Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi friends, I'm Pawl! I arrived at MHS as a stray so I wasn't able to share my background with them. Once I trust you, I am the most charming boy! I'm looking for someone patient and compassionate who understands that a calm and structured home will help me to be happy and feel safe. The world is a big place to a tiny boy like me, so lots of things are scary to me. I know I would be set up for success if my adopter will help me navigate when I have big feelings.
For example, when I am comfortable in a home and new people, specifically men, walk in, it makes me uncomfortable. I'm hoping someone can teach me how to be the best boy I can be when that situation comes up. The humans say that I will absolutely thrive with someone who will provide me with consistent training, gentle guidance, and a calm environment. You know, someone who is invested in me! The humans told me to tell you that with the right care and support, I will undoubtedly blossom into a confident and joyful companion.
After I've adjusted, I love snuggling. My loyalty and affection are above most! I've done great with being house-trained. I know how to come and sit on command. I like my food because it is my food. I'm working on learning that I can share and not be nervous when others come near me around it and I've been improving!
I lived in a foster home for a little bit and I learned that I love to nap. Like a lot of naps. Naps are the best. I'm not a loud and crazy fellow, I'm a quiet good boy who likes a more serene environment. I have lived with foster fursiblings and I did well! I'd prefer kiddos in the home to be about 8ish and older. I am a little over one-year-old, am about 19-pounds, and am neutered. Make sure to call to meet me! I'm hoping you will be the one to unlock my full "Pawl-tential" and show me how amazing life can be. Love, Pawl.

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

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

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.
