Story
Meet Cassius! Cassius is a 49lb, 9 month old, Boxer who is a bouncy bundle of energy with a heart full of love and a nose for fun! He was previously adopted and returned to the shelter through no fault of his own. According to his former owner, Cassius is house trained, enjoys playing with other dogs, and doesn’t seem to mind cats. He hasn’t had experience around children yet, but he’s ready for a fresh start with a loving home that will give him the chance he deserves.Whether it`s a walk around the block or a game of fetch in the yard, this curious boy is ready to go and walks well on a leash, too. He’s still a puppy at heart, so you’ll see some of those classic puppy quirks—silly zoomies, happy wiggles, and the occasional “what’s that?!” moment—but his joyful spirit is absolutely contagious.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate, and adventurous companion who’s equal parts goofy and sweet, Cassius is ready to steal your heart—and maybe your socks.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via FB Messenger or email us at jcasreception@johnsoncounty.in.gov for an application. You can also find one on our website at http://johnsoncountyanimalshelter.com/adopt/. Once an application is submitted and approved, we can set an appointment to meet the pet!

Story
Rhea is a 4-year-old female Boxer who is spayed, vaccinated, house trained, and crate trained. Due to changes in our family structure and dynamic, we need to find her a new home. She is great with people, knows basic commands, and is an energetic, playful dog. She also loves lazy days and cuddling on the couch or in bed with owners, but she does fine sleeping in her own bed when asked. A PET-FREE HOME IS REQUIRED: Rhea has had issues with unprovoked aggression toward other animals (cats and dogs) in the home, so she must be the only pet. However, she typically plays well with other dogs at the park and on walks. She had littermate syndrome, which could contribute to her behavior towards pets in the home. She also has mild seasonal alopecia. Nightly melatonin helps and is a common cure. Please message me with a bit about your home and experience if you think you may be a good fit. Toys, feeding station, two beds, various blankets, and crate included. FREE to a good home.

Story
Ruster | 1.5 year-old Neutered Male Boxer Mix Ruster came to foster care in December after an urgent rescue from the shelter where he was shut down and struggling with stress. His journey hasn’t been easy—prior to rescue, Ruster spent 28 days on the loose before being safely contained by Peaceful Souls. Because of this history, secure handling and management are imperative for him. In a home setting, Ruster has shown himself to be a sweet, gentle, and quiet dog who truly wants to do well. He sleeps calmly in a crate all night and when left alone, has had zero accidents in his foster home, and will stand by the door when he needs to go out. He meets new people nicely, is not jumpy, and settles easily once he feels safe. Ruster enjoys car rides, quiet nature walks, and has even shown confidence in busier environments—successfully touring a large retail store and relaxing at a brewery with his foster parents. He’s playful in appropriate ways and loves tug-of-war and shredding stuffies. He is dog-social and does best with respectful, non-pushy dogs. Overly forward dogs can make him uncomfortable. Ruster is currently doing well with dog-savvy cats with slow, supervised introductions. Due to his background, Ruster is a flight risk and must always be walked using a correctly fitting martingale collar and/or a secure harness setup. He can pull on the leash at times, so an adopter who understands safety protocols and is committed to secure management is essential. Ruster is a sensitive, thoughtful dog who has proven that with structure, patience, and clear boundaries, he can thrive. He’s looking for a home that values management, advocacy, and calm leadership—and in return, he’ll offer quiet companionship, affection, and a deep bond. ##2614827##

Story
Jax is a sweet boy. He has the cutest face and makes cute little sounds. He is coming out of his shell and would love to be in a family where he can play and get all the love and pets he desires. He likes to play with toys and I'm sure in time, he'd be a great "fetch" partner. He has done fine around cats, but if they (like mine) repeatedly bat at him or try to rub all over him he gets curious. I think he would fit into any life style!
