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!

Story
Freeze is a young border collie mix around 2 years old and 35lbs. She is happy to coexist with other dogs and seems to be best suited for a laid back dog that’s larger than she is. She would also thrive in a home as a solo companion with her person. Freeze is potty trained, crate trained, and overall a well mannered girl. Shes shy with new people, but does warm up pretty easily once in a comfortable space. She enjoys walks and playing fetch with her person.Freeze is fully vetted and ready to find her new home!

Story
We’ve had Wickett for the last 6 years. He has traveled many states with us and hiked many trails and has ran freely as a farm dog in between. We believe now at this stage of his life he would do best with an experienced family with no kids or kids that are older and can respect his space. Our son is in his toddler years and there is a lot of sporadic movements and food that puts him in difficult situations. He is friendly around our son and enjoys his pets when they are supervised. He is muzzle trained. Very sweet and loving dog. Wants to be with/near his people. Is very smart and food driven. Loves to chase squirrels/small animals and can jump 4ft fence. Meets new people best when he is outside in open space. Let him approach in his own time. Very protective of his space and area. He knows sit, stay, down, paw, touch. He has a dog brother for past 6 years and takes time being introduced to other dogs and animals.

Rizzo’s Compatibility:Dogs - Bring yours by and we’ll see if they click!Cats - YesKids - Yes, 8+Rizzo is a handsome cattledog mix who is housebroken, crate trained, and knows all the important stuff like sit, lie down, give paw, and how to gaze lovingly into your soul. He’s a social eater (he likes to dine near his people like the little gentleman he is) and an expert napper who takes his sunbathing schedule very seriously. Rizzo`s foster mom states that he enjoys running with her, and they`ve even started doing Couch to 5k together!Rizzo has been an excellent office buddy here at HSHC and a devoted companion to the people who’ve taken the time to get to know him. He’s hoping for a calm and steady home where guests are few, and he can really settle in as someone’s best friend.He may not be the life of the party, but if you prefer quiet mornings, loyal company, and a dog who thinks the sun rises and sets with you... Rizzo is already halfway in love. Come meet him and see if the feeling’s mutual!

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
Red is the definition of a quiet soul who simply needs someone willing to let him move at his own pace. The world has felt a little overwhelming lately, but every day he shows that trust is something he wants to build. With familiar people, Red has made remarkable progress. Volunteers who have spent time with him report that he now allows leashing, handling, and even being picked up, all because they earned his confidence by respecting his boundaries. He doesn`t ask for much, just patience, kindness, and the chance to realize he`s finally safe. Red isn`t the type of dog who will rush into your arms on day one, and that`s what makes every little milestone with him so rewarding. He likes to make the first move, and once he knows you`re a friend, he continues to grow more comfortable. Watching Red become a little braver each day has been incredibly special, and it`s easy to imagine how much more he`ll blossom in the calm, predictable environment of a home. If you have room in your heart for a dog whose greatest gift will be the trust he chooses to place in you, Red is ready to begin that journey. All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter`s care.

$1000 reward for anyone that finds or returns Sid to us!! NO QUESTIONS ASKED!! Sid has been missing since June 13, 2022 from his foster home in Indianapolis Indiana from Meridian park 46205 area. Meet Sid! His mom is Clare the cattle dog mix. He is 1 year old and ever so sweet. Super food motivated. Hes about 28 pounds and at most he will be 33 pounds. Sid ended up with us because he was one of nine dogs confiscated in a cruelty case. Sid was labeled feral and needed help to gain trust, confidence being handled. Sid has exceeded our expectations. He is AMAZING and by far the most awesome little guy ever. He is great with all dogs, cats, and strongly believe he will be perfect with pet friendly kids. A fenced yard is a must. An active home who will continue to allow him to experience life. Daily walks, going on hikes and trails, swimming, OMG he loves swimming. He needs a active outdoor activity loving family with at least 1 or 2 playful dogs in the home. He loves, loves loves car rides and every day he gets better meeting and trusting people. Sid is crate trained and house broken, he walks great on leash and is extremely food motivated. Sid is house and crate trained up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto, rabies, dewormed, fecal tested negative, microchipped, neutered, and on monthly heartworm flea/tick prevention. Updated: 2/1/2023 www.animalhousesanctuary.org We believe training is an ongoing process that needs to be worked on daily. New issues that arise, need to be addressed and/or rewarded. Understanding that continued training is a lifetime commitment, is very important. Out-of-state adopters are welcome at the adopter's expense. Meet & Greets are a required before proceeding with an adoption. We DO NOT ship any of our pets.
