Story
Currently located at our Chrisney, IN location Adoption Bio: Scruffy Meet Scruffy! This handsome Great Pyrenees mix is just over a year old and weighs in at about 80 pounds — but don’t let his size fool you… he’s still just a big baby at heart. Scruffy can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but once he warms up, his true personality shines. And what a personality it is! He’s incredibly sweet, gentle, and full of love. Give him a little patience and reassurance, and you’ll quickly see that all he wants is to be close to his people and soak up affection. With his young age and loving nature, Scruffy has so much potential to grow into the most loyal and devoted companion. He just needs a family willing to give him the time and understanding to build his confidence. Once he trusts you, you’ll have a best friend for life. If you’re looking for a big-hearted boy who will reward your patience with endless love, Scruffy might just be your perfect match. Submit an adoption application at ITVrescue.org and come meet this oversized sweetheart! All of our dogs are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested and treated, if necessary. ##2636244##

Story
Hello! My dogs name is Cloudy. I love her to bits but due to several personal reasons I am unable to keep her. Here's everything you need to know! I found her roaming the neighborhood with a fractured and dislocated hip covered in fleas and dirty. It took me a couple months to get her comfortable with me loving on her and being inside. She started to lay on the porch day in and day out so I decided to keep her! It has been 2 years. I got her leg fixed, vaccinated, treated, etc. She's a big chewer (seriously) so put up your shoes and have a trash can. And plenty of toys... Also a big shedder! She's potty trained and very sweet, protective, clingy, and playful. She does react to people she's not a big people person (at first) she has her person and everyone else is suspicious! Because of her rough beginning I do use a muzzle on her at vet appointments, when people come over, etc. She hasn't bitten anyone but she would if she thought she had too. She got alot of character!

Story
Koda has been with me since 2021. He was adopted at 6 months old from a local facility in Texas where he was found with burnt paws which is suspected from the hot concrete streets. Koda has been house trained right away after I adopted him and he has been with me since then. He doesn't have any behavioral issues, and sadly we are looking to get him rehomed because of the fact that our youngest toddler may have an allergy to him and Koda isn't getting the attention he deserves either with 2 kids in the house. He enjoys backyard. open space and walks but can handle small living quarters if needed. He does extremely well around other dogs, he used to go to the dog park all the time. He is not food aggressive and enjoys cuddling. I would really like someone who has the time for him and can give him the attention that he deserves. He is neutered, is currently on flea and tick medicine and is up to date on all his shots.
