Story
Kobe is 6 years old and we adopted him in 2020 when he was 8 weeks old. He has separation anxiety and requires medication to be crated and has been destructive when left in an enclosed area for a long period of time. He’s an extremely sweet and smart dog and learns extremely quick. You are able to take away his food without aggression and he plays with other dogs well. We recently had a baby, and he’s become possessive over the baby’s toys (not his own). He’s been nothing but sweet toward the baby, but has snarled, growled, and snapped when we take away the baby’s toys from him, which is out of character. We love him dearly, but can’t risk any aggressive behavior around our soon to be mobile baby. Has never shown aggressive behavior prior.

Story
Meet Mako! Mako is a 1-year-old Border Collie mix with a heart full of love and energy to spare! She’s a playful, affectionate girl who’s known for her big hugs, endless kisses, and happy personality. Mako loves playing with her dog friends, chasing toys, and showing off the tricks she’s been learning. She’s a smart cookie who would thrive with a job or activity to keep her mind busy — agility, obedience work, or any challenge you can dream up! Eager to please and full of devotion, Mako just wants to make her people happy. She’s as sweet and loving as they come, ready to bring fun, cuddles, and loyalty to her forever home. *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis

Story
This is Triton! He is a very energetic and happy dog. We adopted him from IndyHumane in May 2023. Some of his quirky traits are: - ZOOMIES! - Will sing with you - Loves to play! With humans and with other doggies - LOVES Kong toys!! They’re the only indestructible toy we’ve found. Triton is always looking for time outside, and time to play with his people. He’s not much of a cuddler but will love to lay in the bed with you. He gets along great with my senior dog, and my senior cat! He’s great around children (12+ is all I’ve witnessed). He is very weary of Men, it takes him a day or two to get used to men. He is not aggressive by any means, but will bark and growl with food which is something new we’ve been noticing. He is a big puller on a leash, which is something we struggled to keep up with. Overall he is a very sweet and fun dog, we are looking for someone that can play fetch with him, give him time outside and can help attend to his behavioral needs.

Story
Meet handsome Copper, a striking 5-year-old pup with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life! After the sad loss of his owner, Copper was surrendered to a shelter. He’s now safe in a Misty Eyes foster home while he waits for a loving forever family to call his own. Weighing 52 pounds, Copper is believed to be an Irish Setter / Border Collie mix — a combination that often brings together intelligence, athleticism, and enthusiasm. True to his heritage, Copper is friendly, outgoing, and full of energy. He gets along well with other dogs, especially those close to his size, and would thrive with an active family. He is somewhat anxious and becomes distressed with too much activity in the home. He would do best in a quiet home without a great many visitors and noise, but with owners able to provide the physical and mental stimulation he needs. If you’re looking for a loyal walking buddy, hiking companion, or adventure partner, Copper may be the perfect match for you. If you’re ready to give this wonderful boy the fresh start he deserves, please submit an adoption application online at: https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
We got him when he was 6 months old. Born 12/26/2021. He loves to be outside but also loves to lay on the couch with you. He is timid and will take some time to get used to someone. He does not like to be alone. We had an older dog that he followed constantly. She passed away and he doesn't know what to do. We are gone 12+ hours and he is struggling. He needs attention and to not be locked up for long periods. He will chew items if left alone for to long. He gets anxious in a crate and will bark, whine, and try to escape the crate. He has not been around many other dogs, never around cats. He needs to run and be active. He does not play fetch, but always ran after our other dog trying to herd her as she chased balls. He loves to chew bones and toys. He is up to date on shots, but due for them on June 1st.

Story
Meet Dexter! ??A, 33lb, 10-month-old bundle Mini Aussie mix with endless puppy energy and a heart full of love! Dexter is the life of the party, famous for his lightning-fast zoomies around the yard and his curious nose that just has to sniff and investigate everything. Whether it’s a new scent on the breeze or something interesting in the grass, Dexter is always ready for an adventure.Playtime is his favorite time! He absolutely loves stuffy toys (especially the ones with squeakers!). Toss a ball, and you’ll see just how fast those puppy legs can go. He’s playful, silly, and guaranteed to keep you smiling. Dexter is also incredibly friendly. He adores people and gets along great with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion for a social household. His sweet nature and wagging tail make fast friends wherever he goes.Because he’s still very much a puppy, Dexter would thrive in an active home that’s ready to embrace his energy and continue his training with patience and consistency. With guidance, exercise, and lots of love, he’s sure to grow into an amazing lifelong best friend.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.
