Story
This is Dora, she’s a female around 3’5 years old. She isn’t fixed as the rescue told us to hold off for a bit when we adopted her (last year) but she has most of her vaccines and got treated for Lyme disease. We are looking to rehome her to a loving and caring home. Someone who has patience and time for her. She’s good with kids, cats and dogs. She has a very calm and gentle nature. She is a rescue dog and needs a lot of love, affection and , she’s quite sensitive but has so much love to give. She loves running, especially in the snow! It would be ideal she went to a home with a fence as we all know great Pyrenees like to bolt! She does always work her way home but we try to avoid that from happening

Story
Sadie is 5 as of this January. My parents got Sadie as a puppy and love her very much, but they will both be 80 this year and have suffered some significant health issues that prevent them from giving Sadie the attention and exercise she needs. She is super friendly. She absolutely loves to go outside and play fetch with a tennis ball. She can stand short stints in a crate, but she has never had to be in one all day. My parents are looking for a loving owner who has the time to spend with her, take her on walks/runs and can play fetch. She has a wonderful disposition and is a very loving dog. She is located in Bloomington IN, but can easily be retrieved for interested adopters in the greater Louisville area.

Story
Meet Dao, a sweet, energetic coonhound! Dao loves to explore and needs plenty of space to roam. He thrives in a rural setting, ideally on a farm or large property, where he can burn off his energy. Dao isn’t suited for suburban living and requires freedom to run. What Dao Needs: • Space to roam – no suburban homes • No small children due to resource guarding tendencies • No leash walks – needs room to run freely • Good with other animals, but may struggle with other dogs due to guarding behaviors Dao is a loving companion who will thrive in a home with time, space, and an active lifestyle. We’re offering a 3-month trial to ensure it’s the right fit. Based in Indiana, but willing to travel for the perfect match. Reach out if you can offer Dao the life he deserves!

Coco

Miniature Pinscher Miniature Dachshund

Female, 5 yrs 1 mo
Bloomington, IN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
THIS LOVING BONDED PAIR STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOME. THEY ARE YOUNG SO ENJOY PLAYING AND LOVE BEING CLOSE TO YOU. IF YOU ARE WANTING AN AWESOME PAIR, LOOK NO FURTHER. Coco is part of a bonded mother/daughter pair. Their owner passed and when the foster took them in, Princess, the daughter was pregnant. I have updated all vaccinations and Princess is now spayed as is Coco. They will use a pee pad and will potty outside if able to get outside to go. Coco is more reserved but both are lap dogs once they know you. They have been around little dogs (senior yorkies) without issue and at the vet, Princess didn't show interest in the cat, but Coco hasn't been cat tested. We would not recommend kids under 6 yrs as kids are learning boundaries. They cannot be separated. Would prefer a fenced yard just so they can play off leash. Princess is a min pin/chi mix, about 2 yrs old. Coco is a min pin mix and seems to really enjoy men and Princess likes whoever is available!
