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

Hello, my name is Terry. I am nine years old. Well that’s what my doctor said. I am looking for a new home. I came from California because I was being neglected—left without food and stuck in a cramped spot the owners bought me to Indiana is looking for a better place for me because I have a lot of energy I like playing outside and right know I live in a small apartment. I love playing catching ball but my owner work 12 hour shift and she’s about to get another Job I need someone that could take me for walk and make new friends and a big back yard. Thank you❤️

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.

Ive had Scout since he was 8 weeks old. He will be 5 April 9th 2026. He can be a great dog for a kid free home, active home. Scout has had training with an e-collar. He is very toy motivated. He could play fetch all day if you let him. He is good with children after a certain height. We arent sure why he is afraid of toddlers. Scout knows an array of commands, and is very smart. He just doesn’t get the attention he needs in our home.

Hi, I’m Scout! I’m four years old, and around 45 lbs. I LOVE playing fetch and playing with other dogs. I’m not super fond of kids around the same hight as me but I like playing with kids bigger than me! In 2024 I had a surgery to correct my patellar luxation, but I’m all better now! I would love to go home with someone active who likes being outside and playing fetch. I need to run!

Story
$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.

Story
Meet Sallie Jo – A Shy but Sweet Little Lady Sallie Jo is a gentle soul with the softest heart. While we don’t know her exact age, she seems to be a young dog with plenty of life and love ahead of her. At about 45 pounds, she’s a petite girl who is still finding her confidence in the world. Sallie Jo is currently in a foster home with her foster sister, Nisa (also adoptable!), and the two are the best of friends. She absolutely loves other dogs and gains so much confidence by following their lead. Because of this, Sallie Jo would do best in a home with another dog to help her continue building confidence and feel secure. New people and situations can make Sallie Jo a little nervous at first, but with patience and kindness, she blossoms into the sweetest companion. She’s already potty trained and crate trained, and she’s happiest when she has a cozy, safe place to relax. Once she feels comfortable, she shows her affectionate and gentle side—leaning in for pets and enjoying quiet companionship. She has made so much progress in the short time we have known her, and we are confident she will continue to grow with the right support. Sallie Jo may need a little extra time to adjust, but the love and loyalty she offers in return are well worth it. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle companion who will thrive with patience and another dog friend, Sallie Jo may be the perfect match. Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 minutes from downtown Indianapolis.
