Story
Jackie is a 1 year old husky/poodle mix, weighing about 40lbs.Jackie is a sweet girl who loves to be outdoors and loves other dogs. She'd love to have siblings! Her favorite things are butt scratches and tummy rubs. She is fearful of men but can warm up to them. She has never been aggressive toward anyone. She is people shy but if you're happy to see her, she's happy to see you!She loves to play chase and rough house with other dogs, but never aggressively. She's great on leash, and only pulls if she spots a small animal. Her coat doesn't need much maintenance, just a quick brush and maybe a trim around the mouth and eyes on occasion.She was surrendered to a shelter by a backyard breeder who treated her very poorly. Once she comes out of her shell, she has a vibrant personality. She is very smart, and learns quickly. She is crate trained, house trained, and knows most basic commands. All of her belongings will go with her!

Story
Gimli is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian.Gimli is a lab/probably boxer mix. Very high strung, loves to play. We need to give him up because he has gotten super anxious in the apartment and when we take him on walks (barks and lunges at other people, dogs, bicycles) and has started resource guarding. He has been around cats without incident, we don't know how he is with children and he used to be friendly with dogs (but we don't have any others and as stated he barks and lunges now). He would really benefit from a yard to run and play in.If you would like to inquire into adopting this pet, PLEASE EMAIL 971-600-6613***Please contact the owner directly***

Story
Maggie is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian.Maggie is great with people, though a little excitable, she has lived with and played with a 1-3 year old as the toddler has grown up and loves when she comes in to feed her or give her treats. Maggie has had reactive tendencies in the past, especially with other dogs but chases cats as well. Despite her reactive tendency she has successfully acclimated to dogs that she previously was aggressive towards after some time and work. Her best home is probably with someone without other pets or with someone willing and able to work with her to acclimate her. I would not be giving her up except I am moving to Spain where American Staffordshire terriers/Pit bulls are a banned breed.If you would like to inquire into adopting this pet, PLEASE CALL OR TEXT (812) 267-7202***Please contact the owner directly***
