Story
I am currently displaced and needing to rehome crypto. Preferably a home with young kids. He absolutely LOVES kids and would be perfect for a family. He would get bored without one I feel. I have never seen him bare his teeth and I have had him for almost 3 years. He is almost 5 years old in April. He is a runner if he gets loose so preferably a fenced in yard. Is good on a leash. Crate trained. Comes with cage and dog food bin.

Story
Hi, I’m Mary! I’m a sweet girl with a loving heart and so much potential. I enjoy spending time with my people and would love a family to call my own. I am heartworm positive, but the good news is that IndyHumane will be covering my treatment. I can go home through a foster-to-adopt arrangement while I complete my care. During treatment, I’ll need a calm environment and limited activity so I can heal properly. I would also benefit from continued training to help me learn my manners and build confidence. With consistency, patience, and positive guidance, I’m sure to blossom into an amazing companion. If you’re ready to support me through treatment and help me grow into my best self, I’d love to meet you!

Hi, I’m Marco! Your classic Husky with a big personality and even bigger energy! I’m fun, energetic, and always ready for an adventure (or to tell you all about my thoughts with my Husky voice). I love to run, play, and keep life exciting, and I do best with people who can keep up with my playful spirit. If you’re looking for a goofy, talkative, high-energy best friend, I’m your guy!

Story
Hi there, I'm Rashida. I'm just a shy girl looking for her fur-ever home. I am timid at first, but once I warm up, you will see just how nice I am. It is my dream to find a home for the paw-lidays. I am a cuddle bug, so if that is what you're looking for, I'm your gal. If I go home with any pups, I would prefer to have a gentle friend who will not be too rough with me! Come meet me today for a chance to be the winner of my heart.
