My story

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

This is Zeus! He is about four-and-a-half months old and is neutered. He is currently living in a foster home so to adopt Zeus, please email us at pets@michianapets.org to request an application.

But first, here is a note from his foster mom:

"Zeus is confident and playful. He gets along very well with both my young dog and senior dog. (Shelter sidenote: Zeus MUST be placed into a home with another dog.)

As much as he loves other dogs, he also loves just being around people. He follows us around and lays at my feet. He’s a little shadow and does experience some separation anxiety. He sleeps in his kennel at night and is doing really well with potty-training and he will try to wake you up to go outside before he has an accident in his kennel.

He loves puzzle toys and his Benebone chew toy. As most puppies can be, he can sometimes be a mouthy fellow so he likes plenty of toys to keep him busy. I was intimidated at first because I’ve never had a husky mix before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but he definitely changed my mind! Zeus is a social sweetheart and is eager to learn!

He’s not spastic, but he has a lot of energy so having another energetic dog in the home and a yard for him to run and play in would be beneficial. He likes walks but needs more stimulation throughout the day. I can’t say for sure, but I strongly feel like he’d love an obstacle course, lol." -Zeus's foster mom.

We think he may do okay with cats given a proper introduction! He is very smart, charming and polite. Zeus knows how to sit and take treats gently. He is such a prince!

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.
