's the perfect package! *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis. *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt

Story
Hi! I’m Fred—my best buddy & I were found wandering the streets on the East side of the city. A nice lady let me hang in her backyard for a few days until another lady came and took me to her house. I’m all puppy—super playful, big goofy paws & lots of energy! I would be a great running or hiking buddy with some training. I’m already pretty good on a leash, love kids and other dogs, & love to snuggle when I get sleepy. The vet thinks I’m about 6 months old but from the size of my paws, I’m probably going to be a big boy. I do need a home with a doggy friend so I can keep working on my manners. Do I sound like the pup for you? If so, maybe I can come live at your house forever! *Due to his young age, Fred MUST go to a home with a resident dog who can provide play-time and socialization to help him become the best dog he can be. *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt

Are you looking for a “man’s man”, Look no further than Kong! Kong is a beefcake of a dog and despite his size, is convinced he’s a tiny lap dog. Kong loves short walks to the food bowl, WWE style wrestling matches, pretty ladies, and FOOD. Kong does well with other dogs, children (although they should be pretty sturdy), and we’d be willing to cat test.

Clyde was found with a female dog, Bonnie, as strays. Clyde is a happy-go-lucky dog who is great with other dogs (he lives with 4 in his foster home), as well as children. He has not been cat-tested. Clyde has a wonderful personality and he loves to cuddle. His only flaw is that he likes to jump on people when he gets excited, but he controls himself around little ones. Clyde is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He is approximately 1 year old and 53 lbs.

Story
Pancake (Axel) has been gaining confidence with his foster sister & cousins. He's a chill guy that wants to curl up with you and a good toy. He does great on a leash and is an expert car passenger (although he might need a boost in). He is a perfect pup on the trails and has been doing great at the weekly farmer's market. He's scared of most loud noises and needs some coaxing after banging pots and pans around in the kitchen, but surprisingly has no fear or the lawnmower or weedeater. He's such a sweet boy with the biggest smile!

Here's Shortys bio Hi my name is Shorty. I am an incredibly sweet & affectionate squishy faced spayed bulldog mix with more love to give than I know what to do with. I have the most beautiful light eyes & a beautifully tri colored colored coat. I have all kinds of silly facial expressions & an adorable underbite. Im not much of a fan of car rides it kinda makes me nervous so I stay still & quiet so my human can focus on driving. I am a pretty chill lazy girl but I do get sudden zoomie outburst. I am prod to say I am potty & create trained. I do well very with kids. I do get excited & jumpy sometimes but I am working on that. I love ALL the attention I can get so I must be the ONLY dog in the household. But I do like & am good with strangers. People love me & I love them. I'm not sure I'd do well with cats as I don't think I've even met one.

Story
Big Mama came to us during a large hoarding case, where we took in 20+ animals. We called her Big Mama, as it was thought she was pregnant, and fed her as such. Turns out, she was NOT pregnant, and had to lose some weight. Over time she has been on a low calorie (supplemented with green beans) diet, exercise, and has lost a lot of weight! She is a stout, friendly, happy girl. She loves everyone, toys, walks, and being next to you. She also loves her crate! Is housetrained when she is able to go out often. Owners would have to stick to her diet and exercise to make her most comfortable.
