Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Have you ever seen a dog who tap dances with their front feet? Or who does little "tippy-taps"? When Ginger is excited, she sits like the polite babe that she is and she tippy-taps her front paws like she is dancing. It is the most precious, most endearing behavior ever.
Ginger has lived with respectful kiddos, about 5ish years old, before so we think she'd love to be a family dog! She really enjoyed being around them.
She knows how to sit, lay down and shake paws. In Ginger's previous home, she was amazing at being house-trained. She also was not destructive when left alone. When you are home, Ginger wants to be with you and isn't super comfortable if she knows you are there and can't see you. But if you are out running errands, she has done just fine on her own.
Depending on the resident dog, Ginger may do okay. She has lived with another dog before and co-existed nicely. We think she would be content to be the only dog, as well. She's mostly interested in attention and love from people. She was mostly uninterested in meeting kitty friends at the shelter; so, with a proper introduction, Ginger may do okay if you have cats.
Going for walks, snuggling and going for car rides are a few of her favorites. She also enjoys tennis balls, squeaky toys and tug ropes.
Ginger is about seven years old, is spayed and weighs 48 pounds. Her ears are perfect and her personality is precious. Please be patient when you meet her. She can be reserved initially then after some yummy, reinforcing treats, she realizes you are a friend. She's a gem and we love her so much.

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.
