Story
Tommy is a 1 year old Border Collie mix with bright eyes and a busy brain, the kind of dog who is always ready for the next assignment. He was surrendered for not being the right fit for his previous family, but that just means his perfect match is still out there.Tommy does jump when he gets excited, so he would do best in a home with kids 8 and up who can handle his enthusiasm. He keeps his kennel clean when let out regularly, walks nicely on a leash, and takes treats gently. He is also a big fan of chewing on bones, happily settling in once his energy has had a proper outlet.He gets along well with other dogs but would prefer a cat free home. With structure, activity, and someone who appreciates a smart, active companion, Tommy will absolutely thrive. He is ready to trade “not the right fit” for “home at last.”

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
Azul is 3yrs 10 months he was given to us as a puppy by a family friend who rescued him from an abusive living situation. He is super loving but is not compatible with our living situation and needs to go to a person who can keep up with his high energy as he loves to escape when possible he is tolerated by other animals but can be seen as bothersome to other dogs sometimes. He is potty trained and nuetered.

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 23, 2026, 2:42 pm

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 23, 2026, 2:42 pm

Around other dogs, he is still decompressing and making steady progress. He enjoys pretending they are sheep and may try to herd them, but daily daycare is helping him learn to play rather than simply herd. He has been indifferent toward cats.

Story
    MEET BEAR!   Hi everyone! I’m Bear, a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix searching for my forever family!   I’m a sweet, affectionate, loyal boy with the most striking brown eyes and a little sassy side! I love kids, get along with cats and other dogs, and enjoy exploring the yard, sniffing everything in sight, and being close to my people.   A little about me:   I know sit and lay down, walk well on a leash, and did great for my bath!   I’m still learning house manners and occasionally mark indoors, but I respond well to correction. My foster mama thinks I may be new to living inside a home before, so I’m still figuring out all these house rules. Please be patient with me while I learn! I also keep my kennel exceptionally clean! I’m a very tidy gentleman    Chickens are a NO-GO! My foster mama calls them livestock; I call them walking chicken nuggets.   I can be protective of my food, so separate feeding in my kennel is recommended, especially around children and other pets.    I have a little sass! If I don’t get my way, you might hear me howl about it.   One Last Thing….   Nobody knows my whole story, but my foster mama thinks I may have had a rough start. Despite that, I’m incredibly loving, trusting, and just want to be somebody’s best friend.   I’m still learning, so all I ask for is a little patience, consistency, and lots of love. In return, I promise to be your loyal companion.   Could you be my forever person?   Love, Bear If you are viewing this pet's profile on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet,.please use the application link at the bottom of the profile to apply.
