Midas is a 4 year old Bully Mix. He is very sweet and friendly with people. We have had him at the kennel during my brother-in-laws illness and he has been good around other dogs We are looking to re-home him. My brother-in-law is ill and in the hospital, when he is released he will not be able to live on his own again and not be able to keep Midas. We want to find a good home for Midas. He deserves a chance for a good home with a family. He is neutered and currently has all his shots up to date.

Jack Russell Terrier

Story
Sticks is a sweet 2-year-old Jack Russell who came from the same litter as her sister, Twigs. She’s an incredibly loyal dog who loves nothing more than being close to her humans — snuggling is absolutely her love language. She’s well-mannered in the house and only chews on her toys. Sticks does have one quirk: she isn’t a big fan of other dogs. While she can tolerate them at times, she can also become territorial, and her tension with her sister has been growing. Because of this, we believe Sticks will be happiest in a calm home where she can be the only dog and receive the solo attention she truly deserves. What she does love is adventure. Sticks is an energetic, outdoorsy girl who’s always up for a hike, walk, or run — you name it. She regularly ranks as one of the top Jack Russells on the Fi leaderboards for daily steps in the whole state, and she would thrive with an active person or family who enjoys getting outside.

Story
Skylar & Bella are Courtesy Listings and are not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for these pets. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pets' guardian.This is Skylar and Bella! They are amazing dogs!! They are siblings and just turned six on August 2. They love my cats and love other dogs, they love going to Ferguson dog park as well and always make friends. They give new cats space and will allow them to come up and check them out, but if there is an animal outside they will try to chase it. A fenced in yard would be amazing for them but not a necessity if you visit the dog park! Since they are six they have calmed down and enjoy laying on the couch and watching movies while snuggling, or they will play and run! They are fantastic with children as they have been around babies and up! They do not like their nails being trimmed so that will need to be worked on! They are both fixed!! Skylar is the male and he is white and tan with bright blue eyes, and his sister Bella is the dark brown and white with brown eyes! They truly deserve to be able to run and play as they want to. They really will be your best friends or your children's best friends.If you would like to inquire into adopting this pet, PLEASE TEXT or CALL 812-578-9732***Please ignore the Apply to Adopt button for this pet & contact the owner directly***
