Story
Meet Bruno!  He's a laid back man who is hilariously unamused by life.  He lives for meal time and couch snuggles simply said. One thing about Bruno is he's going to rest, he's going to take a breather, he's going to take a seat.  Although he does enjoy the occasional short leash walk, he's more of a couch guy that a go-er/do-er sort of guy.  His demeanor combined with puppy dog eyes are quick to get the household jumping to appease him, it's just the magic that he brings.  Bruno is highly food motivated, but at the detriment of his waist line so his forever family should proceed cautiously.  He makes a great couch companion, but also has moments of independence where he might rest solo, but he will be resting. Bruno is good with other dogs, but would require a slow introduction.  Bruno has good potty habits and once the routine is established has minimal to no indoor accidents.  His adoption fee is $200. You can apply to adopt at www.trackingintheshadows.com. Click on adoptable pets. Scroll down unil you see his picture & click on it. Click on the blue ADOPT button to complete the application.  Once approved, we will set up a day/time for you to meet him.  Please be ready to take him home within 1-3 days after application approval. *We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved.* Please live within 1 hour of Elkhart, IN or Cassopolis Michigan.  We do sometimes make exceptions to distance for the right famiy for our dogs. ##2878234##

Story
Max is an absolute sweetheart who loves being the center of attention! His favorite things include curling up in someone’s lap, going for car rides, & walks. He can be a little shy with new people, but a tasty treat is usually all it takes to win him over! Once he’s comfortable, his affectionate personality shines through. He even knows how to sit pretty & give high fives! Max does well with children & other dogs who respect his space. He would not appreciate a home with a young and active dog who crowds him. Coexisting is best or he can be an only dog. He does also need fed separately due to food agression.  He takes his lap time seriously though, & may growl if another dog approaches while he’s snuggled up with his person. He’s also completely fine with cats & small animals, just very curious about them! Max is potty trained, but doesn’t mind wearing belly bands either! He does experience separation anxiety, especially when crated. He may whine or howl for quite a while before settling. His foster uses a sound machine to help him relax, & he’ll need a patient family willing to help him become more comfortable spending time alone.  Max also has some extra weight to lose! His future family must be committed to helping him reach a healthier weight through proper nutrition, portion control, & regular exercise with veterinary guidance. Thankfully, he already loves his walks! Max’s ideal home is one where he’ll receive plenty of love, have his boundaries respected, & be given the patience & consistency he needs to thrive. He will require regular grooming.  Max's adoption fee is $200.  He is fully vetted for 1 year, neutered, microchipped, & on monthly preventatives. He also just had a dental. Applications for adoption are at www.trackingintheshadows.com.  Please live within 1 hour of Elkhart, IN or South Bend, IN.  Once approved, we will set up a day/time for you to meet Max. Please be ready to take him home within 1-3 days after application approval.*We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved.* ##2878242##

Story
For those waiting for a pup with personality, Pippin is here! While he resembles a baby kangaroo with his big ears and a parrot with how he likes to perch on shoulders, he is actually a 6 lb chihuahua that is estimated to be around a year old.He loves cuddling and giving kisses however he can, but that does come at the expense of personal boundaries at times. Pippin came to us as a stray and has not lost his sense of exploration and adventure from that. He is not prone to running away, but can sneak away if there's a big enough gap in fences if not watched. He is still getting used to being on a leash, but shows great promise as long as there is slack on the leash.Pippin originally came to us with demodectic mange, which develops when a dog is immunocompromised, and the mite population overwhelms their skin, causing the non-contagious mange. While his skin and immune system have greatly improved, he will need to stay on NexGard Plus as his preventative for the next three months before switching to a different preventative. This will be sent with him to ensure the right brand and type is taken. He will also require baths twice a month until his skin is completely clear. Pippin is fully vetted for a year and will only need his monthly preventative and bathsPippin shows great promise as a pet as long as his training is reinforced and expanded upon. He is crate trained and settles in shortly after vocalizing his disappointment at being apart from you. He is becoming acclimated to having a leash, but still freezes and panics a bit when it is pulled taut. He has learned to sit patiently for treats and meals and should be ready to graduate to further commands. His recall is quite good, but he is still a puppy that can get distracted. We have been working on his cooperative care, and he is comfortable with having his paws and ears touched and is getting familiar with the nail grinder. He has spent less than a month living in a home so while we cannot confidently say housebroken, he has been doing well on a schedule and is understanding that he should go outside. He will bark when crated to let you know he needs to go.Pippin likes other dogs, but may not be every dog's cup of tea. He may not get other dogs' cues to leave them alone and does not like it when other dogs get too close to him when he is eating meals or treats - we currently feed all dogs in the household in their own crates to avoid any food aggression. He loves toys and is willing to share them all. Pippin has met cats and is a big fan but has not met children yet.Pippin would thrive in a home that would welcome his kisses and cuddles and reciprocate with attention and playtime. He is a naturally curious dog that has been learning quickly from the other dogs in his foster home and shows great promise with continued training. Pippin’s adoption fee is $200.  He is fully vetted for 1 year, neutered, microchipped, & on monthly preventatives.Applications for adoption are at www.trackingintheshadows.com.  Please live within 1 hour of Elkhart, IN or South Bend, IN.  Once approved, we will set up a day/time for you to meet Pippin. Please be ready to take him home within 1-3 days after application approval.*We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved.* ##2857872##
