Story

🖤 Draco is ready for his forever 🖤 Draco is looking for an urgent foster or adopter! 🙏🏼 Draco isn’t only the loyal dog everybody wants, but he is determined to be your best friend for life no matter what. Dogs never seem to fail humans but yet so many are failed by owners. Draco is ready to have a furever home where he won’t be failed! Draco is a great dog who loves to snuggle on the couch with his person and give you plenty of kisses. He enjoys running outside and playing with his abundance of toys. He also enjoys a big backyard to run in when he gets the zoomies. Unfortunately many would look past him because of his coloring, but I think it makes him stand out even more. I have truly enjoyed taking care of this precious soul, he is such a joyful dog and will make someone very happy! He is hard of hearing so when you want to get his attention I either squeak a toy or I wave to him to come. This treat motivated boy will make the perfect dog for someone who is willing to give him the chance he needs. Quick facts ⬇️ •5 year old male pitbull •Dog friendly; cat selective •Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and fixed •Hearing impaired •Energetic and loves jolly balls •Loves to snuggle 📝 Foster application: https://form.jotform.com/secondchancespetsanctuarytx/Second-Chances-Foster-Application 📝 Adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/secondchancespetsanctuarytx/Second-Chances-Adoption-Application 📍 Currently being fostered in Fort Wayne, IN Foster or adopter in the Midwest needed!

Story

Meet Mia! ??A 41lb, 2-year-old Alaskan Husky who is incredibly sweet and happiest when she’s spending time outdoors, soaking up fresh air and adventure. She’s very people-oriented and loves being near her humans, often chatting away in true husky fashion—she’s quite the conversationalist. Mia isn’t really interested in toys; she’d much rather enjoy your company or explore her surroundings. She’s impressively athletic (she can clear a 6-foot fence!), so she’ll thrive with secure outdoor space and an active lifestyle. While walking through the kennels, Mia shows little concern for other dogs and seems content minding her own business.If you’re looking for a loyal, vocal, and affectionate companion who loves the outdoors as much as you do, Mia might just be your perfect match.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Story

Meet Lilly! ??A 25lb, 2-year-old, Jack Russell Terrier who came to the shelter alongside her housemate, Rosie, after a sudden loss in her family. The big changes were overwhelming for her, and she arrived feeling very stressed and timid. Lilly does best when people listen to her boundaries. Because of this, she’s looking for a calm, understanding home with children who are teen age or older, where everyone can move at her pace and let trust build. She’ll need adopters who are patient, kind, and willing to give her the time she needs to feel safe and secure.In the right home, with steady routines and gentle encouragement, Lilly has the potential to continue blossoming into a loving companion. If you’re someone who believes in going slow, celebrating small victories, and giving a dog the space to be herself, Lilly may be the perfect match for you.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Ruger

Treeing Walker Coonhound

Male, 7 yrs

Franklin, IN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Ruger ??Ruger is a 47lb, 7-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound who’s been quietly winning hearts here at the shelter. He arrived with another dog and was pretty scared and timid at first—shelter life can be loud and overwhelming. But once we got him out of his kennel and into a calmer, quieter space, Ruger showed us who he really is: a sweet, gentle, and lovely boy.Ruger warms up quickly and enjoys human affection. He’s a curious guy who loves to sniff out all the interesting smells around him, and he’s always happy to earn a treat—especially if that treat happens to be cat food (his favorite!). He also loves to play fetch and is thrilled when someone takes the time to engage with him.He doesn’t seem to mind having other dogs around and does well in their presence. We’re still unsure how Ruger feels about cats, so a meet-and-greet would be recommended if there are feline friends at home.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via FB Messenger or email us at jcasreception@johnsoncounty.in.gov for an application. You can also find one on our website at http://johnsoncountyanimalshelter.com/adopt/. Once an application is submitted and approved, we can set an appointment to meet the pet!
