My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi new friends, my name is Sebastian. I am currently in a foster home but I am available for adoption! If you want to adopt me, please call 219-872-4499. But first, a little bit of information about me...

I'm sure you can see that I am overweight, weighing in at 33.5 pounds and I need help to get down to a healthy weight in a healthy way. Please don't say negative things about my previous owners; let's keep the focus on helping me to find the next chapter in my life.

So, you should know that I am the world's nicest boy. The humans will tell you how sweet I am and how much they enjoy their time with me. I LOVE chin scratchies and I will purr the entire time you are petting me. I also love catnip toys! The humans make sure I have time out of my kennel to exercise a little bit and chase after them.

As far as the type of home I need, the super smart vet people at MHS believe it will take over a year to get me to an ideal weight safely, so I will need someone committed that will stick to a strict diet plan and weight re-checks. It will be best for me to have weekly re-checks until we have figured out and established a weight loss rate. My MHS friends will be there to help guide you in how to help me!

A relatively calm home environment would be nice for me. I have lived with big dog friends before but they were a bit too rough with me; if you have dogs, or other furry friends or kiddos for that matter, I would really prefer it if they were chill and cool like I am. I'm an easy-going guy!

I have such an endearing personality. Everyone who has met me was obsessed immediately. If I had a nickel for every time I was told I was "such a good boy," I would have a whole lotta nickels! I am about five years old and I'm neutered. Love, Sebastian.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is easy as 1-2-3!

Come into the shelter to meet our animals! We find the best way to select a pet is to spend time with them. Sometimes what you expect from a photo on Facebook is not what you’ll find when you meet them. We want you to know the good and the challenging about our animals!

Fill out an application at the shelter. We do not provide applications in advance, because we want you to meet the pet first. Allow yourself fifteen minutes or so to complete the two page application.

You call us the next day for our decision. We review applications during the shelter’s closed hours. Sometimes we will have questions, or you might want to bring your dog to the shelter to see if it gets along with your potential new dog. Once we are all ready, we will schedule an appointment to complete your adoption contract, pay your fees and take your new pet home!

Adoption fees are:

Puppies (6 mo. & younger) - $195
Adult dogs - $145

Kittens (6 mo. & younger) - $95
Adult cats - $70

Rabbits - $50

Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils - $25

That includes all initial vaccinations (except rabies), spay or neuter if required, heartworm or feline leukemia testing, and flea treatments.

More about this shelter

The Michiana Humane Society provides a safe harbor for 1,200+ animals yearly. Most of these animals are surrendered by their owners who can no longer provide care. We also take in strays, abandoned, and unwanted animals found in our service area. Once here, healthy, non-aggressive animals are assured of our care until we find them homes, no matter how long it takes.

With an annual budget of around $550,000, our caring staff and volunteers provide shelter, food, basic medical care, and vaccinations. Since 2015, 100% of our dogs, cats and rabbits are spayed or neutered before being adopted. We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization relying solely on private donations; we receive no tax funds to help with our mission.

Our service area includes both LaPorte County in Indiana and Berrien County in Michigan, but depending on the animal we sometimes adopt beyond those borders.

The Michiana Humane Society & SPCA has been a leader in animal welfare since 1920, when a group of local women in the Long Beach, Indiana area began to collect small amounts of money to care for stray animals. In 1948, the organization incorporated and evolved into the Michiana Humane Society & SPCA, Inc. Over the years volunteers kept the shelter going with private donations and hard work.

The shelter moved to its current location at 722 Indiana Highway 212 in Michigan City in 1997. The shelter was designed to provide plenty of space for our residents, with separate facilities for dogs, cats, and other small animals. A classroom space is used for educational offerings and group activities, and Alynne’s Animal Aid Center, our veterinary suite, provides medical care for the shelter’s animals. Our outside space includes a kennel for dog play adjacent to the building, the three-part Bark Park for meeting dogs, and a three-acre fenced dog park used by the shelter to walk and exercise dogs, and available to the community by membership.
