Story
Meet Million! Million is a one-of-a-kind 2-year-old terrier mix who is ready to find his forever home! At about 35 pounds, he has the coloring of a Border Collie, wiry terrier hair, and the cutest upright ears that make him completely unique.  Million has been wonderful with dogs his size and larger and has been great meeting new people. He has briefly met cats and sniffed them and walked away so we believe he will be okay with cats but may need additional meet and greets if a family with cats is interested. He walks nicely on a leash and is an affectionate, fun-loving guy who would make a wonderful companion for the right family. Million does have a few special needs that his future family will need to understand: He resource guards food, so he will need to be fed separately from other pets and his bowl should be picked up promptly after meals.He is mostly housebroken but may mark when introduced to a new environment. A belly band may be helpful during his transition.Million is not a fan of being crated, although we are actively working on his crate anxiety.Because of his crate anxiety, an apartment or home with shared walls would not be a suitable environment for him.Million needs a secure fenced yard or a family committed to keeping him safely on leash. He is a wanderer and may take off if given the opportunity. Million is scheduled to go to a 10 week training program the Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan on 10/16/26 where he can learn up to 100 commands. He will be ready to go home 12/18.  If you think Million could be the right match for your family, please apply at www.trackingintheshadows.com.  Click on adoptable pets, & then click on Million's photo; from there just click on the blue ADOPT button to apply! His adoption fee is $200.  Must live within an hour of Elkhart IN.  All animals in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention. We do not adopt to homes with electric/underground fencing. Once approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet. Approved adopters should be prepared to bring Million home within 1–3 days of approval. ##2824061##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Riccwat@aol.com for more information about this pet.Meet Danny!! Danny is a 10-month-old male dog who is currently in a foster home and working on basic skills. He is getting better at fetch and dropping the ball. He is also practicing “sit” and “wait.” Danny goes on multiple walks a day and currently uses an Easy Walk harness while he continues to work on leash manners. He is intelligent, eager to please, playful, goofy, affectionate, even-tempered, a bit skittish, and housetrained. Danny has playful puppy energy and would likely enjoy having a dog buddy who can help give him more activity. In his foster home, he plays with an older doodle and can be redirected when play gets too intense. He benefits from activity, structure, and continued training. A very active senior could handle Danny as long as they are prepared for his energy and ongoing training needs. Danny can be cautious when meeting new people. In foster care, he approached a woman and wanted to be petted, but he was not ready to make contact with a man. He has not met children or cats yet. Because Danny can be enthusiastic during play, a home with medium or larger dog friends may be the best fit. The foster reports that he is not as good with their 13-pound dog because he does not yet understand that he cannot play full out with smaller animals. The foster also notes that he is intelligent and may figure this out with time, training, and supervision. Danny does well in his kennel overall. He may bark at first when left alone, but he settles down and has not been destructive. Toys and enrichment help keep him occupied. He is not afraid of water and jumps right into the wading pool. He sees geese and deer daily and still usually barks at them; he is getting acclimated, but if he is out on a walk, he wants to chase. Danny would benefit from an adopter who can continue working with him on training, exercise, and manners. We are still getting to know Danny so stay tuned for updates!! He is being fostered in Springfield, IL. Please contact riccwat@aol.com if you have questions about Danny.       *** The potential adopter will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that the foster dog is not a good match for the applicant and we do not process their application.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 5:36 pm

Around other dogs, he is still decompressing and making steady progress.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.The Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment (CARE) of St Louis MO is seeking a forever home for Nancy Drew, a young BC mix who has been in their shelter since last September when she was picked up stray in the St Louis area. Nancy is a sweet young dog who is in need of a home where dog behavior is understood and she can receive the training she needs.  Her puppy behaviors of jumping and barking can be managed and the sooner she is adopted and out of the shelter, the sooner that positive training can begin, which will allow Nancy to be the friendly youngster that the shelter workers know. Because of her shelter environment, some things are not known about Nancy:  how she rides in a car, how she behaves around children, etc.  However, her overall personality is that of a dog who wants to learn things and be with people.   If you want to know more about Nancy Drew or make an appointment to meet her, please contact CARE St Louis at adopt@icarestl.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 5:36 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact stephodellbc@hotmail.com for more information about this pet.  Maeve Fostered in Plymouth, IN ~2 Years Old | Smooth Coat BC × ACD Mix Maeve is a striking black-and-white girl you can’t help but notice. Maeve is a soft, thoughtful dog. She can be cautious with new faces at first, but she warms up with a little time and space. Once she feels safe, she’s affectionate, loyal, and loves being close to her person. A 45-minute car ride would most likely be enough time for Maeve to become comfortable with someone. She may always be a bit suspicious of unfamiliar people, but she settles in quickly and does very well once she knows you. She’s crate trained and housetrained, rides nicely in the car, and does well with other dogs (especially calmer companions). She’s an easy dog to live with once she understands her environment. She’s also great for handling — fine with baths, nail trims, and being touched all over once she’s comfortable. Maeve has a strong instinct to chase squirrels and may rush toward unfamiliar people, so a secure, fenced yard will be important to keep her safe and help prevent unwanted situations. Maeve at a glance: • Beautiful black & white coat — total eye candy • Crate trained & housetrained • Cautious with new people, but warms up reliably • Affectionate and loyal once she knows you • Good with other dogs (prefers calmer companions) • Rides well in the car • Needs a home with a secure, physical fenced yard • Has not been tested with children Maeve will do best in a patient home that lets her settle in at her own pace. Once she does, she’s an easy, devoted companion and a really special dog to have by your side. ​Please contact  stephodellbc@hotmail.com if you have any questions about Maeve.  You can complete an application to adopt Maeve or any of the dogs on our website at  www.comebyebcrescue.org  .    *** The potential adopter  will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 5:36 pm
