Story
Ruby is a super sweet dog who loves to snuggle and play. She came home with us from the shelter at the beginning of January of this year as a foster with intent. She was very emaciated and scared in the shelter. She seemed like a very mellow, lower energy, snuggly dog, which is what we were looking for. We got her home and got to work on housebreaking (as she had clearly never been taught this) and trying to fatten her up. As she's gotten healthier, her true colors have come out and her energy has increased. Unfortunately we've learned that she is not a good fit for our family. She is still quite nervous and unsure and we have two small children who, while respectful, make her nervous. She does great with adults and I think she would be a lot happier in a home with adults or at the very least older children, like teenagers. She's not a fit for young kids. We've worked with her on some training but she still needs more help with socialization and training.

Story
Hi, I'm Champ. I was running around loose on a golf course. It took quite a while to catch me but that's because I had no idea they were just trying to protect me. I thought this was about survival, and in the end it was. I get a bad rap just because of my breed, but, I'm a friendly guy who just wants to be YOUR friend!

Hi, I'm Walter. Life's not easy being a Pitbull mix. I know people just look over me because of my breed, but man we have the best smiles! I invite you to take a second look. I'm a happy, loving boy who is obedient. I will try to stay positive. For now, I'm safe and being taken care of but that's not living. Living is loving and being loved.

Hi, I'm Lou. I'm a sweet little guy. I'm shy at first but once I get to know you, I warm up. I do love to run so if you're a runner I'd make a great partner. If you have little ones, I can run around with them to burn some of their energy too. No matter your family situation; I'll fit right in!

Story
This is Squirrel. Unfortunately, he was abandoned by his owner who used to work at the shelter. However, he doesn't hold any grudges. He knows life can be tough and at least he's in a safe place where he will be taken care of until he finds a stable home. Squirrel is a very friendly dog that gets along great with female dogs but would not do well in a home with other male dogs. He's something special. We invite you to come meet him and see for yourself!

Story
A Sweet Bull Terrier Looking for a Fresh Start Gertie is a 3-year-old tricolor Bull Terrier with a heart full of love. Surrendered by her owner to a shelter, she’s now in foster care in Fishers, Indiana, and thriving as she waits for her forever family. ✨ About Gertie • Personality: Playful, affectionate, and friendly. Gertie loves walks, fetch, and a little game of keep-away. At night, she’s a perfect lady, quietly curling up on the couch for some well-earned rest. • Kid-Friendly: She’s been great with small children she’s met and would be a wonderful family companion. • Other Pets: Gertie enjoys playing with her foster brother, Toby, though she’s a bit shy with his loud barks. She’d do best with calm dogs and no cats or small dogs due to unknown compatibility. ✨ Health & Training • House-trained and crate-trained. • Up to date on vaccinations. • Needs spaying and microchipping before adoption. Gertie is ready to start a new chapter with a loving family who will cherish her playful and sweet nature. Located in Indiana, she’s eagerly waiting for her forever home. If you or someone you know is interested in adopting Gertie, please complete an application through the Bull Terrier Club of America Rescue Welfare Trust Fund.
