Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Ahh, Miss Nancy. She tries so hard to be such a good girl, and has learned so much in the few short weeks she’s been with us.
Nancy joined the Michiana crew as a stray and has been working to gain some much-needed weight. She has been getting medicated baths to treat a few skin issues (which have greatly improved!). Her fur is SO shiny now!
Nancy is the biggest couch potato, and with the colder days, she is happiest snuggled into a pile of blankets. She is silly, sweet, and so willing to learn.
Nancy has worked very hard to understand how to be gentle when taking treats and toys to play. She can get a bit over-zealous, but with a quick reminder to “wait” and “be easy”, you can see the light bulb turn on. She will sit for hours playing with chew toys, like Kongs, and seems to be on a mission to rid the world of the squeakers in stuffed toys, lol.
Nancy loves to be the center of your attention and wants to be wherever you are. She soaks up every ounce of affection and belly rubs she can get. Nancy is quite the hugger! She likes to hop up politely, wrap her paws around you, and gives the tiniest kisses.
She has the funniest creeping sit/stay when treats are in sight! She will sit with a snap, and then scoots her lil' tush closer with each backward step you take. When treats are absent, Nancy will sit and stay like a champ.
Nancy will prefer to be the only pet in the home and has mixed reviews regarding other furry friends. Nancy is usually vocal as people enter the house, but as soon as she sees who it is, she comes to say hi as the welcoming committee and gets all the pets.
Nancy is continuing to learn about boundaries and good manners and will need patience as she builds her confidence and tries to understand what you want from her. She is so willing to learn and craves that “good girl” approval and reassurance." -Nancy's foster mom.
To adopt Nancy, please email us pets@michianapets.org. She is about two years old and is spayed. She weighed 45 pounds when she first arrived and now weighs a healthy 57 pounds! She's just the best good girl. Please adopt Nancy.

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.
