Story
This sweet baby has been living with me, my senior dog, two cats, and several adults for the last 4 years. For the first several years she had lots of room to run. After I moved and had less space she has become a bit of an escape artist. She is high energy, and needs someone who can spend time playing with her, taking her on walks, and opportunities to run. She loves attention. She does currently live with two cats, but she can be a bit rough with them (runs at them too fast and scares them), but is currently best friends with our kitten. She has spent her whole life with my older dog, who recently passed away, and she is struggling with the transition. She would prefer to be in a house with another dog. I am currently planning a move to Chicago, where she will not be able to get the time and attention she needs, or the space. She is so smart, and a quick learner - especially with the right people who are dedicated to working with her on training. She knows basic commands.

Story
Kyle is a special guy and our longest term canine resident. Every so often, we get a dog that just doesn't quite conform to the typical canine ways. Perhaps they would prefer to be cats, or don't really know how to speak dog. Maybe they are introverts and wish they weren't expected to be quite so social all the time. Whatever the case may be, Kyle is one of those pooches. He is incredibly affectionate with his people, wanting to give kisses and sit in their laps. He makes some very funny noises, often sounding like the grouchy old man he is on the inside. He is housetrained and always potties right away when he goes outside. He is quite smart and quick to offer a paw in exchange for a treat. Except...it better be the kind he likes, or he'll spit it out. He is doing his best to learn about How to Be a Dog and is currently in a foster home with another male dog. He's not terribly playful, though he'll trot around now and then or paw to say hello.If interested in Kyle, please email our Outreach and Behavior Coordinator Emily Herr at herre@bloomington.in.gov

Story
Max is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care and Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian.Max can live in any home, from apartments to houses, but he would likely do better in a house with a yard. He is friendly to strangers, and he is good with cats. He is not good with dogs, however. I believe that he has successfully been fostered in a home with children before. Max has skin problems and requires Apoquel daily and a simple diet.If you would like to inquire into adopting this pet, PLEASE TEXT 574-329-2302***Please ignore the Apply to Adopt button for this pet & contact the owner directly***
